Beyond Atlantis 1973
And I Only Am Escaped To Tell Thee…
MST3K rating ***
There’s some good and very few great moments but overall this season is a shaggy dog. The writing, concept, technical execution and performances are largely disappointing and if this were my first intro to MST3K I wouldn’t be into it at all. But I stick with it like Linus in the pumpkin patch coz I know, or hope, that my slowly diminishing faith will be rewarded.
So I was… -

The only good idea in this movie was killing off the annoyingly unfunny Howard Busgang first and early. -

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery 1997
Not my pick for tonite’s family movie, so a discreetly begrudging rewatch for me, a rewatch and partial nap for my missus and I suppose a somewhat enjoyable passage of time for the teenager.
Tempted to lower the rating overall if it weren’t for the Dr and Scott Evil scenes which were still so very good. -

And I Only Am Escaped To Tell Thee…
The trailer looked far more intriguing, passionate, moody and stylish than the plodding, monotone, unpleasant nonsense that the missus and I ended up sitting through tonight.
Admittedly my hopes were further raised by the following promotional tagline:
“Wuthering Heights directed by Alfred Hitchcock”
Alas, it’s nothing like that at all.
Dreary, dull and frustratingly static.
Disappointment city! -
West Side Story 2021
Rewatched it tonight, this time with my missus.
And I still sobbed my eyes out at “Somewhere” -
West Side Story 2021
For the first 20ish minutes I was unable to objectively 'enjoy' this reboot.
Each shot, each scene, each performance was being questioned and compared against the original film or at least my fuzzy recollection of it.
I was in high school the very first time I watched Robert Wise's 1961 "West Side Story". It had surprisingly been recommended by my best friend when we discussed musicals after I said I didn't like them. He said this was the only one…
