Welcome to the 968th Edition of my series. I hope everyone is hanging in there in these crazy times. MUCH ADO ABOUT MURDER is now in the books so I move on to A CHRISTMAS CAROL in Anderson where I play the Undertaker. November 15th is my return to ring announcing and the wrestling flyer is near the bottom. I will shut up now and get on with my selections.
Look (2007): Adam Rifkin wrote and directed this film taking a look at "Big Brother" America. This has multiple stories of people who believe they are in privacy but are caught by some sort of surveillance which we do not think much about. Jamie McShane, Spencer Redford, Hayes MacArthur, Nichelle Hines, Ben Weber, Paul Schackman, Chris Williams, Jennifer Fontaine, Giuseppe Andrews, Miles Dougal, Rhys Coiro, Sebastian Feldman, Kimberly Quinn, Heather Hogan, Ryan Cutrona, Valerie Breiman, Tom Hodges, and many others co-star in this film. This is an interesting look at the world of surveillance we live in these days. I suppose it can work to our advantage, and it can hurt us as well. Look close for director John Landis in a cameo. I suppose I'm being watched right now just writing this movie blog.
Booksmart (2019): Olivia Wilde directed this coming-of-age comedy. Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein star as long-time best friends Amy and Molly who are about to graduate high school. They realize they have taken school way too seriously and decide they want to live a little before graduation which leads them on a series of misadventures trying to get to a party. Jessica Williams, Jason Sudeikis, Lisa Kudrow, Will Forte, Victoria Ruesga, Mason Gooding, Skyler Gisondo, Diana Silvers, Molly Gordon, Billie Lourd, Eduardo Franco, Nico Hiraga, Austin Crute, Noah Galvin, and many others co-star in this comedy. This can get a bit raunchy at times and some may not like the way the school staff is portrayed. I felt they were just portrayed as human. I had a lot of laughs at this comedy and the two lead characters are very relatable. Lourd was very amusing in this film as well. This is available to watch on Moviesphere.
Superman (2025): James Gunn directed this latest version of the Superman story. David Corenswet debuts as the Man of Steel in this film where Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, is on the rise more than ever and manages to get the world to turn on Superman. Superman and his allies must do what they can to prove that Lex is the criminal. Rachel Brosnahan co-stars as Lois Lane who must rally whoever she can to help Superman. Alan Tudyk, Bradley Cooper, Grace Chan, Angela Sarafyan, Michael Rooker, Pom Klementieff, Maria Gabriela de Faria, Sara Sampaio, Giovannie Cruz, Bonnie Discepolo, Terence Rosemore, Natasha Halevi, Michael Ian Black, Neva Howell, Pruitt Taylor Vance, Mikaela Hoover, Skyler Gisondo, Frank Grillo, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Michael Rosenbaum, and many others co-star in this superhero film and some provide their voices to the robot characters. There are also some cameos among the DC Universe. This is a really good story that parallels what is going on today and Superman fighting for that better tomorrow. I had never heard of Corenswet before in my life but he was perfect to play Superman. This is available to watch on HBO Max.
The Host (1960): This is my western short for the week which was written and directed by Jack Hill. A young Sid Haig stars as a fugitive gangster who comes to a lonely Spanish shelter. He must kill a few gunmen set settlers free. When he decides to leave, he sees his pony is gone, he must stay or die. Sharon Bercutt co-stars as the Priestess who plays quite a role in this short film. This was a college assignment for Hill and brought in a debuting Haig. This was a start of good careers for both of these guys. This is available to watch on Youtube.
Frankenstein (1931): James Whale directed this horror classic which is based on the novel by Mary Shelley, maybe a little loosely. Colin Clive stars as Dr. Henry Frankenstein who is obsessed with creating a living human from dead parts. With the help of his henchman Fritz, played by Dwight Frye, they manage to create a living creature, played by Boris Karloff. Locals look at the creature as a monster and want to destroy him. Mae Clarke, John Boles, Edward Van Sloan, Frederick Kerr, Lionel Belmore, Marilyn Harris, and many others co-star in this horror classic. This is probably the most iconic version of the Shelley novel. This would also be a breakthrough role for Karloff who is actually billed with a question mark. It's alive everyone!
Girl on the Run (1953): Joseph Lerner directed this Film Noir which was co-wrote by Arthur J. Beckhard and Cedric Worth. Richard Coogan stars as Bill Martin who is wrongly accused of a murder and takes refuge as part of a travelling carnival. Rosemary Pettit co-stars as Bill's girlfriend Janet who stays on his side and also takes refuge in the carnival herself becoming an accessory. Frank Albertson, Harry Bannister, Edith King, Joseph Sullivan, and many others co-star in this film. Look for a young Steve McQueen in a bit role and his first big screen appearance as This is a pretty decent B-movie taking place within the carnival world.
The Illusionist (2006): Neil Burger directed this film which is based on the short story EISENHEIM THE ILLUSIONIST. Edward Norton stars as 19th Century illusionist Eisenheim who reunites with his childhood friend Sophie, played by Jessica Biel, during a magic show. Sophie is now the duchess to the Crown Prince Leopod, played by Rufus Sewell. Sophie starts to have feelings for Eisenheim and she is also in an abusive relationship with the prince. They set out to work the magic for them to be together. Paul Giamatti, Eddie Marsan, Jake Wood, Tom Fisher, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Eleanor Tomlinson, Karl Johnson, Vincent Franklin, Nicholas Blane, and many others co-star in this film. This is essentially a romantic story involving the world of illusions. Norton does great as Eisenheim and learned how to actually do illusions himself to make it more authentic. This came out on the same year as THE PRESTIGE which also deals with illusion. This could make a good double feature.
Boom Town (1940): Jack Conway directed this film which is based on a story by James Edward Grant. Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy star as Big John McMasters and Square John Sand who are friends that become very successful after striking oil. Things get complicated when they both find themselves in love with Betsy Barlett, played by Claudette Colbert. Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan, Lionel Atwill, Chill Wills, Marion Martin, Minna Gombell, Joe Yule, Horace Murphy, Roy Gordon, Richard Lane, and many others co-star in this film. This was very personal for Gable whose father was an oil rigger so he really wanted to play the role. This takes a good look at a relationship through the years. This would be the last of three teamings between Gable and Tracy.
Rolling Thunder (1977): John Flynn directed this story of heartbreak and revenge and is based on a story by Paul Schrader. William Devane stars as returning Vietnam veteran Charles Rane who has a lot of gifts bestowed on him including a lot in the way of silver dollars. A few thugs are aware of this money and commit a home invasion which results in his wife and son being murdered and his own hand being destroyed. With the help of his veteran friend Johnny, played by Tommy Lee Jones, and his girlfriend Linda, played by Linda Haynes, they set out for revenge for what happened. James Best, Dabney Coleman, Lisa Blake Richards, Luke Askew, and many others co-star in this film. Part of this is coming back to the unexpected having been gone so long. Vengeance was just one of the elements of the story of the complicated life of a veteran. This has gone onto be rather underrated and deserves a look. This is available to watch on Prime, TUBI, and Pluto TV
Drop Zone (1994): John Badham directed this action movie. Wesley Snipes stars as federal agent Pete Nessip who is after a group of skydiving crooks lead by former DEA agent Ty Moncrief, played by Gary Busey. To go after the group, he recruits professional skydiver Jessie Crossman, played by Yancy Butler, who instructs him and helps him go after the group. Michael Jeter, Corin Semic, Kyle Secor, Luca Bercovici, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Rex Linn, Grac Zabriskie, Robert Lasardo, Sam Hennings, Claire Stansfield, Mickie Jones, Andy Romano, Rick Zieff, Clark Johnson, Charles Boswell, and many others co-star in this action movie. This is meant for some action and fun, maybe on a rainy day. I suppose skydivers may point out a lot of flaws, but I know nothing about that world so I just accept what I see. This is available to watch on Youtube and can be enjoyed as long as you're not expecting some award-winning film.
Well, that is it for this week but read on for the last week of "My Own Madness". After this, I will be going back to the biweekly format and my next edition is the 20 year anniversary.
MY OWN MADNESS
This is the last week of this series. I was unsure of whether or not the Madness was happening this year so I just decided to start my own. The Madness did happen this year so I just split time between the two. With my recent show, I did not get to do as much as I wanted but that's okay. I might just do this again next year.
__________________________________________
ADAM RIFKIN
Adam is a wild card this week and was one in the past. He was one I only used for one week and saved it for last. Anything listed on his imdb will count this year for My Own Madness.
Detroit Rock City (1999, 95 minutes): Adam directed this movie of four teenagers trying to get to a Kiss concert but running into all kinds of obstacles. I suppose this is my tribute to the recently deceased Ace Frehley.
The Last Movie Star (2017, 94 minutes): Adam directed this movie which stars Burt Reynolds in one of his later roles. Burt plays an aging actor being called to a low-budget film festival where they are awarding him lifetime achievement. This takes a look at faded fame and how you must embrace what you have. This is very underrated in my opinion.
Look (2007, 102 minutes): Adam wrote and directed this film on the world of surveillance. This usually would not count but is a bit scary and counts this year.

Jena is not a wild card this year but I'm glad to includer her.

See You Yesterday (2019, 84 minutes): Michael makes a cameo appearance in this time travel movie. A couple teens invent a time machine in hopes of saving someone wrongfully killed by the police. On the surface, this seems like a comedy but is a lot of racial tension concerning the police and blacks.

Maxine Mink, reprised by Mia Goth, finally gets her big break but others are standing in her way. Kevin Bacon has an interesting role in my opinion. 
Nanny (2022, 99 minutes): Michelle co-stars as Amy whose daughter is being watched by the nanny Aisha. This is more psychological horror.
Source Code (2011, 93 minutes): Michelle co-stars in this sci-fi thriller as Christina who is on an exploding train. Jake Gyllenhaal must figure out who plants the bomb and each time have eight minutes.
__________________________________________
NATHAN FILLION
Nathan is not a wild card this year but he could become one someday.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: End of Days S7, E21 (2003, 42 minutes): Caleb had a stint on this series as the evil priest Caleb who has his final battle with Buffy. I think this was the first time I had really taken note of him.
Superman (2025, 129 minutes): Nathan plays the Green Lantern Guy Gardner which as far as I know is the first portrayal of Gardner in film or tv. Feel free to chime in but he was a lot of fun in the role in this great superhero film.

Paul is a wild card for My Own Madness this year so anything for him counts this year.

Quentin is a wild card this year has been once or twice in the past. Anything from his imdb counts, even if it is just a credit to be thanked.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010, 112 minutes): Quentin gets a thank you credit for this superhero comedy so this is how it counts in My Own Madness.
Swiss Army Man (2016, 97 minutes): Quentin gets a thank you credit in this film which takes the "buddy movie" to a whole new level.

MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD
Mary is not a wild card this year but found a couple selections for her to be a category.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010, 112 minutes, 666). Mary stars as Ramona whose exes Scott must defeat. I believe this should count on account of the powers of some of the exes. Also, there were images of digital creatures assumed to be Kong and Godzilla.
-Ellen Wong was an adult playing a teen.
Swiss Army Man (2016, 97 minutes, 666): Mary co-stars as Sarah in this very bizarre film which takes the "buddy movie" to another level.

MaXXXine (2024, 103 minutes, 666): This is the conclusion of the X trilogy brought to us by Ti West. Michelle co-stars in this entry as Detective Williams.

Source Code (2011, 93 minutes, 666): Michelle co-stars in this sci-fi thriller as Christina who is on an exploding train. Jake Gyllenhaal must figure out who plants the bomb and each time have eight minutes. I think the time elements and explosions should get me some points.
__________________________________________
MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG
Michelle is an RIP wild card this year so anything from her counts.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Forever S5, E17 (2001, 42 minutes, 666 1/2): Dawn tries to bring her mother back from the dead with some help from Spike. I thought this episode had one of the most beautiful moments of the series with Dawn and Buffy consoling one another at the end. This shows Dawn and Buffy dealing differently with the death of their mother to the point Dawn thought Buffy didn't care but came to understand she was handling her grief differently with Buffy finally having that breakdown moment.
-ATB for Michelle
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Grave S6, E22 (2002, 42 minutes, 666): This is the 6th season finale where they are trying to stop the much darker Willow. I thought this was another good moment between Buffy and Dawn where Buffy asks Dawn for her help in fighting some demons.
-ATB for Michelle
