  Haunted Ulster Live 2023

  ★★★ Watched 09 Jan 2025

  Fun Found Footage Flick from Ireland that pays homage to Ghost Watch while being very much its own thing. Still wrapping my mind around the finale, but in a good way!

  New Year's Eve 2011

  ★ Watched 27 Dec 2024

  Good God what a miserable experience. 
  Individually the dozen or so Demi-stories are mediocre and very mixed performance wise, with bad chemistry and no real stakes - but the real horror only settles in when you expect everything to be over and it continues for another HOUR.

  Godspell 1973

  ★★★ Watched 28 Mar 2021

  Victor Gerber is clown Jesus and he and a cute bunch of drama majors do a comedy revue version of the Bible for us. Its all earnest in the extreme, which some may find unsettling if not downright nauseating, but it worked okay for me, a sad.

  The Face Behind the Mask 1941

  ★★★½ Watched 22 Nov 2024

  Lorre starring crime melodrama about a sweet little guy who gets his face burned off and has to turn to crime to support himself. Stylish and better performances in it than its ham fisted story and dialog deserve, its is chiefly worth seeing for the range and empathy Lorre brings to the role.
