Little Man Tate (1991)
Damon's Folly
I don't mind this Jodie Foster (who I like a lot) double duty outing at all even though it can tend to be rather pedestrian. However, the character of Damon nearly took me out of it all in the early stages. Why do so many movies like this see the need to have an annoying bullying supercilious brat like this? Otherwise well acted and directed. Miss Foster and Miss Weiss are two I will always watch and here they don't disappoint. Thankfully Adam Hann-Byrd as Fred Tate is not cloying at all. So many movies can have extremely annoying kid characters that suck any life out of a film. This one did not go down that path.
Catalina Caper (1967)
It's a "teen" beach boogie flick
Just what can you say about a flick with s bunch of pier boogie hopping mid twenties teens getting involved in mystery? Just sit back and let it run. Sure it's not ever going to get the Criterion treatment but I rather enjoyed having it on in the background. Just some harmless fun with lots of eye candy no matter what your persuasion be!
The Pirate (1948)
Mr. Kelly annoys!
Even though there is much to enjoy in this movie, I just find Gene Kelly incredibly annoying; which in turn pushes Judy into her more shrill territory. Is that blasphemous? It is however interesting to see Gladys Cooper in a more comical role. Still pretty much a pleasure though.
