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!

Mysterious Doctor Satan (serial) - 1940

I wanted to mark down that I tried to watch this. I didn't make it far, but I did make an attempt.

What I watched was a doctor that didn't seem super mysterious. He was very hands on, and he showed up at all the crime scenes. I'm used to seeing the mastermind being a literal mystery. His identity was a mystery, and he hid out in his lair for the most part. This guy was the opposite. He didn't even have a cool outfit. I mean he had a robot, but that thing was weird.

I had high hopes for Copperhead. He had a hood, and that was it. He left his little animal statues when he fought crime. He just didn't have enough charm in the end to save it for me.

Anyway, the only good thing was a couple of scrum-like fight scenes. It didn't keep my interest at all, and I moved on to try another one.
