  The American Friend 1977

  ★★★★ Watched by Steven Casey 13 Apr 2020

  Germany in the 70s on film, like New York City, holds a certain decrepit charm for me. Although its economy was booming there is still a grayish, dull hue. The skies seem always overcast, the ground slick with mist and rain and there's the sense of a very long post-war hangover. You'll occasionally see a very old medieval or Gothic building next to an empty lot where rubble has been removed next to brutalist architecture. Wim Wenders captures the port…

  Night of the Demon 1957

  ★★★★ Watched by Steven Casey 22 Sep 2020 3

  In ancient times,
  Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
  Lived a strange race of people...the Druids
  No one knows who they were, or, what they was doin'
  But their legacy remains
  Hewn...into the living rock, of Stone'enge!

  “Stonehenge” (Tuffnell, St. Hubbins) *

  “Maybe it's better not to know.”

  Or more correctly, better not to see. The creature that is. Night Of The Demon aka Curse Of The Demon has so much talent involved. The great noir director Jacques…

  Graveyard Shift 1990

  ★★★ Rewatched by Steven Casey 24 Jul 2021

  Having just got back from a trip to Maine, Stephen King's Graveyard Shift hit the spot, watched from a VHS bought from a great Portland record store- Strange Maine. One of the few King adaptations set AND filmed in Maine, it has a lot of integrity for a dumb, schlocky movie about killer rats. It's also filmed in real textile mills, one shuttered and one that was working at the time. It's great on atmosphere and local flavor, has Brad…

  Silver Bullet 1985

  ★★★ Watched by Steven Casey 22 Jul 2021

  Oh, to have an uncle like Uncle Red (Gary Busey). He'll get you fireworks when the Fourth of July is cancelled due to werewolf murders. He'll soup up your electric wheelchair with a souped-up internal combustion engine that does over 50 mph. And he'll stay up with you and your sister to trap the werewolf so as to shoot it....with the silver bullet he helped you forge. Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-hawlways is doing stuff like that. Not a bad King adaptation…

  FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY: A BOND-A-THON

  Bond, James Bond: The Official Letterboxd Ranking
  ---

  “Not based on a true story...”

  “Be a good girl and put her on automatic. We could do with a couple of glasses.”

  Well I don't know if I'm feeling sad over waving goodbye to the best James Bond, yes Sir Roger Moore IS James Bond in my estimation, or if this Bond-A-THON is weakening my critical eye but I had a ball with A View…
