The Wormwood Star (1956)

 

Hollywood Story (1951)

 

During the 1950s Hollywood, an independent producer unwisely opens a can of worms when he decides to make a movie about the 1929 unsolved murder of a famous silent-film director.

Competent crime mystery with an intriguing Hollywood plot is vivid and fairly suspenseful; a more straight attempt by horror expert William Castle.

Halliwell*: "Adequate potboiler with a reasonably absorbing plot and glimpses of silent stars."

Maltin++1/2: "Loaded with potential that's mostly unrealized. Strongest asset is location filming around Hollywood and the old Chaplin studio."

Let Them All Talk (2020)

 

A famous author goes on a cruise trip with her friends and nephew in an effort to find fun and happiness while she comes to terms with her troubled past.

Carefully directed cruise ship drama with some humorous elements is fully enjoyable first and foremost for its excellently assembled ensemble; there's never a dull moment.

Papurika (2006)

 

When a machine that allows therapists to enter their patients' dreams is stolen, all hell breaks loose. Only a young female therapist, Paprika, can stop it.

Wildly imaginative and sometimes disturbing and shocking anime is a fascinating watch, although its plot is difficult to follow; best described as an attempt to capture the fantastic and illogical world of dreams.

Maltin***: "Vivid psychedelic images highlight this Japanese anime...With its imaginative visuals, this is a trip worth taking."
