Nightwatch (1997)

Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026)

The Criminal Code (1931)

The Outfit (1973)

Stay Away, Joe (1968)

 Elvis Pressly plays a Navajo Lothario, in this low plot comedy in which multiple actors, including Elvis and Burgess Meredith, sport red-face. Story threads include Elvis's sister trying to make a mixed race engagement work, and Elvis trying to get a lethargic bull to mate with his father's government subsidized cattle heard. The film ends with the collapse of a tenement house played for laughs. This might be Elvis's worst movie, extremely bad. *

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)

 Clint Eastwood directed crime-drama, adapted from John Berendt's 1994 "non fiction novel", inspired by a 1980's Savannah, Georgia murder trial. Scanning through reviews I read someone comment that Eastwood directed this movie 'as a tourist would'. I think that is true, but I also think it is to the movies benefit. That this decent murder plot is filtered through a reading of Savannah as Mecca for eccentrics, is what makes it memorable and fun to watch. A remarkably queer friendly for the 90's, let alone Clint Eastwood. ***1/2

Zulu (1964)

A 30 year old Micheal Cain gets an "Introducing" credit, in this middle tier epoch about the 1879 'Battle of Rorke's Drift', in which a small detachment of Welsh solders, some army corp of engineers, and hospital patients successfully held a Swedish mission station from thousands of attacking Zulu's. A little slow, but for the most part pretty involving. A very early 60's take on 19th century British imperialism, they don't make them like this anymore. ***
