    The Quatermass Xperiment

    ★★★

    Pretty average 50s sci fi b-movie that has a lot of horror and mystery to it. The acting and effects are pretty good, but the story definitely leans heavily into the “fi” of sci-fi.

    Man, the 90s were weird!!

    Phil Hartman is great in this though. And James Earl Jones!

    Destination Tokyo

    ★★★

    Wartime propaganda film, whose footage has been reused numerous times in other b&w submarine movies. But this one is the OG!

    It’s heavily laden with feel-good moments (as it was produced with help from the Navy to drum up support for the war). As such there’s tons of stock footage interwoven through, especially the Doolittle raid sequence (which was a cool tie-in).

    There’s not much conflict besides the crew vs the Japanese, and the crew shrugs off plenty of depth…
