I thought it was pretty solid (if slow) for about the first half, but that presumption is built on the expectation that something really really extremely unjust happened which led to the SWAT team surrounding Fonda's apartment. Like, I figured he assassinated a corrupt mayor or blew up a building that the fatcats misappropriated from his designs  :bouncegiggle: or something. Nah, it's nothing remotely that grand - but the screenplay still treats him like he's Tom Joad. Ehhh.

M.10rda - I think I was blinded by the star power and relatively large budget on that one. 4.25 seems much too high, though I can't really remember it now.

Sins of Jezebel (1953) - I highly enjoyed this Swords and Sandals, seemingly repurposed for American Christian audiences technicolor thingy! Tubi's print wasn't that great, but that's the case like 50% of the time so what are you gonna do?

Ahab, the not very inspiring King of Israel, decides to marry Jezebel, a much more confident and also hot (she looks like Betty Page) queen of some other place. One tiny issue: She worships Baal and wants to incorporate Baal stuff into Israel, which goes against their worship only the one God thing. Ahab is so horny and p***y whipped he goes along with it, but the prophet Elijah is like "not so fast, compadre". It's a showdown for the ages.

The story is of course, time tested and I especially enjoyed the horny captain of the guard guy character, who embodies the whole thing of trying and failing to balance patriotism with submission to authority. There's a very occasional minister guy who says stuff and even a tiki lounge Baal dance sequence.

5/5

Every time I hear someone mention St Paul, Minnesota, I find myself thinking about this Johnny Cash song, & find myself blurting out, "And It Tore Me Up Every Time I Heard Her Drawl, Southern Drawl....."

RETURN TO SILENT HILL (2026): A painter's drunken dreams and a mysterious note lead him to the ghost town of Silent Hill where he searches for his lost ex-lover amidst the smoldering ruins and its ghosts. The movie's finely spooky when it just putters about the haunted town, going from monster to monster and jump scare to jump scare, but the conclusion--while logically consistent enough, I suppose--is exceptionally unsatisfying due to underdeveloped backstories. Audience note: there was one other couple with me in the theater. They walked out when the movie had about 15 minutes left. Maybe they had somewhere else to be at 9 PM on a Tuesday, but I'd wager that just shows how uninvolved with the characters they were. 2/5.
