  House of Usher 1960

  ★★★★ Rewatched 15 Mar 2025

  The first film in the Corman-Poe cycle—you can see how it sets up a template of sorts for the following seven films that Corman always riffs on, making each film its own unique take.

  Heretic 2024

  ★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Not only doesn’t stick the landing, but gets compound fractures in both legs—quite the routine when it’s in the air, however….

  Mary Ryan, Detective 1949

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Feb 2025 1

  The idiot next to me thought this was a screwball comedy and it was totally noir plus there was a turkey farmer fence, so awesome. In an alternate time stream, there was a whole series of Mary Ryan crime flicks and Indicator just released a Columbia Noir box set. I want to live in that reality.
