  Awaara 1951

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 23 Nov 2023

  The greatest dream ever committed to film, no contest.

  And by that I mean Nargis.

  Surf Nazis Must Die 1987

  ★★★½ Watched 22 Nov 2023

  Sure, the script is weak, the acting is mostly crummy, and there isn’t enough violence to keep it interesting until the finale but there are several really striking shots, the soundtrack totally rips, and there are some solid waves. Great use of the industrial Southern California beach scene as a stand-in for post-apocalyptic hellscape as well.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Certainly the only story whose happy ending is predicated on staying in Missouri.
