Only Murders in the Building (2021)
Good At First
This was really good in the first few episodes. Funny and suspenseful, then it really dragged with the subtitles. Why would they do that when they started with a great vehicle?
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)
A Truly Wonderful Movie (despite one chowderhead)
I just read through the, I believe, 33 reviews of this movie. Except for a very few, they were mostly glowing. Then I got to the end and read the comments from "chowderhead" (his name must give you a clue, he is a chowderhead.) Our "friend" chowderhead, tells us he's watched the movie three times... "so far" (what a life he must live.) Now, what kind of a chowderhead watches a movie three times and still claims he hated it? Only a chowderhead, in my opinion.
I too first saw this movie as a 9-year-old boy and was spooked, entertained and amused by it from beginning to end. As a grown-up, I find it still holds up excellently and I'm thankful that we have the technology to enjoy films of the past. And this one really holds up as well as any of them. So if you just want to see a really entertaining (mildly spooky) and funny movie, one that you can enjoy with your kids, then go out and rent or buy "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken."
Unless you're some kind of a chowderhead.
ELIMIDATE? Don't even get me started.
These Three (1936)
A Different 30's Film
I knew nothing about this movie until it came on at 5:00 am the other morning. I had no idea that it was a William Wyler film. It seemed a little slow in starting and usually if I'm not intrigued in the first 30 minutes, I'll change the channel. But then I became intrigued. Things started happening and all the charters seemed to jell. The screaming and yelling of the children was like chalk on a blackboard at first. Then I understood the brilliance of it, you were supposed to react that way (as we do in real life.) No one likes to hear a child cry. But they do, and that's one of the things that makes this film real. Great acting by the two main child actors (Bonita Granville as the loathed Mary Tilford and Marcia Mae Jones with a breathtaking role as the troubled Rosalie Wells.) ***Possible Spoiler*** It wasn't until bratty Mary was slapped by Mrs. Tilford's maid, (in a small roll, who would soon become an icon as the "Wicked Witch of the West") the fabulous Margaret Hamilton. At that moment I knew I had indeed seen this film as a child, and remember people cheering that slap. Quite a powerful moment that must have made an impression on me. If you're a William Wyler fan, this is a film you should see.
Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck (2002)
Get Over It!
What is with these old folks, wishing for the old days? This Whammy is great! Too bad for these people who have to live in the past. The new Whammy is a very fun show, never saw the first one, and don't care to. The new one is a great show. I think these people should get on with life.
