THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK - Code Red's print looks like it lost a cage match but it's watchable and still nice to have on dvd. Even after multiple viewings this still manages to creep me out at times. A very unusual role for Naschy, he's a real bastard here and doesn't get bare chested with one of the babes.
MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW - An amazingly moving film, wow this really hit me hard. An elderly couple lose their home to the bank and get shunted around between their children, none of whom are willing to have them inconvenience their lives. A final scene that will shatter you...just about the saddest thing I've ever seen. The Criterion dvd has a great converation with Peter Bogdanovich where he talks about having lunch with Orson Welles and asking him if he had seen this, Welles said "oh my god, that's the saddest movie ever made. It would make a stone cry." From the mid-30s but still sadly very relevant. Leo McCarey's favorite of his films and I would agree but it's just tough to watch.
