untitled johnny knoxville/michael haneke project
(started logging 1/1/21—not including anything watched prior to that)
Starts so energetically, with a real salacious mean streak. Feels like it gets tamer as it all progresses, but still, very fun. Broderick Crawford rules as the sweaty, shifty, ambitious-at-all-costs newspaper editor.
9 Frequently Ignored Signs That Your Amateur Horse Doctor Husband Might Be Telepathic
Fantastic little Hammer chiller. Feels highly indebted to DIABOLIQUE, both in certain plot points and in its frequent stylistic stillness, while managing to be very much its own movie. Strasberg, Lewis, and Todd all shine, especially in their moments of ultimate realization of what exactly has happened. And every film ought to have have Christopher Lee creeping around the margins as a questionable French doctor.
Honestly, this would work better for me without the Leonard Cohen. I’m so sorry!!
