It was yesterday, I haven't watched anything today. I was too horrified at what I was watching to fall asleep.

Saw Outside the Wall a while back. Produced by Universal (1950), it features Richard Basehart, Marilyn Maxwell, Signe Hasso, Dorothy Hart, and Henry Morgan. Basehart portrays a recently released prisoner who wants to go straight by working at a convalescence hospital, but is motivated by nurse Maxwell into making more money, the easy way. He gets involved with a patient who is actually a criminal on the run, and who has hidden the $1,000,000 that he got in an armored car heist. The latter's ex-wife and her boyfriend also want to know where the stolen loot is, so they use Basehart for that purpose. When Basehart realizes that Maxwell's taken him for a chump, and that nurse Hart is actually the one for him, he tries to make a clean break with the hood, his ex-wife, and her boyfriend, but finds that it's not that easy (surprise). Pretty good B, but Basehart was better in Tension, released a year earlier.

Hmmm, "Gatoroid". Sounds like a case of hemorrhoids caused by drinking too much Gatorade.

Lady for a Day (1933) dir. Frank Capra and starring William Warren, Jean Parker, Ned Sparks, and a host of others. Fantasy fulfillment of Depression-era America: seller of apples gets to float through tuxedo-ed penthouse high society. If you haven't seen it, keep a box of tissues handy, just in case.

Pacific Rim, with Missus and Youngest Hood. It's part Gojira, part Gorgo, part Gigantor, with some Blade Runner added in. Great fun~

Mel Gibson has a dork-knob in Lethal Weapon 3; man the early nineties were bad. They must've been competing with the eighties and seventies.

Turbo
Just saw Turbo this morning. Surprisingly fast-moving for a story about a snail. A lot of action and slap stick comedy with an undersnail, er, underdog theme. I recommend it.

Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo. Oh wow! I didn't see it but I remember the trailers on tv. I can still hear the voice over reciting the title!

Red River (1948) starring John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, and Walter Brennan. I like a good western now and then, but I don't consider myself a fan of the genre in general. That said, I really enjoyed it. It has pretty much everything you want in a classic western--a cattle drive (with obligatory stampede), cowpoke's "trash talking" each other, a wisecracking cook running the chuck wagon, gunfights, arguments, camaraderie, a band of American Indians attacking circled wagons for no apparent reason, a young man proving his worth to his mentor, a bit of a love story. I was a little surprised to see Wayne play a character who's not particularly likeable, but his performance did catch director John Ford's attention, allegedly causing Ford to comment, "I never knew the big son of a ***** could act." What's not to like?
That was the movie that caused John Ford to cast The Duke as Frank 'Spig' Wead in The Wings of Eagles. Probably Wayne's most complex character !
