What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Impact - 1949

I watched this one a few times. It's been a bit since I've seen it, but I wanted to put down what happens so I can log that I've watched it.

Walter Williams is a rich man who thinks he has it all. Little does he know his wife is conspiring to kill him. Fortunately, the accomplice botches the job and ends up killing himself. Everyone thinks Walter is dead, but now he knows his wife wants him dead. So he heads into the country and starts his life anew.

After a while, he learns his wife is being charged with his murder. The small town where he lives finds out who he is, and the woman he's staying with convinces him it's the right thing to do to come forward. Well, that ends up backfiring when the police charge him with the murder of the wife's lover.

I don't know why I like this movie. It isn't really that great, and the way they solve the mystery is a bit too convenient. For all that, I will still give it a Good Movie! review. I don't mind using it as one of the movies I can put on when I am doing other things.
