Your Weekend Movie Guide for October 1947

 

So here's what was playing on the Loews theater circuit in NY for Halloween 1947.  Truth be told is they didn't really go the horror route, but I am guessing theaters decked the halls with plenty o'goblins.

These days, our local cinemas are more tricks than treats.  You know the monthly drill, gang.  I'll drift through the movie listings and give you my knee-jerk, gut reaction to what is polluting our neighborhood screens.

With that in mind, the word "boo" has two definitions.

Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour:   For those who didn't want to spend five thousand dollars for a concert ticket.

Killers of the Flower Moon:   The latest from Martin Scorsese and the trailers look grim.  Plus can he make a movie without Robert DeNiro?

The Exorcist - Believer:  Reviewed here the other day.   Much better than I expected.

Paw Patrol - The Mighty Movie:   Curb your cartoon.

Saw X:   Was there Saw I through IX?

Five Nights at Freddy's:  The trailers tell me it's a horror movie.  In more ways than one.

The Creator:   I don't think this is biblical.

A Haunting in Venice:  Reviewed here previously.  You can never go wrong with Agatha Christie.

Dumb Money:  No such thing.

The Nun II:   Does she sing?  Asking for a friend.

The Blind:  Leading the...   

Expendables 4:  Hey, Stallone keeps working.  You gotta give him credit.

Anatomy of a Fall:  A documentary about the Dodgers in October?

The Holdovers:   Paul Giamatti as a college professor babysitting students over Christmas break.  From director Alexander Payne who I once met at a hair salon.

Malibu Horror Story:  Oxymoron.

Nyad:  Annette Bening as the famous swimmer.  Also starring Jodie Foster.

Hayride to Hell:  A farmer goes on a rampage.   With rising grain prices, who can blame him?

Butcher's Crossing:  Nicolas Cage is in the aid, so count on nobody understanding a word he says.

Dinner last night:  Hamburger.
