What Was That Film? / 80s or 90s movie, couple stays...
Last post by JJWX - Today at 08:50:24 AM
Saw this on VHS or cable many years ago.  A couple stay with a dangerous psycho family, the adult children behave like young children.  The son is chastised for playing on dangerous swings (i swear it was Michael J Pollard, but evidently not), and the adult daughter shows off her baby, which is a doll.

SCROOGED (1988)

I'm blaming my work already piping in xmas hits all day for putting me in 'the mood' to watch a xmas film. Except I'm not in 'the mood' at all... bit like Bill Murray in this film.

This film operates entirely in its own world of (non) logic. reminded me a bit in spirit of PEEWEE'S BIG ADVENTURE and HUDSON HAWK, but is not as heartwarming as the former, or creatively manic as the latter.

some really really weirdly horrifying scenes unfold here. not a family film.

ultimately got a bit too OTT shouty and full on, but I did at least make it about 2/3rds of the way in.

According to AI:

Due to its immense weight, a T-Rex could not run in the way we typically think of it. Its top speed was likely a fast walk of about 3 mph, or around 5 km/h, making it more of a power-walker than a sprinter.

A normal, untrained human can run at an average speed of up to/about 9 km/h.

So, a human could most likely outrun a T-Rex.

"Ocean's Eleven" (1960)
Hustler Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra) recruits the members of his old Army unit for an ambitious New Year's Eve heist in Las Vegas, where they will rob five of the biggest casinos on the Strip at the same time. The job goes off without a hitch but just when the gang thinks they're in the clear, unexpected complications threaten the entire operation.
This classic "Rat Pack" caper flick is a total time capsule of retro coolness, with an amazing cast (Frank, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Angie Dickinson, Cesar Romero, and on & on) and vintage Vegas locations. George Clooney's 21st century remake turned "Ocean's" into a legit franchise that spawned several sequels, with a new one reportedly in the works.

Phantom Killer (1942) - There's no phantom killer, unless you accept the idea that anytime you don't know who the killer is, it's a phantom killer. William Beaudine rolls out another cheapie where everyone seems like they're drunk making bad jokes across the whole movie. A wealthy deaf-mute business man is accused of murder. Could this unlikely suspect have done it? Is he actually deaf and/ or mute? Too bad Mike Brady wasn't there to do his famous briefcase toss to make the guy react so they could find out.

I almost turned it off because it was so stupid, but I was sick of half watching things.

3/5 ten years earlier would have been the proper era for this sort of thing. Scooby Doo level mystery
