I remember seeing The Uninvited years ago ... would love to see it again. Not too long ago, I came across a DVD with Cat People and Curse of the Cat People (the Val Lewton versions). I'd seen both before, but was glad to watch them again.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've seen This Property Is Condemned when it showed back on AMC in the long ago times. It's beautifully shot and Mississippi is so lush. Natalie is very good in it, and at the peak of her beauty.
It's one of Mary Badham's only credits aside from Mockingbird, though she did also appear in the very last episode of The Twilight Zone ("The Bewitchin' Pool").

for those who might be interested, the trailer for The Witches (from the Roald Dahl story of that name).

Oh! I forgot to mention last week that my next-door neighbor and I streamed Antebellum. It turned out not to be what I expected, but very good nonetheless. Likely surprising no one, Janelle Monáe is extremely good in the lead role.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I played the girl in the one act when I was in high school. Great play.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Where did you see it, Fred? I've always meant to watch it -- I like Natalie Wood and Robert Redford together.
I recorded it from TCM. They showed it last month in their tribute to Natalie Wood.

NYFF Virtual Cinema report:
As you may recall, I got tix for Nomadland, La Nuit des rois/Night of the Kings, and Undine, the latter of which finally came available last night. I'm sorry to say that, while I loved Paula Beer (as always), for me, Undine did not live up to Phoenix or Transit. Still, it has a great atmosphere and performances, so if you have a higher tolerance for magical realism than I do (which almost anyone does) you might just love it.
The other two were absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend them highly enough. Along with First Cow, my favorites of the year so far. As someone who wanted to like The Rider more than I did, I was glad to see Chloe Zhao hit it out of the park with Nomadland. I can't imagine it not being up for multiple Oscars. In a just world La Nuit des rois also would be, but we'll see. It is the Cote d'Ivoire's submission for Best International feature and it is all about storytelling so I would think it would get a nomination at least.

While I’m probably not gonna watch it, I’m a little surprised that it took this long for Freaky Friday the 13th to get made.
