BUS STOP

THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL

Looking forward to SPARTACUS. THE BOSTON STRANGLER is an interesting film, though there have been serious doubts about the guy's guilt in recent years.

Jones and Judd certainly make DOUBLE JEOPARDY worth watching, but I wonder if the screenwriters really understood what double jeopardy means. (Going to go into some SPOILERS here). The fact that the no-good hubby faked his death and framed her for it does not mean she gets a free pass to go out and kill him and escape prosecution just because she was falsely convicted the first time. Two completely different scenarios. In real life she certainly would have been arrested (though a judge and jury might go easy on her considering the husband did screw her badly). I mean say, what if she had been wrongly convicted of robbing a convenience store, then once she got out she just decided to rob the place out of spite? Again, it would be two different situations there. Still, I think Jones and Judd made a great team. But the filmmakers really needed to do their homework on what this particular legal term means.

I certainly won't miss this movie, one of my favorites, and one of, if not the, Kirk's best roles and of course he's backed up with a great supporting cast...Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton and Peter Ustinov and what a joy to watch them interact with each other.

1324 I don't know if I've seen yet. I definitely haven't seen 1321. 1322, 1328 and 1330 I enjoy the most from this selection. 1325 I like well enough. The rest are hit and miss for me.

I really like SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF! Garner's characters had a way of charming you regardless of how unscrupulous they could have been.

Actually, I think both actors make the film worth watching, along with the lead performance by Lon Chaney, Jr. as the tormented title character.

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY has been a childhood favorite of mine since I was five. I loved it then and I still love it now. All the child actors were great ( particularly Julie Dawn Cole, who played the insufferably bratty Veruca Salt). Interestingly this was both the film debut and film finale of Peter Ostrum, who decided stardom just wasn't for him, and went back to living a regular childhood.

Seen all except 1319 and 1320. 1311 and 1316 are the highlights of the bunch for me. The rest not so much, but still pretty good films.
