Well, it's been a long, long LOOONG time since I last watched one of the golden age of Mexico's cinema productions. The only actor I recognized was Adalberto Martinez, a.k.a. "Resortes" ("Springs") , properly nicknamed after his dancing style.

The story revolves around situations in a vicinity, in which Resortes falls in love with a blind girl that lives in the same hood. Resortes is in street situation, working in different jobs and living from the kindness of other neighbors. He and his friend (another actor) decides to gather $300.00 M.X.N in order to pay for a procedure that will bring the girl's sight back.
Fortunately, they happen to accidentally enter a dancing contest in which the couple that lasts more time dancing wins the grand prize of $1000.00 M.X.N
Resorted forces his friend into dressing like a woman in order to enter the contest.
25 hours later, Resortes wins the prize, the girl gets her sight back, and chooses the doctor instead.

Here's all the movie's I've seen since my last post a week or so ago...

Nekromantik (1988) & Der Todesking (1990)

I'll add these together as it accounts for my viewing of half of the "Love & Death - The Jörg Buttgereit Collection" bluray boxset (also watched all the included short films and many many extras).
Can't really get too descriptive with these... I'm just amazed that the Nekromantik films are now available uncut with a BBFC rating (considering how hard it was to get hold of them back when they were made). Plus, the Nekromantik poster is one of the best movie posters ever created.

Touch of Evil (1958)
View attachment 322829
Technically brilliant film from Orson Welles, although the story and pacing is a bit hit and miss. ...and Charlton Heston playing a Mexican is just weird. Worth a watch just for the opening 'one shot' camera work.

Prey (2022)
View attachment 322830
I have to disagree with the above comments - imo, this is the best of the Predator sequels. And in terms of the pistol; it's a direct link to the pistol at the end of Predator 2, not the story in the comics that used the same jumping off point... so, making it a legit cannon prequel in terms of the movie continuity.
Also, really refreshing to see a somewhat major franchise not shoehorn in any 'forced diversity'; all the cast was ethnically appropriate (probably because it's only okay to 'force diversity' if you're replacing white people).

The Gray Man

Enjoyable action romp. Pretty much what I expected from the Russo brothers and the cast involved.

Nope (2022)
View attachment 322831
Again, I have to disagree with @Alexander1970 - I kind of enjoyed it... it's certainly a better film than Jordan Peele's previous film, "Us", but not as good as "Get Out".

I'm sure I watched something else this week too, but I'm blanking right now.
I was disappointed with nope maybe I misunderstood review I watched but review I watched said woman in end took cowboy statue had it fall on alien before it attacked her I was disappointed Alien it self is ship it self that was different but big let down for suspense in nope

Once more I subject myself to a netflix original, in this case first time director (though long time stunt guy) and first time writer with cowriter being army of the dead and John wick... 3.
Actually just a really solid mindless vampire hunting film. Haven't seen a good vampire film in years (though do have to go back and finish the Van Helsing TV show as https://www.youtube.com/c/coganLollins/videos made it seem like I stopped about when it started getting really good) and this pretty much delivered. Would recommend if you are after a mindless vampire hunting film with some cheesy action/stunts and veteran actors chewing some scenery/hamming it up. If you are after the more pondering the nature of existence vampire or out and out horror against superior foes then steer clear, though I will say the lore was solid and I would interested to hear more.
