Karate Kid season 5 caught up

Stupidest show ever but pretty good

 

My god it's so terrible I can't stop watching it.

 

Grand Hotel (1932). On OK website. A best picture Oscar winner. Greta Garbo shines but I found the film rather boring until the last 15 minutes. Synopsis: A group of very different individuals staying at a luxurious hotel in Berlin deal with each of their respective dramas.

 

Civil War. Perfect timing with all the craziness at the moment.

 

Cavalcade (1933). Internet Archive. Best picture Oscar winner (plus best director and art direction). Bounces around a a lot - didn't like that, good acting otherwise.
IMDB Synopsis: A portrayal of the triumphs and tragedies of two English families, the upper-crust Marryots and the working-class Bridgeses, from 1899 to 1933.

Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). Internet Archive. Won best picture Oscar. Doesn’t follow actual events accurately, but good acting and non-stop action.
IMDB Synopsis: First mate Fletcher Christian leads a revolt against his sadistic commander, Captain Bligh, in this classic seafaring adventure, based on the real-life 1789 mutiny.

 

The Life of Emile Zola (1937). On OK website. 1938 Best Picture Oscar winner. Good acting but a letdown in that this film was mostly about Zola’s involvement in the Dreyfus Affair. There was no mention of his extramarital affair that produced his only children whom he loved and cared for after the affair terminated.

Uncle Buck (1989). PopTV. That was pretty funny. An 80’s film I missed watching in my early 20’s.

 

Bad Land. Corny entertainment.

 

You Can’t Take It with You (1938). YouTube Movies. Won two Oscars, Best Picture and Best Director. Funny and very entertaining.

Angie Tribeca (2017). Max. Completed S3.

 

SweetTooth Season 3. Not bad. A bit better than the first two seasons so far.

 

Rebecca (1940). Internet Archive. Won an Oscar for Best Picture. Joan Fontain was excellent. IMDB short synopsis: A self-conscious woman juggles adjusting to her new role as an aristocrat's wife and avoiding being intimidated by his first wife's spectral presence.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997). Watch TCM. Good acting and story. Excellent soundtrack with music from 80’s and early 90’s.

 

Grosse Point Blank is hands down my favorite Cusack and Aykroyd movie. Joan Cusack did a pretty good job too.

 

House of the Dragon S-2, Ep7

 

Your Honor. Bryan Cranston delivers again.

 

The Lady Eve (1941). On OK site. Entertaining film with Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda; both in their 30’s but they look so young.

Citizen Kane (1941). Internet Archive. Good acting and directing but found the story line mostly average. I don't understand how the mom could give away her son like that.

 

Discontinued, Prime. Little trip down memory lane for some.

 

Watching E7 of "House of the Dragon" for the 3rd time on MAX.

crazy

 

Meshes of the Afternoon (1943). Raygun. An experimental short film. A good watch.

Loki (2023). Disney. Completed 2nd and final season. Good watch for TVA knowledge, which is a big presence in new Deadpool film.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). AMC Theater. Very entertaining with lots of funny one-liners. I was disappointed in treatment/absence of a key character from previous two Deadpool films. Maybe I just missed a reference to that character. Will definitely rewatch when it becomes available to stream.

 

The olympics on peacock

Those about to die on peacock

Turning point the bomb on Netflix

 

The Big House (1930). OK. Good story line but slow paced. Did win two Oscars, for writing and sound.

I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932). Internet Archive. The most action and my fav of the three. Nominated for three Oscars but won none. Still, a good watch, and based on a true story.

The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936). Plex. Based on Dr Samuel Mudd, the doctor convicted of conspiracy to kill Lincoln. Has misrepresented and omitted facts but good acting and a good watch.
