Rated The Odyssey 7/10
Lots of spectacle and super high production value. Kept me entertained, though some of the dialogue lacked the gravitas i would expect for such an epic, and a few of the performances stood out as a bit stilted relative to the rest of the star-studded cast

Rated Moby Dick 6/10
Huston has made some memorable movies but Moby Dick is not one of them. The cast seems to have been skimmed off a tub of lard, with Gregory Peck totally out of his depth as Captain Ahab, unable to convey the main character blind obsession and descent into madness. The choice of casting Austrian actor Friedrich von Ledebur as Polynesian Queequeg only adds to the overall silliness. There is some good stuff like Orson Welles cameo as Father Mapple, the gathering at the harbour by by those left behind, the vastness of the sea, but as a whole the movie is is a clumsy production and it shows. At least Moby Dick gets to live another day and I will always be grateful to Melville for penning that open ending.

Rated M*A*S*H 6/10
I've had "Suicide Is Painless" on a loop in my head for days, so I finally watched the movie all the way through. I'd only seen bits and pieces of it before tonight; I liked it. I sort of want to watch the series now. 🤔

Rated Teen Guerrillas 1/10
Koreans playing Americans took some getting used to; I wasn't even sure who they were supposed to be initially.I watched this on YouTube via a transfer so bad it was mostly impossible to tell who was whom and what was going on, which probably didn't help with my enjoyment of the film.

Rated Sambizanga 1/10
I think my biggest issue with Sambizanga is its opening wall of text setting up internal conflicts, revolution, and any number of other things that just...aren't actually relevant to the plot. A man is abducted and tortured, while his wife tries to track him down. That could have worked were it not for the setup leaving me with very different expectations for the tone and events of the film, but even so it spends too much time cutting away to this other subplot about some locals who see the abductors bring their victim in.
