The Scary of Sixty-First (2021)
Horror: Two girls who just move into a new apartment start going separate ways. One becomes a sex deviant while the other becomes obsessed with Jeffrey Epstein after learning he once owned the apartment. This one is an artsy film with some "not for everyone" sex scenes. .... 4.0/8

"Beyond Tomorrow" (1940) - 4/8
A simplistic but occasionally engaging Christmas morality tale, with supernatural and theologic themes.
Ona cold snowy Christmas eve, three older NY tycoons play Cupid for two young people who fall for each other and become engaged, but the man falls under the spell of a hussy actress who lures him into her bed. Soon after, the tycoons die in a plane crash. Their ghosts return to the mansion, and they try to intervene and get the young man to return to his true love - but their elderly Russian countess friend is the only one who can sense their presence.
Straight B-movie stock-character casting and script, but it was certainly an interesting plot. Decent SFX considering the production budget. Unfortunately, the final scene wraps up in a 10-second whirlwind, and you're left wondering.
Richard Carlson plays the young handsome man who is a Texas rancher stuck in NY (don't ask). His character's voice is eerily similar to a young John Wayne, - there's also a superficial facial resemblance, although Carlson doesn't have the Duke's squint.

7 Days of Hell (Philippines-2021)
Horror: The son of a policewoman is a victim of black magic. As he suffers she is desperate to find out what is happening to him even if it is believing in something she does not. This one was solid and while there are plenty of films about this subject this one had a bit of a twist that I did not see coming.... 6.0/8

Fate of a Sport (2022)
Lacrosse Documentary.
Lacrosse All Star Paul Rabil (and his brother) start a new league.
This one's pretty raw, and this Rabil dude is a fiery SOB.
Evidently the new league.......................the Premier Lacrosse League is a BIG success.
Anyhow, here's Sports Illustrated Preview/Review from last year.

Scream 6 - 8/10.
Just love the Scream franchise.

The Quiet Girl (2022)…
Nominated for an Oscar in the “Best International Film” category. In limited release in the US (two theaters in Cleveland…I think that’s it for the whole state).
Subtitles…Irish language (also incorrectly called Gaelic)…highest selling Irish language film in the history of Ireland. Set in 1981, a 10-11 year old girl, who is struggling while living in a large, dysfunctional family, is sent to live with an aunt and uncle, blossoms under their care, love and attention.
An excellent “small” movie. Very touching. If you’re looking for something Irish
in the season of St. Patrick, this would be a good choice. Especially if you’re too queasy to handle “Banshees”…

All TCM:
Double Indemnity (1944) Fred McMurray and (especially) Barbara Stanwyck as bad people!?! Second time watching and worth it. 6/8
Casablanca (1942) First time all the way through. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Did I mention Swedish Ingrid Bergman? 7/8
A Man for All Seasons (1966) Paul Scofield, Robert Shaw, Orsen Wells, on and on. Great history. Politics. Imagine that. 7/8 Maybe, 8/8...
When the highly respected British statesman Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield) refuses to pressure the Pope into annulling the marriage of King Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) and his Spanish-born wife, More's clashes with the monarch increase in intensity. A devout Catholic, More stands by his religious principles and moves to leave the royal court. Unfortunately, the King and his loyalists aren't appeased by this, and press forward with grave charges of treason, further testing More's resolve. (Google)
Julius Caesar (1953) James Mason, Louis Calhern, Marlon Brando, on and on. I knew Brutus and his clan killed Caesar, but not the aftermath. 6/8
Brutus (James Mason) is convinced by a scheming band of Roman senators, led by Caius Cassius (John Gielgud), that his dear friend Julius Caesar (Louis Calhern) intends to dissolve the republic and install himself as monarch, and he joins a conspiracy to assassinate him. Brutus stirringly defends his actions, but when Mark Antony (Marlon Brando) responds with a speech that plays upon the crowd's love for their fallen leader, a battle between the two factions is assured. (Google)
Watched late at night so that may have affected my score. That and the abundance of "flowery speech". Used captions to aid understanding.

Just saw Double Indemnity last year for the first time - it's pretty dark for sure. Fortunately, had just got done watching The Apartment, so seeing MacMurray as a bad guy wasn't as much of a shock.

I really enjoyed Scream 4 for the most part. I liked it more than 5
Gotta say though, the main girl really stepped her acting up for VI. I thought she was terrible in Scream 5 but great in this one

Dual (1971) - Probably the best ever made for TV movies and Speilberg's first directorial feature film. Great film. The storyline had to inspire all of the road rage a demonic car/truck movies to come.

I'll definitely watch AMFAS again - if only to pay more attention to More's crafty lawyer-speak. I could have used a pause and replay button to aid comprehension.Some high-falutin' stuff on those last two.

Probably not the same with Julius Caesar. Aided with the captioning, I got the gist of what was being said and going on. Et tu! 
I have to admit I, too, saw McMurray in The Apartment last year (scoring points with the workplace guys, iirc), easing me into the idea of the bad guy Fred.
Fred McMurray night on TCM perhaps.

The Sting (1973)
One of our All Time favorites. Caught it on TCM a couple of days ago.
Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Robert Shaw, Earl Jones, Eileen Brennan, Ray Walston, Charles Durning, Sally Kirkland.
Won the 1974 Academy Award for Best Picture.
***Fun Fact for those who may remember.......................The STREAKER hit the stage as David Niven was preparing to introduce Elizabeth Taylor who was to announce the Best Picture nominees and winner.

Orphan 2: First Kill (2022)
Horror: Prequel to Orphan..... So this was like a "wait a minute, no... wait a minute" ... "oh...ok, I see what is happening here ... now it makes sense...." In the end it was an enjoyable movie if one does not think about it too much.... plus, no woke in this one either which is always a bonus!!!!!!! ..... 5.0/8
