Frogman.

Found footage movie, in which a small time film maker, who had filmed an urban legend monster, the Frogman, when he was a child, wants to prove he had been telling the truth. He, his ex girlfriend, and his friend/cameraman, search out the creature. What they find goes beyond proving the existence of a cryptid.

'Salem's Lot.

Third movie adaption of the Stephen King book. Despite the hype around the production, it's hardly the best. The best adaption is probably Tobe Hooper's 1979 adaption, and that's setting the bar low.

Inside Down 2 (2024) on Disney+

Puberty is introduced, with new emotions. Anxiety drove me nuts, so it must have been a good film.

At the end, all of the emotions give Riley a hug to help her feel better. That's what Mr. Rogers does for us when we cannot.

I like that with puberty, Riley gets a zit on her chin.

To think it started with this.

Or 1974, before Pixar.

Then, in 1943 - 1943 John & James Whitney Five Film Exercises Film 1 (analog computers, too much YouTube compression)

Then today (2024), Inside Out 2 | Official Trailer

I would like to go on, but the post would get move to the Computers, Math, Science, and Technology forum.
So many creative people, engineers, and programmers.

Society.

A teen, who had been adopted into a wealthy family, seems to have a great life ahead of him as he's a star high school athlete ahead in the race for student body president, and has been accepted into a prestigious college. Except, he can't shake the feeling there's something not right, when he discovers he's only being groomed for a horrific rite of the rich, who turn out to be an inhuman species that eat the poor... literally!
While the movie itself might not have aged well since it's production in the eighties, the climax remains wonderfully ghoulish!

I think the story holds up well though.

Annie Get Your Gun (1950) -- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042200/

Betty Hutton absolutely dazzles as Annie Oakley, and co-stars Howard Keel.

The movie wouldn't pass the PC tests of today, but it is still a lot of fun.

Sky High.

My wife's birthday present. She loves goofy superhero movies, and this definitely fit the bill!

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) on Netflix

The son of the family has cancer. They move to Connecticut so they can be closure to the hospital for his experimental treatment. They rent a house and he starts seeing creepy things.

I was looking for something dark, moody, and mysterious, something gothic, but found a movie with anxiety. Anxiety is a type of scary by some. It could have been dark and moody, but the incidental music went for anxiety. It was okay.

Other comments. I was wondering "Who is that woman? I've seen her before." It was Amanda Crew and I remembered her from Silicon Valley. Martin Donovan was in it too, playing Amanda's dad. I did not know his name. I only knew he played the DEA agent in the series Weeds. (Seems like a nice guy, but isn't.)

Last comment. I'm looking through the list of films brought up from the search haunted and think "That looks good. What's it about?" I bring up the description and can see from the thumbs up indicator that I've already watched it.

Friday The 13th.

The original... I don't think "classic" is the right word. Rather, the original that spawned an endless franchise. I was in the mood, as it is Halloween season!

'Salem's Lot.

The Tobe Hooper 1979 made for TV movie. Not great, but preferable to the two remakes.

Just watched "Lord of War" starring Nicholas Cage. I seen clips over a friend's house years ago but never saw the whole thing. It's a good movie with a relevant message.

Pumpkin Head.

A grieving father in Appalachia makes a horrifying choice for vengeance after his young son is killed in a drunken motorcycle accident. Great, heartfelt monster movie.

Way Out West (1937)

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy

Made by Hal Roach Studios.
It just occurred to me, after 55 years, how much Hal Roach films from the 1930s were still like silent films. That is not a criticism.
