The Irishman was a well made movie, but by all accounts Sheeran had nothing to do with Hoffa's murder or disappearance. Not surprising that a sociopath would attempt to self-aggrandize in his dying days. I do prefer the title of the book upon which the move was based, 'I heard you paint houses.' I never heard the phrase before but, given the context it's most certainly a good thing, lol.
OK, so yes, thanks for reminding me. We did watch the Irishman. It was good. It was better than I expected it to be. I wondered if it'd be a tired reworking of a mafia type gangster movie that Scorsese had already done before. But it had some good character development, interesting situations, kept you interested even over that long of a film. Decent ending. Overall I dunno, maybe 7.5 out of 10
I looked back in my history and after suits we went on a bit of an old horror movie kick. We watched:
Cheerleader Camp. Good. It is likely nearly exactly what you'd expect. From 1988 I believe. Some goofy dudes, some dramatic babes, at a camp for some cheer-leading cheer-off, and add in some type of killer. Lol. Honestly though I was really expecting it to be bad. It had some decent quality, some OK acting here and there, and they kept you guessing. Some well done gore and of course some gratuitous nudity. (Has Teri Weigel in it, porn actress I think before she even started doing porn!) Maybe a 7 out of 10. It was entertaining.
The Black Room. 1982. Another underground kind of horror/thriller. I liked the atmosphere in it. It had that weird dark grimy kind of look to it. It has Linnea Quiguley from Return of the Living Dead fame, and also maybe the youngest Christopher McDonald I've ever seen. Gotta be his first role. Love seeing the amount of famous or semi-famous people that got their start in old horror movies. Very cool, I think. Anyway, yea had some weird atmosphere and takes you on a bit of a ride. Kind of a twist around the end. If you like old horror flicks, then give it a try. I'd say a good 7 out of 10 if not 7.5.
Visiting Hours. 1982. Another old horror/thriller. About a newslady that is vocal about an opinion against some powerful people. She ends up getting attacked in her home, then in the hospital to recover. She starts to learn more about the investigation and things start to not add up. Or is she nuts? Lol. Michael Ironside and William Shatner star. It was good. Not entirely believable in some parts, but what movie truly is. Creative license right? Lol. I enjoyed it though, we both did, for what it is. 7 out of 10 I'd say.
