I watched some interesting movies lately.

"Nefarious" - Prime and Tubi. This is a rather intellectual film, with dialogue that is cleverly written. The "bad guy" does a good job of switching between his two personalities. Is he really a demon, as he claims, or is he just acting?

"The Area 51 Incident" - Prime and Tubi. This is anything but intellectual. It's a sometimes laugh-out-loud sci-fi/horror movie. This Area 51 is in England. I bet you didn't know there was such a thing. 😋 The "experts" open a wormhole, and aliens invade. They immediately begin eating the population. It borrows ideas from other sci-fi movies. Light, amusing entertainment.

"The Wraith" - Prime, Roku, Tubi, and PLEX. This is from 1986, with a young (21) Charlie Sheen. It features Nick Cassavetes as the bad guy. Remember John Cassavetes, actor and director? This is his son. The film takes place in AZ with crazy road racing "kids" as the main plot, but there is also a supernatural touch to it, hence the title. If you like to see cars driving fast on two-lane desert roads, you might get a kick out of this one.

If you think I spend all day watching TV, that's not quite accurate. I begin late in the day, and I have the TV on as I'm doing other things. I also make good use of FastForward (FF).

If you haven't watched "And So It Goes" with Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton it is worth watching. Somehow my wife and I missed it when it came out in 2014 but we both enjoyed it a couple of nights ago.

Thanks. I'll take a look. It's on my list.

"The Game" also with Michael Douglas, is good.

Saw "Nefarious" when it first came out ... at movie theater. What a powerful movie! And some great acting by the star! Word is that the Devil (the REAL Lucifer) tried his darnedest to prevent the movie from being made.

Ha! Like a mere Devil could defeat the Hollywood moguls! 🤣

I would never take an assignment like that psychiatrist had.

I can't stomach Diane Keaton. I guess I'll have to pass.

In one I watched last night, it showed town signs for Long Island, not far from where I used to live.

There are certain actors I avoid, but Diane isn't one of them.

I avoid any flick with Hanoi Jane. Unforgivable.

Same here. I would have watched 80 for Brady but didn't because of her.

Forty years ago, my boss chartered his plane to Hanoi Jane to fly from Utah to California. I'd have told her to hitch-hike.

Or take her own broom.

The love the Wraith! I actually have it on DVD. A lot of young actors in that movie.

The hair and clothing in old films are nice to see. I remember those days.
