Dark Shadows and Beyond - The Jonathan Frid Story (2021)
Only for diehard Frid Fans!
I really wanted to like this more. The segments of Jonathon Frid's pre-Dark Shadows career were lengthy and I found to be quite tedious. Once through those segments, the pace picked up and was quite interesting including the cultural phenomenon that Frid was a part of. Nice to see the interviews of former co-stars and so much from the Dark Shadows era.
The Eyes of Orson Welles (2018)
Soooo Sloooowww
When did it become acceptable for the film maker to become the Star of the documentary? Felt like dog years and only made it through 9 minutes. Ugh.
White Tide: The Legend of Culebra (2018)
Dude! Just tell the story!
The Director thought he was The Coen Brothers...but, isn't. This film suffers from serious lack of editing. Good story with too many film flourishes. So much time spent on superfluous shots - of water, of the daughter at cheerleading, of the housing market bust...all could have been condensed into a nice, tight story. But, no. Too bad, could have been a good story told well in someone else's hands.
