"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975)
Recently-engaged innocents Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) have car trouble on a dark n' stormy night and find themselves trapped at the castle of Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry) and his crew of outer-space transvestites. Hilarity ensues.
This film version of Richard O' Brien's horror/comedy spoof stage musical went on to become the ultimate cult classic midnight movie that still plays every weekend somewhere in the world. Long may it's freak flag fly, and R.I.P. Mr. Curry.

So many losses in such a short period of time.  He voiced many iconic characters that I grew up with.

R.I.P. Peter Cullen

Good Movies / Coyote vs Acme (2026)

I was able to catch an early showing of this movie and I'm really glad I did. This was a surprisingly good movie.

You may have heard the story behind it. It was filmed, but the WB decided to not release it in order to right it off as a tax break. Until another distributer pick it up to release after massive fan response wanted it shown.

The story goes into a few interesting directions. Some of which actually feel like a reflection of what would go on in a world where cartoons and humans co-habituate.

For the most part the animation works.  A lot of the main characters look good and there's plenty of call backs to the original shorts. There are a few that don't work. Foghorn Leghorne is a partially noticeable as a cell-shaded CGI model instead of a cartoon.

I also though all the actors did a good job. Will Forte and John Cena for me are very hit or miss. Cena, especially because he's one of those actors I can't see as someone other than himself. But I liked him here.

I highly recommend seeing this film.

Zodiac (2007) - I somehow didn't know about this or that David Fincher directed it. The first thing you notice is the real lack of Hollywood glamour. It's like he was making it for A and E or even PBS. There's even Wikipedia ish scenes where they make sure the audience gets certain facts "Here it is Christmas 1970 and we just got the second Zodiac letter. It sure is a crazy world." etc.

The Zodiac killer is loose in early 70's California and cops are having a hard time figuring out who he is. He does the thing where he writes taunting letters to the newspaper and sends them weird codes to decipher, but always stays a step ahead, somehow. Robert Downey Jr, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Chloe Sevigny are among the cops/ newspaper people whose lives would come to be defined by the whole thing.

Again, it's basically a 2 (and a half) parter A and E season opener, but where it's all re enactment and no talking heads or voiceover. 

5/5 I'll be watching something a little more lively next, but I can't deny the formal integrity on display.
