I highly enjoyed this movie. Dunst has never been better, and all of the cast shined. And yeah, that short scene with Plemons was sinister as bloody hell. I enjoyed the whole atmosphere, the sound effects and the whole cinematography.

I totally see the the likeness of Apocalypse Now, and the Conrad novel which it was built on, since this travel really feels like going to the "heart of darkness", in order to get the President's comments on this war.

The critisism that this is somehow apolitical, especially in times like this is a critique I've read way before watching the movie. As a Scandinavian/non American I totally understand that POV, and how that would've been a missing point. However, for me it was completely clear that this US President would be totally unwanted by most democratic Western countries. Kinda like during 2016- and up till now.. (I want him in jail, even though it wont happen lol). Hence the more subtle "not-on-the-nose" angle suited me fine.

I have a slight nitpick:

It seemed like all of a sudden the President's army had suddenly fallen. Maybe it's just me, but it felt like: Yahooo, we're going to invade the White House now!


IMHO the strength of this movie is what happens to humans, and how they tend to behave in a truly severe potential catastrophy (a civil war is the worse case scenario ever). And Garland delieverd that in spades IMHO.

The money shot photograph the young girl managed to take in the end, in which we see the proud soldiers smiling around a couple of corps tells it alls IMHO.

FRANTIC ( 1988)


I missed this one back in 1988, but I can be excused given that I was an 8 or 9 year old watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit in the theaters , a dozen times instead .

It's a really good Hitchcockian thriller and I'd say among the best in Harrison Ford's canon of films.

THE FACTS OF LIFE : SEVEN LITTLE INDIANS ( 1987)




I remember seeing this episode when it first aired , and it's an interesting time capsule in that it's a send up of The Twilight Zone and the then current slasher/ horror films of the 1980s.

It features a pre- stardom George Clooney , and even has Blair referencing using a " cellular phone" ,in a time when most of us were still using touch tone and rotary phones.


It was also probably my first exposure to anything having to due with The Twilight Zone, which I wouldn't go to get into until I was in Junior High .

Slave Girls (aka Prehistoric Women)

One of Hammer's 'Babes in Buckskin' movies (reusing sets and costumes from Raquel Welch's One Million Years B.C. which was made the year before). No real star power in this one (top of the cast is Martine Beswick - who did quite a bit for Hammer but is probably best known as one of the two fighting gypsy girls in From Russia with Love four years earlier). I know 1967 was a long time ago, but it's really depressing seeing how many of the girls are no longer with us Anyway, hardly great cinema but passes the time. 5/10
