I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 was decent and other movie thought

I Know What Did Last Summer (2025) is decent. I am not sure if I will re-watch it.  It was nice to see Freddy Prince Jr on screen again, I thought he shifted to voice over work. The movie hints at a sequel that might not happen. I think Karate Kid Legends is better than this film. To be fair I liked Karate Kid Legends but still think the movie has a few issues.

No one has brought up, at least no one I have seen, mentioned Indecent Proposal when talking about Robert Redford’s films. That was a big hit but it seems to be a bit forgotten. If it got a 25th or 30th anniversary Blu-ray, I didn’t hear about it.

I am not an expert on Redford’s filmography. I don’t know of any hidden gems in his filmography to recommend. I liked Barefoot in the Park but I haven’t seen it in ages.

Halloween IV is coming back to theaters in October. That should be nice. I might go see it. Halloween IV is one of my favorite horror movies.

Wanted Man was good

 I finally watched Wanted Man. I think I bought last year. Why I did not watch it before now is something I don’t know. This is a Dolph Lundgren movie about a cop who goes to Mexico to bring back some witnesses. The cop had been caught on video calling a suspect a Mexican lowlife. I think the idea was to get the cop out of town for a few days, let things blow over. Things go wrong and the cop and a surviving witness have get to America. For a while the cop and the witness hide out with her family. There are some nice moments during this time It was good. It is not action packed. There are some action scenes. I like Lundgren as a star and I am not the harshest critic of his movies. He might have directed this one.  Kelsey Grammar was in the film. It has been a while since I have seen him in anything other than Fraiser except for a brief cameo. Yeah, he is one of the villains. This is a direct to video action movie. Don't expect Mission Impossible level stunts.

Woman of the Hour is decent, maybe more than decent

 Anna Kendrick stars in this movie and directs it. It is based on a real life story about a serial killer on the dating game. Kendrick is good as always. Her character is a struggling actor who goes on the Dating Game to get seen. She has a friendly neighbor who might want be more than a friend.  The movie has flashbacks but not too many. I am anti-flashback but I think this movie worked with flashbacks.  It is interesting. I am not sure how true to life it is. Daniel Zovato plays the serial killer. (I know the ability to research people in the 70s was not what it is now but how did he pass a background check?) I don’t think I have seen him in anything. He can seem charming but can go to creepy quickly. The Dating Game scenes are fun.  Maybe some things here are fictionalized. I liked this section but I have some doubts the way this went down is true to life. This is not bad for a first time director. With her background, I would have expected her to make a romantic ...

Who’s Harry Crumb is not John Candy’s best film but I liked it

Who’s Harry Crumb stared John Candy as an inept private detective investigating a kidnapping. Of course Harry thinks he is a great detective. (That is the source of the comedy.) His father and grandfather were great detectives. He is assisted by the kidnapped girl’s sister Nicki (Shawnee Smith). They have a good chemistry. I liked John Candy but this is a trifle. I probably should not have bought it but I did. (At least it was reasonably priced.) There was a brief bit where Harry disguises himself as an Indian American (not Native American). I don’t think it was really mean-spirited but it would not go over well today. I guess this might be considered Candy’s attempt to create an inspector Clouseau type character.
