Dishonored Lady (1947)
Hedy Lamarr is an ICON
Besides her star presence she "dabbled" in science. Creating frequency, traffic light and flavored bubbly innovations. On par with Liz on marriages, with six Hedy spent the last three plus decades only with professional partners. Look up her accomplishments, I won't diatribe here. She is one of the most glamorous of the glamour era. This hits all of the things you want from Hedy, a woman beyond her time, unabashedly independent as reflected in her character. Unabashed turns to great shame brought partly along by a misogynistic psychiatrist. Besides that this film ages well and seems progressive in its antagonists. Underrated star, underrated performance.
C.H.U.D. (1984)
CHUD doesn't take it self too seriously and neither should you.
Super fun camp thriller. A subterranean monster is attacking drunks and the homeless underground. The cops want to look the other way until the Sheriff's wife goes missing and he reaches out to an old associate. "The Reverend" (Daniel Stern) runs a soup kitchen for the underground inhabitants. He knows something is a miss as 12 of his patrons have gone missing recently. Somehow photographer (John Heard) is invested...we don't really know why other than he saw something once. I like that Merv (Stern) and Kevin's dad (Heard) costar in this, and that's basically it for their careers. That's so 80/90s as is this movie. Could have used major edits.
