Here’s a classic update for Halloween 2022 (movies from before 1990). More (somehow) to come (October ain’t done with me yet). 1920 – The Golem: How He Came Into the World – a pretty impressive German silent about a rabbi … Continue reading
I didn’t see this one coming. A suspense/thriller bordering on slasher film set in the world of country/western music? You know… that old chestnut. How many times do we have to watch a movie where aspiring country stars meet their … Continue reading
