  Joyride 1977

  ★★★ Watched 22 May 2023

  Script is a little spotty in places, but the cast is solid and it is a great looking film. Solid songs and music by ELO. Would have been more effective if it didn't cop out, at the end.

  Writer/Director Chuck Russell was the Production Manager.

  Get Out 2017

  HooptoberX 2/34

  Perfect execution, great cast, effective score and true scares, tempered by wonderfully dark humor. It always feels fresh and continues to not age, sadly.

  What Jordan did for generations to come is unmatched in this century.

  Once Upon a Time in the West 1968

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 04 Dec 2023

  A league of its own. Peerless camera work. Flawless editing. Inspired casting. Some guy made some music for it, too. The yardstick for opening title sequences.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Dear 1968:

  We made a film that has the following:

  -Female protagonist.
  -Whoops! Now an African-American protagonist.
  -It is in black & white.
  -It's all in one night! All in one one house!
  -We wait forever to even kind of tell you what's going on
  -People eat other people! You even get to see it!
  -Women die!
  -Kids die!
  -Kids kill their folks!
  -Brothers kill sisters!
  -Wait, everyone dies!
  -Whatever was happening has no conclusion!

  Please enjoy our film,

  George A.…
