The Blood Beast Terror (1968)
A scientist, working with genetics, creates a creature that is capable of transforming back and forth between a giant Death Head moth and a beautiful woman.
Quite silly - and mediocre - horror yarn; the creature is especially risible.
Halliwell (no star): "Unpersuasive and totally idiotic cheapjack horror fare."
Green Book (2018)
A working-class Italian-American bouncer becomes the driver of an African-American classical pianist on a tour of venues through the 1960s American South.
Entertaining and heartfelt buddy movie with the two men, in almost all aspects sheer opposites, find friendship against the obstacles of a hostile society; made with great sensitivity and good period detail, but its the two excellent leads that make it happen.

In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
A Philadelphia police officer struggles with a lifelong obsession to track down a mysterious serial killer whose crimes defy explanation.
Nicely staged sci-fi crime drama is at first interesting, but has one main problem: it's yet again another time-travel story beyond any plausibility.
