Have any YouTube 40’s Looney Tunes links to share?

Plenty of action with twists and turns in Wanted, and its fine direction makes you wonder why the sequel was never released. Recommended.

Reckless runs a very nicely paced plot, script & dialogue, fitting the roles into the provided portrayals came across somewhat like fitting square pegs into round holes – or vice versa. Thus the barebones of the budget could not be concealed, as was the case with the production, and in particular, the sets.
Enjoyable though, so will be here when they come up with series two!

Midsommar starts off in a rather dinky manner, until you get to the location where it slowly evolves into an Ashram garden of muraled weirdness, wailing dirges, crying babies and abrupt scene changes that all end up in some kind of a Jonestown/Wickerman inspired predicament, where the surviving folk coming out of it, well, quite beaming you know. Might have been a while getting into the rhythm of it, once engaged, things seemed to have worked out quite well. Recommended!

On the other hand, there was some difficulty identifying with the slightly less than suave protagonist in Under the Silver Lake gawking round abstruse clues for stuff that really never made a lot of sense. There’s a lot in there that ticks the boxes for a bad movie, particularly the wtf scene transitions and jittery music score. Must have missed something then, so will the pull of the much vaunted mystery ever be enough to encounter the push of the memory retained of it?
