Cinema Smear: Action movies
http://cinemasmear.blogspot.com/2015/04/action-movies.html
Saturday, April 18, 2015. So, I had watched the Soviet "western", White Sun of the Desert. A while back. It was an action film set in the 1920s. Made in 1969. The bonus material on the DVD included interviews with the two writers who wrote the script. One of them noted that the movie was hugely popular with the Soviet public, but not with people in the film industry who noted that the action scenes were all done through montage rather than stunts and continuous action.

Cinema Smear: Sister (L'Enfant d'en haut)
http://cinemasmear.blogspot.com/2015/05/sister-lenfant-den-haut.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. Sister (L'Enfant d'en haut). Watched a movie called Sister. Switzerland, 2012). A 12-year-old boy lives in an apartment with his older sister. The boy supports them both by stealing from the wealthy tourists at a luxury ski resort. He refurbishes stolen skis and sells them. It was hard for me to watch. Two young people with a vaguely tragic past, a lousy present and no future, cut off from any support from family. It made me think of Midnight Cowboy. Posted by Waldo Scott.

Cinema Smear: Gregory Walcott on Bonanza
http://cinemasmear.blogspot.com/2015/05/gregory-walcott-on-bonanza.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. Gregory Walcott on Bonanza. Watched Plan 9 From Outer Space. S Gregory Walcott in a 1960 episode of Bonanza. This was the first season of Bonanza. I'm a little surprised they had color TV back then. The episode is public domain and something possessed me to watch it on Roku. After the sheriff is killed, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe are in charge for some reason and are intent on carrying out the execution. Pretty sick really. Posted by Waldo Scott.

Cinema Smear: August 2014
http://cinemasmear.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. Wicked Blood- -Little Miss Sunshine meets southern degenerate drug dealers. 18-year-old Abigail Breslin ( Little Miss Sunshine. Stars in this thriller about a girl in an extended family of meth addicts, meth "cooks" and meth dealers. Filmed in Louisiana. Rather violent. It was pretty good. Looks like it had a very limited theatrical release and then went straight to video. Sort of a southern rural Fresh. Posted by Waldo Scott. Links to this post. Jon Jost, streaming video.

Cinema Smear: Dustin Diamond on trial
http://cinemasmear.blogspot.com/2015/05/dustin-diamond-on-trial.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Dustin Diamond on trial. Dustin Diamond when he was younger and better-looking. So, it seems that, sometime before he stabbed a man in a bar, Dustin Diamond threatened to murder another patron because he refused to "chug" a bottle of Smirnoff Ice. This was something calling "Icing"- -it had been a fad among frat boys for a short time about five years ago. You've been iced. Get on your knees and drink this," Diamond said. Diamond has made death threats before. In jail while awaiting...

Cinema Smear: June 2014
http://cinemasmear.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. Shia LaBeouf arrested again. I know it's wrong, but I hate Shia LaBeouf. I don't mind that he disrupted a performance of Cabaret, but he attacked a homeless man and tried to steal his property. I hope the guy press charges and sues him. The Disney kids all end up this way. I don't know if it's worse for the boys or the girls. Posted by Waldo Scott. Links to this post. Saturday, June 21, 2014. Posted by Waldo Scott.
