Wuthering Heights (2026) **

It's entertaining but the soundtrack is overbearing at times and the lighting and shot selection is terrible, as are so many current films, but it has a nice collage of images at the finale that works well. The casting is strange and it's interesting that Edgar (Shazad Latif) would appear to more closely resemble the features of Heathcliff per the novel than Elordi.

Heat Lightning (1934) **

The two female leads are the attraction in this desert noir. Nifty direction at the climax evokes kaidan films.

The Woman in Green (1945) **

Fairly forgettable Holmes flick watchable for the top cast members.

The Time Travelers (1964) **

Intriguing classic Trek style sci-fi flick could have used a bit more moolah for the spfx, but the cast are all game and the script keeps things fairly straight. Interesting ending.

Light Sleeper (1992) **

Answers the question nobody asked: what if Paul Schrader had directed Taxi Driver? Top notch cast keeps it watchable. Nice soundtrack too.

Gentlemen Don't Eat Poets (1995) *

I think it was supposed to be more of a comedy but not sure that would have helped. Terribly shot, cut and directed. Waste of a good cast.

Peter Hujar's Day (2025) *

Technical prowess of the two leads aside, the premise has already been done and this go round brings nothing more to the table.
