Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 07:13:22 PMThe Strange Woman (1946) - The title would make you think it was some kind of film noir/ mystery or something, but it's really a sordid historical melodrama. At one point, the woman's drunk father goes "Now, I'm going to give you a beating you WON'T like" and takes out a whip. Another time, her new husband's son comes home from Europe (edit: he's an adult) and she basically makes out with him right there in front of his Dad. This is what I mean by "sordid".
A girl is ruthless and ambitious and grows up to be played by Hedy Lamarr (yes, I know she was some kind of math genius or something) in the then booming port city of Bangor, Maine. She tries to be a high society wife, but it's hard to make friends when all you care about is going through men and achieving status. In the film's dramatic high point, Bangor is overrun by drunken sailors who burn and pillage the town because one of them got their wallet stolen in a seedy bar. She and her various men try to figure out what to do about it, if anything.
The story was colorful and well acted, but nothing amazing. The subtitles were weirdly delayed which was annoying, but I can't fairly blame that on the film itself. Ultimately it's a campy, over the top Lifetime sort of idea with a relatively large budget. I don't know if I have seen a Hedy Lamarr movie before, but she was pretty and well cast.
3.85 /5
It took me three nights to watch, though.

Uhm..... If some guy walked up to you & said he could dig up ancient memories by dropping acid in an isolation tank, would he really have your attention, or would you start backing away???????

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 10:36:11 AMTHE CARPENTER'S SON (2025): The teenage Jesus (never named) is tempted by Satan to use his powers for evil. This "Jesus horror" should be bold and provocative but is in fact overly reverential and afraid to make mistakes, which makes it ultimately quite boring, along with being poorly acted throughout--not even Nic Cage as Joseph can supply much fire. Supposedly based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (which had a lot of cool and strange stories), but not really--in fact, it contradicts that apocryphal gospel more than it does the canonical gospels! 1/5
