Iowa - The Land That Stuff Forgot
Spies (1928)

Fritz Lang silent about shady goings-on at a bank that's a cover for an international espionage ring. Too long - 2 1/2 hours, including too much romantic fluff - but a workable thriller (it's just neat seeing that genre in a period when it didn't really exist), and a prototype for later efforts by the likes of Hitchcock. The last half hour or so is particularly good.

Marx Brohers - A Night in Casablanca. Not their best, and yet so much better than most of what passes for comedy today. Mr. Smythe: I tell you, that is my wife and you ought to be ashamed! Groucho: If that's your' wife, YOU ought to be ashamed.

Our Town, 1940 ... William Holden as a child star.
Great in places, but what a sell out ending ... I'd forgotten that

Oh, yeah, go see RED if you've got the time

Union City--A modern film noir tale of murder and paranoia set amid the grit of a 1950s industrial city based on the novel by Cornell Woolrich (Rear Window). With Dennis Lipscomb and Deborah Harry with a walk on part by a very young Pat Benatar. Good hats.
