    Third Finger, Left Hand

    ★★

    It seems like some version of this movie came out at least once a month in 1940. This version drags quite a bit for the first hour or so then has some good moments towards the end but I was already bored by that point. All of the actors put in a good effort at least, especially the usually forgettable Lee Bowman.

  • Down Argentine Way

    Down Argentine Way

    ★★★

    Starts off strong with a lot of good musical numbers but peters out a bit in the second half with more focus on the horse racing. Elevates above the fray via beautiful technicolor and a fantastic dance routine from the Nicholas Brothers.

    Everyone involved with this movie went to prison, yes?

    Now Koyaanisqatsi isn’t the only movie I’ve seen that I can’t say the name of.
