I didn’t post anything about the last eleven movies I watched. I thought about doing eleven separate posts, but that sounds hard, so here comes Movie Lightning Round<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death Race 2000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Exactly how I remember the year 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers for Miss Bishop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a Wonderful Life,” except without any life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stalker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three hours of guys wandering through fields, and it’s great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steamboat Bill, Jr.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mickey Mouse wasn’t in this at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Genius<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My crush on Michelle Meyrink continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moonage Daydream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure how something can have both too much Bowie and not enough Bowie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Moon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apparently the after-party for the premiere of Oklahoma! was the source of huge chunks of pop culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hail, Caesar!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any movie that stops the action for a five minute gay sailor musical number is all right with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan (1924)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t really need Peter Pan to have a tacked-on “AMERICA IS THE BEST” subplot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belle of the Yukon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Movie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A completely by-the-numbers musical western with zero memorable songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Powder Dry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gee, I wonder if the two women who can’t stand each other will grudgingly find mutual respect and then become friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these were watched for my Walk of Fame project so I’ll end up posting about them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…and seriously: the not-musical Hail, Caesar! had a better musical number than anything in Belle of the Yukon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
