Band of Robbers (2015)

 Tom and Huck by way of Fargo. At times kind of irritating, but Stephen Lang sure understood the assignment. **

The Day Time Stopped (1980)

 This movie is most interesting when it's stop motion aliens and monsters aren't on screen. A family consisting of an older couple (both has been stars there for name recognition), their younger son, and older married daughter with her husband and young daughter, commence their first weekend in their new desert vacation home, and are quickly overcome with strange phenomena that threaten to rip a hole in reality it's self. Started out okay, but gets very ridiculous and New Agey. *1/2

The Odyssey (2026)

 I was not particularly interested in seeing an 'Odyssey' movie, but I'm always interested in a new Christopher Nolan movie. I saw The Odyssey and I loved it. It's about post traumatic stress syndrome, but it's also about the Death of Western Civilization and how much of that Civilization would you be willing to sacrifice to try and save the whole, and at what point do you go so far that it might not be worth saving and you need to start over. Which makes it about the most topical movie you could possibly make right now. ****

Project Hail Mary (2026)

 A human and an alien scientist must work together to find a cure to a type of infection killing stars. Competently done, but too cute and pat for my taste. **

Tunnel Vision (1976)

 A series of parody skits, supposedly representing a television networks typical broadcast day, within a framing device of a congressional hearing. I like my media satire dry and close to mimicry in style, this movie fulfills that, but it's still a type of material better in small doses. **1/2

Narrow Margin (1990)

 Los Angeles district attorney Gene Hackman must get mob murder witness Ann Archer, across Canada by train, while avoiding multiple hit men. Solid for what it is, would've made a great early 90s Blockbuster rental for my fam, if it wasn't rated R. This is a remake of a 1952 film I haven't seen called 'The Narrow Margin", but is similar in plot to a 1941 film which I have seen called 'Sleepers West'. ***

Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw (1976)

 Former preacher Marjoe Gortner and soon to be Wonder Woman Lynda Carter, cavort around New Mexico and Texas in better then expected crime spree flick, featuring Lynda Carter nudity. **
