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!

The Ghost Walks - 1934

Technically, the next movie in the list had an ape in it, so we skipped it for this one.

Some yahoo has written a horror play, and he decides the best way to expose an investor to it is to hire actors to carry out Act I before his very eyes! The problem comes when someone really "dies," and the investor won't believe the play is off. Now, people are disappearing, and a crazy man is loose in the house.

This movie was better than most of the others ones we'd seen lately. The comedy was tolerable if you ignore the investor's secretary. Mr. Woods was my favorite, and I was ready for him to shoot someone. The woman, as usual, was dumber than a box of rocks. If someone disappears from my closet, there's no way I'm going to stay in that room by myself. That's just dumb.

Anyway, this one gets a Good Movie! review. It's probably the best thing I've seen in a while, and that's just a sad commentary on my viewing choices lately.
