Good Movies / Re: Film endings that made you...
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 07:49:19 PMThe last 10 minutes of the STRANGER THINGS finale had us misting up last night. (Actually the last 30 were pretty good.) This was a real feat, as we endured the previous 8-ish hours of Season 5 in a state of mild exasperation and impatience. That show peaked in S3, got real bad in spots of S4, and was pretty much tiresome for the entirety of the final season... then somehow it delivered the emotional goods right at the end. Too little too late, perhaps - but we'll always have Scoops Ahoy @ the Starcourt Mall.

The 2nd of the 3 "Ginger" sexploitation movies starring Cheri Caffaro and directed by her husband Don Schain. GINGER (1971) and GIRLS ARE MADE FOR LOVING (1973) are the others.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 01:48:41 PMMURDER! (1930):
I figured I might as well start the new year off Basic - and (pumpkin spice lattes notwithstanding) you can't get more basic than an early Alfred Hitchcock film called "MURDER!" That's like David Lynch's first film being titled WEIRD! or Tarkovski's debut being titled SLOW! or Tarantino's premiere being titled PASTICHE! or Russ Meyer breaking out with a movie titled BOOBS! Turns out this isn't even Hitchcock's first film - he'd made at least a dozen features by 1930, including at least two other thrillers and one other talky. Thus I oughtn't be surprised that MURDER! is... pretty advanced for a film from 1930!
Besides the long, static, stagy takes that one expects from early sound features, Hitch also incorporates a lot of CU cut-ins (sometimes even frivolously, just to prove he can?) and a ton of montage... suggesting he was paying attention to the silent Russian guys in the previous decade. There's a lot of humor as would sometimes later be the case in his films, but instead of just being situational, some of Hitch's compositions and staging even predict the formal playfulness of a Wes Anderson picture (!), particularly early on. The first 40 minutes or so are the strongest, stylistically and narratively. A dazed young woman is found seated next to a bludgeoned victim, the murder weapon at her feet. She claims to remember nothing of the crime, and generally acts like such a flake that quickly she's on trial for Murder("!"). Hitch takes us into the deliberation room and for a while it seems like MURDER! will be a proto-TWELVE ANGRY MEN. But then the focus shifts again...
I like how MURDER! keeps shaking up viewer expectations, but when it finally settles into being a post-conviction amateur investigation, it becomes rather less interesting, though still pretty well-directed. There are some goofy aspects to the plot revelations: the wrongly convicted "murderess" acted like a flake because she'd endured a blow to the head, which no one bothered to ascertain; the ambivalent juror who later seeks to clear the accused's name had a previous professional and social relationship with her (which shouldn't happen in an American court, but maybe they don't care about that kind of thing in the UK!); and the real murderer's motivation was to cover up uhhh... something that even the most uptight conservative wouldn't bother murdering to cover up in 2025. But that was the early 20th century for ya', I guess.
3/5 Pretty good as Hitchcock goes.
The actress who plays the accused is quite lovely and charming, in spite of her head injury - a brunette instead of Hitchcock's routine frosty blonde - but she has the same odd last name as her character ("Baring"), which is uhhh....... ahh who knows.
