What Else I Saw in November 2024 (Part 1)--6 Mini Movie Reviews

[@hyperzzzzz1]

I really appreciate how well spoken you are. Thank you.

[@Weiselberry]

Thank *you*!

The director of On Dangerous Ground, Nicholas Ray, is one of my favorites. He felt ill during the shoot and Ida Lupino directed while he was gone. Lupino is another director you’ve mentioned, The Hitchhiker, for example, but she directed many very good films. The Bigamist is another worth seeing. As for Herrmann’s score for ODG, he was so impressed with the solo violinist, he wanted to give her screen credit, but the studio said it was against Academy rules to give a player a solo credit, so he had her name added to his credit. One of the best crime films of its era with a marvelous Robert Ryan.

Ida Lupino is the Queen!

Glad you gave Someone's Watching Me! a chance. I remember watching it on network TV back in 1978 with my parents when I was very young, and it left quite a mark on me. I think it's a strong suspense story with some interesting visuals and a great climax. I was thrilled when it finally came out on DVD a few years ago. IMO this is a film that deserves to be much more widely known.

[@only257]

It’s a great film 😊

[@momzilla2010]

thanks for sharing about these!

[@tonymart105]

Another great (and slightly odd) mix of films. I always enjoy these episodes. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Kevin-u3x]

Loved Killer that stalked New York

[@AC-ss2sv]

Have a great holiday! Thanks for your work. 🎉

[@mikek3979]

Great work once again!

[@MatthewMarsillo]

Just received a notification to check out your channel and very m uch enjoy this wonderful movie review!! Most of these classic cinematic gems I have never heard of except for the Killer That Stalked New York which may have once caught a clip on TMC when they were still turner Movie Classics!! Unfortunately today's films do not have the special qualities that made films of yesterday the endearing and timeless gems they have come to be!! God bless you and your family for these movie reviews are so wonderful to watch and learn more from a very lovely and professional youtuber!!! Have a wonderful thanksgiving and looking forward to your next video!!

I really like "On Dangerous Ground." It's a short film, yet it takes its time to show why this police detective is world-weary.

[@ron_91260]

Nice, concise reviews. I'm surprised by one. As a young child I loved WW2 films and when my dad took me to the local theatre to see a new on I was excited. So, as a seven year-old I sat in the dark watching "Beach Red." It terrified me. It seemed to my young self to be a bloodbath and the objective correlative seemed to be missing limbs, blown off in combat. Obviously, I was way too young for this but I guess in 1967 the ratings were not taken seriously. In high school there were a lot of kids freaked out by "The Exorcist" and Soylent Green, but "Beach Red" did a number on me.

[@TheWorstThingEver]

I loved A Quiet Place: Day One. The fact that our main character is already dying and knows it makes the movie so much more interesting. Nyong'o absolutely kills it.

[@ChristopherElli-cc1ly]

The Library is a wonderful place to get movies that you have never seen or heard of. I just picked up The Three Musketeers starring Lana Turner and Gene Kelly.

[@ChristinaAlvarez-ft5ur]

The last movie was really good. Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan did a good job acting and selling this film.

[@johnw706]

Thank you for your recommendations . I agree with your opinion regarding On Dangerous Ground , I liked it quite a bit . I am looking forward to watching Beach Red and Siege at Pinchgut . As usual , your reviews are informative and entertaining . Cheers !

[@mpulsiveartist]

I haven't seen any of these, so I'll look into them. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

[@Ravenscroft82]

Saw "Someone is Watching Me!" when it premiered waaaay back when, and quite enjoyed it. Good thoughts, as always. Noticed that since I subbed a few months ago, your total has gone from 15K to over 32K; congrats and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@dirtyd7931]

Haven’t seen these in a while thanks Jerome!

[@Robert_Howcroft]

Thank you JW, have a great thanksgiving 👏😀

[@Doomreb]

When I see Lauren Hutton I still hear " They call it denial.." from that old commercial that I'm certain you've seen lol.

[@joylederman4501]

One of the KZbin channels I watch says that a comment of seven words or more will drive the algorithm to suggest the channel to other viewers. I don't know if that's true for every KZbin channel or not, but I'm going to comment anyway 😄 Yet another great bunch of movies to add to my list! Wishing you and your family a great Thanksgiving, Jerome. Once again, discovering you is one of the things I'm most thankful for 😊

[@Weiselberry]

Thank you, Joy! I'm so grateful to have you in my audience as well!

[@jlovebirch]

Every Thanksgiving as a kid, Laurel and Hardy's "March of the Wooden Soldiers" would be on TV. Would like to see a review of that sometime.

[@patrickrossetti7109]

Happy Thanksgiving👍!

[@janeotoole2037]

Hi! I have been meaning to watch "On Dangerous Ground", and based on your review, I will seek it out. I have seen another Ida Lupino/Robert Ryan suspense film called " Beware, My Lovely", and it is quite good. She is a single woman and hires a handy man who unbeknownst to her is disturbed and violent. Robert Ryan was such an underrated actor! Even his villains had a humanity to them, which is definitely the case here. As usual, thanks for watching so many films so we don't have to!

[@ramsien]

Libraries can be a great source for films, and many work in association with other libraries (mine connects with 43 libraries), so don't think you're just limited to what's in the building. If you haven't been in your local library in a while, stop in, get a card if you don't already have one, and see what's out there.

[@Weiselberry]

@ramsien Interlibrary loans are a game-changer!

[@dolobyte]

Great video! Good job

[@tomleturgey4175]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@Weiselberry]

Thanks, Tom! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Tugboat_City]

I've been watching a lot of early Hitchcock this month. My favorite was Number Seventeen (on KZbin). It's sloppy and confusing (and strangely slapstick at times), but I thought it was a lot of fun. Recommended.

[@Ned_of_the_Hill]

Dear Ms Weiselberry, Another eclectic mix of movies! This month I've been deep into Noirvember with: "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946) "Double Indemnity" (1944) "Decoy" (1946) "House on Telegraph Hill" (1951) "Somewhere in the Night" (1946) "Road House" (1948) "Kiss of Death" (1947) "Street With No Name" (1948) "Phantom Lady" (1943) I tossed a couple Japanese jidaigeki in for variety: "Chushingura" (1962) "Samurai Assassin" (1965) Have a happy Thanksgiving!

[@Eric.Taylor.1962]

Pinchgut Island got it's name from a convict who was sentenced to a week of bread and water in chains. Fort Denison was later bulit because of fear of a Russian attack during the Crimean War. Why the Russians would bother is anyone's guess. It's now open to visitors and you can do a National Parks guided tour of the tower.

[@slowry12]

Criterion Collection: Hobson’s Choice (1954): Charles Laughton, Brenda De Banzie, John Mills.

[@reader1956]

"The Killer That Stalked New York" - Good movie. Have you ever seen "Panic in the Streets" by Elia Kazan. An even better version of "The Killer. . .". Lauren Hutton is also in the (very good) psycho-killer movie "Fear" (1990) with Ally Sheedy as the star. I really, really, truly LOVE "On Dangerous Ground". Robert Ryan (one of my favorites) and Ida Lupino are very good. This movie is great.

[@Weiselberry]

@reader1956 Yes, I've seen Panic on the Streets a couple times. Solid movie, and I agree it's the superior of the two.

[@buzzawuzza3743]

Robert Ryan gets really heavy in the bar scene. "Why do they make me do it"?

[@goregrindisthebestgenre]

Gonna keep suggesting hoping you consider, I’d love for you to review the films of James Dean (East of Eden, Rebel Without A Cause, & Giant).

[@davidgianatasio5747]

Cornell directed two other films. No Blade of Grass x The Naked Prey. Both worth seeking out!

[@JimmyDawson1013]

I know Jerome has an Alien: Romulus review coming up soon!

[@Navigator87110]

Bet you a dollar she doesn't. :D

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

A great selection of reviews, thank you. Laura Hutton made quite a lot of films from the '70s onwards about fifty in all, some were foreign films some made for TV, a couple which I recommend are: "American Gigolo" 1980 possibly her biggest part, and a documentary, "The Disappearance of My Mother" 2019.

[@Videogamelover58]

Nice video

[@IAMNationX]

i dont watch a movie until you have reviewed

[@robertjewell9727]

Yes, Bernard Herrmann does compose a sequence when Jim Wilson is driving through the mountains that Herrmann repeated verbatim in North by Northwest. And his music "Death Hunt" aka Scherzo for Horns is a fairly popular concert work today. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmezq4CGop1lrtUsi=wnbWr9GFdJgHLhvC I do want to see Someone's Watching Me. It looks like a pretty mature work for a young director. So thanks. Going to check that out.

[@only257]

My favorite b movies 1 them 1954 2 night of the living dead 3 tarantula movie 😊

[@nadirsuter5167]

john carpenter's Someone's Watching Me! yi seksenler sonu geceyarısı gerilim kuşağında seyretmiş ve beğenmiştim. ustanın çok bilinmeyen işlerinden. a quiet place 3'ü henüz izlemedim. ilk 2 film çok iyiydi ama bu filmdeki en büyük gerilim kediye bir şey olacakmı korkusu.

[@paulkinosian8518]

Do you own THE PSYCHOTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FILM?

[@Politano1955]

Don't get me started about how they edit out derogatory terms they now consider offensive in movies. If that's the way its going to be, then lets just go back to the Hays Code.

[@MerchantsOfMisery]

Solid reviews. Would you ever do a review of Salt of the Earth (1954)? It's a very good movie that I think would fit well in this channel. Also I'd recommend torrenting movies to get around the issues you dealt with in terms of advertising, censorship, etc.

[@illbebad]

JW, love , love, love your reviews, but....I am stuck with older glasses waiting for new ones, and you really look blurry to me! You said something about....in a hushed tone...gray hair being the reason you didn't have an HD camera...well, I hate to say it but, even blurry with my old glasses...I can see them! :) so...with that out of the way...can you go to a newer camera , pretty please?

[@Weiselberry]

@illbebad My hair has actually never had anything to do with it; if I ever said something like that, it was a joke. I'm sorry the low resolution of my videos bothers you, but I have several reasons why I choose to record the way I do.

[@davidriegler9170]

All I can say is that the resolution has always looked fine to me!

[@illbebad]

@@davidriegler9170 are you using your phone? Guessing it would matter much less on a phone

[@davidriegler9170]

Yes, I use a phone. I may be the last person in the country who doesn't have a computer.😢

[@oaktreeman4369]

I agree with you about "Someone's Watching Me", though for a different reason. It strikes me as the kind of story a writer can't do a lot with, to make his version distinctive in some way. Every example of a sub-genre like that is going to be like any other example. Ho hum. As a writer myself, it's not the kind of story I'd want to bother with. The other movies look interesting, though. I must check them out.

[@nedmccarroll8462]

Loving you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

Are you single

[@MerchantsOfMisery]

🤦‍♂Bro come on

[@postscript67]

I had originally intended just to mention that the man on the left at 02:26 is Victor Maddern, very familiar face to someone like me who grew up in the UK in the 1970s, as he was a ubiquitous supporting actor in drama and comedy, film and TV, as well as featuring in one of the best out-takes ever, in the long-running BBC TV police series "Dixon of Dock Green" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJDXaoCsaNdgfNE. All he had to say was "Dock Green Nick"! But then I looked up the film and saw that not only was it the last film produced by the famous Ealing Studios but it was directed by Harry Watt. He began in documentaries and directed the ground-breaking "Night Mail" about the overnight mail train from London to Scotland, with verse by W H Auden.

[@AntonyRG1]

Lauren Hutton is good in Timestalkers [1987].
