Silk Stockings (1957)
Pretty Good, Not Great
Caught this movie today on Turner Classic. First of all, if you're going to watch it, you've got to get yourself in the right frame of mind. Movies made in the 50s look different and move more slowly than we're used to. Even taking that into consideration, Silk Stockings is not one of the best of its type. Fred Astaire is always worth a watch and the story moves along, so enjoy it if you have the time. But if you miss it, you probably won't...miss it.
30 Miles from Nowhere (2018)
Surprisingly Good for a Low Budget Indie Horror Flick
I'm not sure what's going on with all the haters among these user reviews, but this is a pretty darn good movie. It's an independent film, surely low budget, without a major studio behind it. It looks like it was filmed entirely on location (and maybe only two locations at that). So, no, guys, you're not going to have the editing and cinematography of a Titanic.
What you do have is an engaging story that's well acted and hangs together throughout. There are some good scares and some big laughs. I did not see the ending coming and I really think anyone claiming they did is either lying or lucky. The best part of this movie, though, is the gradual development of the characters and the relationships they had (and have) with each other -- and how this affects the plot. That's an impressive feat in a relatively short thriller movie.
This movie holds your interest and it's fun. It easily rates 9/10 on an indie film scale. If you've got ten bucks and ninety minutes to spare, it will be time and money well spent. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!

True Romance (1993)
Phenomenal Movie
This is an absolute classic. It's an amazing cast, including some who became big stars after this movie (eg, Brad Pitt). Even a quarter century later, I hear quotes from this movie all the time. Some of the scenes are so good, you can watch them on their own.
A great story, brilliantly acted and well-directed. Do not miss this one!
The Accountant (2016)
Fine Way to Spend a Couple Hours
Predictable. Fun. An enjoyable way to spend a couple hours. Affleck does a nice job with the lead character...better than I would have expected with the half accountant/half-Rambo personality.
Go ahead and watch it; it's a fine way to burn a couple hours.
