Post-Christmas Movie Stop run: coolness
How to Deal 4/10
Last time I got $0.99 discs at Movie Stop, the ones so worn the labels are unreadable, I made out like a bandit (Best of Abbot & Costello disc 1, and Charade). This certainly beat my expectations, but it would not have been worth it paying much more for.
Devil in the Flesh 6/10 overall, but 8/10 if you've got buddies over, and it's late
So-so script, full of cliches. But, good acting, and great directing and editing. Good movie to chill out with, and maybe share a pizza over, yelling at the characters like they could hear you.
White Zombie 8/10
Not even mildly suspenseful, by today's standards, but it spurred me to get a Bela Lugosi box set

. It is entertaining, and if you like old movies, or want to see some of the beginnings of modern horror and suspense, take a peek here!
The Dreamers 1/10
1 for good acting. As a rule, book adaptations suck, and this is no exception. If it were done as a 10 minute short, it might not have been so bad; but, as a full length movie, it's crap. It is made like it was designed to have explication essays written about it by students forced to watch it, not to be enjoyed.
