Extremely good movie set in a suitable fake 1950s setting with street thugs and non-denominational subcultural people. With the lady who plays Mandy in Mandy (2018), and a nice little role for DEMI MOORE. It's fun and imaginative and romantic and spooky and mysterious and funny, the performances are high keyed but it doesn't feel campy or sarcastic-- it's incredible. Fans of Scorpio Rising and West Side Story will definitely want to check this out. I loved it and felt effervescent watching. EFFERVESCENT!

more fun than the Jessica Lange one, and maybe because it was less smart and less willfully campy, it felt more innocent. Like the 70s Kong is racist, but the 30s Kong has racism. Kong himself looks great, if a little goofy, and all the dinosaurs on the island look wonderful. The part where Kong fights at T Rex is superb-- because they can't really do jumping with the stop motion animation, it's a real and surprisingly engaging grapple.

The Dunwich Horror 1970
pretty decent Lovecraft movie, with Dean Stockwell as a sort of fey lothario with a very occasional fire behind his eyes.

I thought this movie did a pretty good job not showing the creature, and there's some great psychedelic effects when someone is trying to behold the…

John Wick 2014
John Wick looks like your cool friend's hot friend's grouchy boyfriend. She's cracking jokes and scream-laughing at the soiree with her arts non-profit / library degree pals. He has tattoos and a cool old car and that's about it. "hey, what's up man, how's it going?" "sup." "how's it going?" "huh?". He was straight edge then became an alcoholic at age 21 and now he's drinking O'Doul's and watching the game with the sound off while everyone else is playing…
