Anna and the King (1999) (Chow yun-fat, Jodie Foster)

I was young when this movie came out, but now I see it was a cool movie.

Countdown (2019) ★★
Half-baked.

Doctor Sleep ★★★★
I enjoyed this more than The Shining (1980).

Live Fast, Die Young (1958) — A teenage girl runs away from home and falls in with the wrong crowd, including Mike Connors and Troy Donahue, and her older sister tries to track her down.

Mondo Teeno: The Teenage Rebellion (1967) — A black and white mondo documentary on the youth culture of the Sixties around the world. This one just showed up on YouTube only four days ago.

For the past 30 years or so, I've been using the list of 265 "Favorite Films" in Re/Search #10: Incredibly Strange Films as a checklist of must-see movies.

Two more down, only eleven to go. Four of these are available as $7.99 downloads from Something Weird Video.

Since the Mandy Moore concert that was originally supposed to take place in San Francisco tonight has been postponed until a yet undetermined date, I popped a couple of DVDs into my player to fill the void:

Saved! (2004) — Mandy Moore plays my favorite of her acting roles as Hilary Faye, the holier-than-thou queen bee at a Christian high school. Macaulay Culkin is also brilliant as her cynical, paraplegic brother.

Tangled (2010) — Mandy Moore is the voice of a long-haired Disney Princess who is forced to shelter in place in a very tall tower.

Battle of Demons 3 (華鬼 三部作〜響×桃子編) (2009) — It's a high school drama, but the guys at at Kigasato High School are demons and the girls have been marked since birth to be their brides, and jealousies and machinations can have lethal consequences. Some actress named Kago Ai plays the lead role of Tosazuka Momoko, a low-level and purportedly "ugly" demon bride who has been dumped by her prospective mate.

The Peanut Butter Solution (1985) — In this bizarre children's fantasy-adventure from Canada, a kid sees something in a burned-out, haunted house that makes his hair fall out. He mixes up a peanut butter concoction to grow it back — and his best friend also uses some to grow hair "down there". The hair grows fast and long, and it won't stop....

Fun fact: The two songs on the soundtrack were the first English-language recordings by a 17-year-old Québécoise singer named Céline Dion. Here's the scene featuring one of them:

Two very different takes on the story of Báthory Erzsébet (1560–1614), a Hungarian countess who reputedly tortured and murdered hundreds of young girls and bathed in their blood to retain her youth:

Countess Dracula (1970), starring Ingrid Pitt.
The Countess (2009), starring and directed by Julie Delpy.

Just Mercy

It's a free movie this month on youtube for rent this month. It's a really powerful movie and I encourage everyone to watch it.

Deathgasm (2015) — A couple of high school metalheads find some medieval sheet music that unleashes demons on their small New Zealand town. Lots of gory fun!

WE ARE LITTLE ZOMBIES (2019) — Four recently orphaned 13-year-olds meet and form a band, accompanied by a cool soundtrack and crazy weirdness of the sort that the Japanese do best. Bonus points for a mention of the Shaggs and a cameo by CHAI!
