MI. Wasn't crazy about it, and it proved my instinct prescient.

Was hoping to still catch The Phoenician Affair

 

["MysteryMan"]

 

[Foxbat]

We watched the 50th Anniversary showing of "Jaws" last night. Mrs. Foxbat had never seen the whole movie start to finish. It still holds up after all these years. And she jumped at the right times, too!

"We're going to need a bigger boat"

She binged the Jurassic Park movies all weekend, (we were caught up) probably hit the theater for the new one sometime this weekend. (haven't been to the theater in a couple years at least)

Watched Escape From New York last night. Recently acquired 4K disk from one of Amazon's many sales. Looked and sounded great. Fun flick I hadn't seen in years.

Might move on to L.A. tonight.

 

["MysteryMan"]

I remember seeing that on TV as a kid and thinking what a fun and silly romp. Mama Foxbat had the Ian Fleming book "Casino Royale" on the bookshelf so I thought I would read it. I peaked at the last page and saw that it was NOTHING like the movie I knew.

That's because Charles K. Fieldman, the movie's producer acquired the film rights to Casino Royale in 1960. He made an attempt with EON producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to have it made with their franchise, but an agreement was never made. He then decided to make it as a Bond spoof and had the story rewritten.

How did the Special Effects hold up to the 4K treatment?

Wasn't too bad for that era.

I watched "The Intern" a few weeks back ... it was pretty good.

I didn't know that it was an old movie (not really old 2015) brought back ... I guess it did OK originally, but it was brought on Netflix this time and doing much better.

Enjoyed Long Distance on Hulu. A movie made during the pandemic iirc, simple man wakes early from cryo because their big ship crashed on a desolate planet' movie starting Anthony Ramos (Hamilton, Ironheart).

If you like that premise, id give it a go, and skip the trailer, which as usual reveals a bit much imo.

 

[osu1991]

Legend of the Lost (1957) with John Wayne and Sophia Loren

American ne'er-do-well Joe January is hired to take Paul Bonnard on an expedition into the desert in search of treasure.


Had never heard of this one. Was pretty good.
