Joker (2019)
If you liked the "Purge" movies; you are gonna love this.
I guess I am just burned out on supposed "cautionary tales" featuring anarchy, mayhem and dystopia. This movie has excellent production values and awesome acting, but WHAT A DOWNER! It was nice, however, to see senile bozo De Niro in such an appropriate role.
The Devil's Hairpin (1957)
Showcases long-gone Paramount Racetrack!
I always liked Cornel Wilde (my favorite of his movies is "Naked Prey") and his wife was truly a talented, gorgeous woman. However, the real star of "Devil's Hairpin" is Paramount Racetrack. As deadly as it was beautiful, the historic track was closed after only seven races because of several deaths. Although much of the Paramount Ranch property has been cared for and made useful for movies and TV, the track was neglected and has been allowed to go to seed. This is the only movie to feature (in color!) nearly contiguous laps around Paramount Racetrack. I am waiting for the day when a restored version of this VERY hard to find film is available.
