Lady in White (1988)

This post may be "deja vu" because I've seen this movie many times, usually half way into it, very rarely from the start.

First, IMDB's description

Dark Ride (2006) on https://tubitv.com/movies/371066/dark-ride

Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986)
I am not the intended audience for this movie.
Who is the intended audience?
Someone around 18 to 24 year old with the emotional maturity of a fourteen year old. Or possibly someone that has smoked a lot of weed.
(contains an actual spoiler)

Man Behind The Sun.

Story of the infamous Japanese Squadron 731 during WW2, which had committed unspeakable atrocities as medical experiments on mostly Chinese civilians. Much of this is seen through the eyes of Japanese youth corp members who were taught to see the prisoners as subhuman. Worse, the doctor in charge avoided war crimes charges, which he very much was guilty of, when he cut a deal with the US military and government.
Truly horrific and almost unwatchable for the graphic retelling of crimes against humanity, because it's all true.

The Beguiled, 1971, for Memorial Day. Quite an interesting movie. Clint Eastwood as a Union soldier who is wounded and then nursed to health by a bunch of southern females, who all fall madly in love with him. Worth a watch.

The Day the Earth Blew Up

I'm glad this movie was saved.

Captain America: Brave New World.

Captain America - - formerly the Falcon, and a new Falcon, retrieve adamantium stolen from Japan, at the behest of former - now President - Thunderbolt Ross. But things have all been set into motion by an almost forgotten villain from Marvel movies past in order to have revenge on Ross for a broken promise.
First rate Marvel movie!

Ghost Writer (1989)
streamed from Tubi TV

Ghost Writer is about a movie star who dies in 1962 from an apparent suicide, but the view knows it was MURDER. Fast forward to 1989 and Angela Reid, a magazine writer, moves to her aunt's half-sister's beach house when her landlord is bringing building where she lives up to code. The house is haunted. She is not scary. She is a bit ditzy and wants Angela to help her find out what happened.

Despite sounding like it might be suspenseful dark drama, this move is nothing approaching that. I'm trying to figure out who the intended audience was for this movie. It is a light hearted fun film. The audience might be young teens, but then there is a striptease scene. Even that has this aura of silly fun. It was evidently a direct to video movie. Rated 'PG'

Animal House.
Good time!

Last night I watched:

Chosen Survivors [1974]
<=>"1,758 Feet Underground, ^{>½ km}
<=>"1,75A Perfect World Programmed For Man's Survival,
<=>"1,758 Feet Underground, A Perfect World Programmed ForExcept For..."



Movie appears to have been low budget. But is tolerable.

Note to self: When constructing an underground nuclear war survival facility,
Note to self: make sure it is not interconnected to a cavern full of vampire bats.
Note to self: Wait a second!! Were Trump and Musk involved in the planning?!

Monsters of California (2022)
streamed on Tubi TV

Fear Street Part One: 1994

Event Horizon.

Still one of the greatest horror/sci-fi movies ever made.

Fistful of Dollars
A masterpiece.
