  Sister Act 1992

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Sep 2024

  Joyful comedy with Whoopi Goldberg delivering a knockout performance as Deloris Van Cartier, a struggling lounge singer put into witness protection in a convent. 
  Fun, fish-out-of-water scenario delivers lots of laughs, great musical numbers and the ever reliable Dame Maggie Smith as the Mother Superior Yin to Whoopi’s Yang.

  Play Misty for Me 1971

  ★★★ Watched 29 Jun 2024

  One of the original Obsessed Stalker films sees the ever-amazing Jessica Walter stalk local radio DJ Clint Eastwood. 
  A good slow build thriller with great performances from all involved. The story handbrakes a little in the third act with a series of musical moments, interrupting the great build and momentum that had been established over the course of the film.

While Kyle MacLachlan is there to receive lap dances that become more and more disturbing as the movie carries on. And Gina Ravera demonstrates why you should never meet your celebrity crushes.
