The mood for this week includes

The Music Box, the classic Laurel and Hardy short about carrying a piano up a steep hill, again and again and again.
The Money Pit, a young couple’s dream home project spirals out of control.
The Long, Long, Trailer, a young couple pulling everything they own behind them, learning a lot in the process.

The house lights are raised in the theater this week due to the blowing-stuff-up holiday. Enjoy the explosions.

Yesterday’s Movies goes to the… wait a minute…

I find myself without the time to review a movie because of some movie-making business coming up suddenly, so here is a selection of reviews about movies about movie-making:

The Cameraman, a Buster Keaton slapstick spectacle
After The Fox, Peter Sellers scams a small European town by making a movie with them.
Bowfinger, Steve Martin scams Eddie Murphy into making his movie with him.
Lost in La Mancha, a movie about failing to make a movie.
This Film Is Not Yet Rated, a movie about the movie industry’s failure to rate itself fairly.

Holiday leftovers

Put together a refrigerator turkey sandwich with some Yesterday’s Movies seasonal favorites.

Nobody makes Thanksgiving movies like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. It doesn’t happen.
Die Hard is popular any time of year, but especially this month.
The World Is Not Enough is even more perennial.
If you can find Fitzwilly, you should see Fitzwilly.
I’m not in a rush to see White Christmas because Holiday Inn was good as it was.
Give One Magic Christmas another chance.

Regular reviews resume next week.

Under the weather

I’m sick in a sleepy and achy way that clashes with critical thought, so I have to put this project aside this week and rest.

I just learned today that the comic relief boffin sidekick from Spider-Man: Homecoming, Jacob Batalon, was also the comic relief boffin sidekick in Rooster Teeth’s horror pastiche Blood Fest, less a lot of hair. I knew he looked familiar from something.

Life comes at you fast.

Unexpectedly busy this week, caught without a post.

I recently came across Stephen Fry and the Gutenberg Press, and I think it’s fascinating, if that’s something you’re interested in.

Nothing to see here

There will be no review this week due to unforeseen circumstances.

You should go see Black Panther or A Wrinkle In Time if you haven’t yet.
