Movies 2026: Shame and Money

Secret of the Blue Room (1933). Bad formula melodrama, although beautifully shot. I mention it because it features an actress I had never seen before. Gloria Stewart. Can't act. Can't deliver a line. But a gift from on high.

The old lady from Titanic?
 
Spider-Man: Brand New Day became only the seventh film to make $2 billion globally. It will probably end up #3 all time behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame.

At the same time as Spidey is doing that, by Wednesday The Odyssey will pass Deadpool and Wolverine to become the #1 R-rated movie of all time.
 
Recently watched a string of highly recommended and underrated films from the past several years and I concur that all are truly wonderful. Some of these are not for the psychological faint of heart.

-Coherence (2013)
-Blue Ruin (2013)
-The Invitation (2015)
-Calibre (2018)

Thanks. I really enjoyed The Invitation. I will check the rest out; the only one I had heard of was Coherence which is very highly spoken of.
 
Disney and the MCU has the perfect opportunity to bring Michael Peña back as Luis from Ant Man to recap everything prior to Doomsday.

But they won't. Cowards.
 
Just re-saw Equinox, a cult shoestring horror movie from 1970. It is even more fun the second viewing.

The movie is very raw. Nobody* knew what they were doing so they all just learned together. Everybody did every job -- crew were extras, actors carried masonry and props. The movie was made for $8k and grossed $800k, a 100:1 markup. Now as a cult classic it has probably made another 100:1 markup. It may be the most successful ROI in film history.

*Except for the special effects guys. They were very young but they went on to greatness. Pretty much everyone who did effects for the next 40 years either worked on Equinox or was their student. This is where ILM got started. In a guy's dad's garage.

Other fun fact: the third lead actor who plays a cowardly hiker along for a joy ride, who almost gets everybody killed, is a very young Frank Bonner. Less than 8 years later he was immortal as Herb Tarlek at WKRP.
