I watched just 4 movies last week:

- If Little Caesar feels a little dated, to the point almost of parody, that’s largely because Edward G. Robinson so strongly created the template for future gangster movies.
- Jamie Lee Curtis, who stars in Virus called the movie “the all time piece of shit.” Trust her on this.
- Technically a television miniseries, split into two parts, World on a Wire is every inch a 1970s German television production, and if it’s science fictional ideas seem a little familiar now, it’s only because so many later movies have lifted them, or borrowed from the same influences.
- First Men in the Moon is very silly, but also surprisingly delightful and fun.
Finally, I rewatched The Bat, with #HorrorWatch on Bluesky. I thought the same thing as I did back in November when I watched it for the first time: it’s a little silly, a little oddly convoluted, but the cast, including Vincent Price, are a lot of fun.
