  The Trap 1959

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Mar 2023

  Richard Widmark and Tina Louise have to transport mob boss Lee J Cobb through a gauntlet of his compatriots on a lonely California road. Very tense.

  Warlock 1959

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2023

  A little plodding at times but overall a very good Revisionist Western. Henry Fonda plays a very grey area character that seems a precursor to his role in ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. I could watch Richard Widmark read a recipe for brownies.

  Black Christmas 1974

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Dec 2022 3

  I've never been a huge slasher film fan but I started watching very early ones, ones that the giants of the genre often cite as their influences and one thing rings true...

  This might be the best horror film I've ever seen. Almost everything is suggested and left to your imagination but when it decides to show the gore, it goes all in. The killer's voice and mannerisms are one of the most unsettling things…

  Cop Land 1997

  Not only an awesome movie, this is Stallone’s finest acting performance, imo. Even more so than ROCKY
