  Music Box 1989

  ★★½ Watched 01 Jun 2023

  Unfortunately, this is very straightforward and very standard until its final quarter or so, when things finally get interesting.

  2.75 stars.

  Suburbia 1983

  ★★½ Watched 31 May 2023

  This was an interesting time capsule, but I really didn't enjoy it, nor did I care about any of the characters. There are a couple of offensive moments and scenes that were especially hard to watch - and the film could've been just fine (and made its points) without them.

  The Last House on the Left 1972

  ½ Rewatched 26 Jan 2014 1

  Sitting through this repulsive movie is like being trapped on a five-hour flight next to a man who picks his butt, eats his boogers, scarfs down Twinkies then vomits all over the seat -- all while playing horrible Hee Haw music on a boombox.

  Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown 1977

  ★★★★ Rewatched 28 Mar 2015

  Some reasons why this film rules:
  1. Woodstock building a chair lift and ski chalet on top of Snoopy
  2. Peppermint Patty asking "Where are the huevos rancheros?"
  3. Schroeder hanging his piano on a clothesline to dry
  4. The sign saying "THIS WAY KID"
  5. Woodstock dancing with himself.
  6. Franklin making the most of the two lines he's given in the whole movie.
