Ah, the days where a movie opened with such hoopla that you waited on line to see it. Sometimes over and over and over again, as you see above with this vintage movie ad for "Psycho" from 1960.
Sadly, in 2022, nobody is clamoring to go to the movie theater. Most of them are playing in your living room. The motion picture experience is gone, although theaters are trying the best they can. You know the monthly drill, gang. I'll drift through the movie pages of the newspaper and give you my knee jerk reaction to what's on the big screen. And, in some cases, the little screen. If you have to stay home and watch a film on TV, you might as well look for "Psycho."
Lyle, Lyle Crocodile: A crocodile that sings. Most of them just bite.
Amsterdam: Director David O. Russell with a murder mystery and an all star cast...most of them I don't recognize.
Smile: A horror film. Invisalign gone bad.
The Woman King: Viola King leads an army of female warriors. Yet, another diverse uprising.
Don't Worry Darling: A spin on the "Stepford Wives." Harry Styles is in it and I'm one of those rare people who doesn't know who the fuck he is.
Bros: A gay comedy that got a lot of press when the director says its poor box office was due to homophobia. Hey, did you ever think that maybe the movie just plain sucked?
Tar: Cate Blanchette as iconic musician Lydia Tar, whoever the hell she is.
Avatar: A digital remastering of James Cameron's big hit. A movie I didn't like the first time.
The Good House: Sigourney Weaver as a descendent of the Salem Witches. Co-starring Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.
Accident Man - Hitman's Holiday: Way too much for the marquee.
Cat Daddies: Ach-choo.
Halloween Ends: Jamie Lee Curtis is back with this franchise that is longer than the Old Testament.
Old Man: A documentary about Joe Biden from ten years ago?
Emily: As in Bronte. As in.zzzzzz.
Dinner last night: Chicken and apple sausage.
