trail through the woods

Movie #2611: The Impossible Kid (1982, Eddie Nicart)

They say this is the very best Philippine midget secret agent picture (star Weng Weng made a bunch of them). I gotta admit it is rather goofy. But, maybe my tolerance for goofy is running low. A midget secret agent with a plot that must have been written by 6 year olds might be funny for a few minutes but 90 minutes of this stuff can give you a migraine.

Movie rewatch: Mr Smith Goes To Washington (1939, Frank Capra)

One of the greats. I had forgotten that Mr Smith (like Mr Deeds) was prone to violence. Otherwise, pretty much 100% classic.

Walk km 18,255-18,260: Utrecht

Movie #2610: Shadows Unseen (1972, Camillo Bazzoni)

A movie on YouTube that isn't a western! Italian police procedural. Well made. Enjoyable. The Italian title was the more apropos Abuse Of Power.

Day #22,989

Movie #2609: Joe Dakota (1957, Richard Bartlett)

Much better plotting than your usual run-of-the-mill western. Man, there's a lot of westerns on YouTube. There must have been tens of thousands of these things made in Hollywood. No wonder the USA has such a gun culture. The whole nation was brought up watching men walk around with 6-shooters on their hip.

Day #22,987-988

Walk km 18,252-18,255: changing cities

Movie #2607: The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared (2013,Felix Herngren)
Movie #2608: Magic In The Moonlight (2014, Woody Allen)
Two airplane movies. Neither really enjoyable given where I was when watching them. The Woody Allen is quite interesting because Woody's not getting any younger and this one is about the afterlife. Does he punk out? Watch and see. The other one is a comedy and would have been much better without all those people walking up and down the aisle and the stewardesses always bringing me stuff. Also, the teeny tiny screen (with the wrong aspect ratio) didn't help.
