Ron's Log: GoPro Brings You Joshua Tree National Park In 2:19

January 9, 2013

Time-lapse video takes you from the Cottonwood entrance to the low desert part of the park, to the Ocotillo Patch, the Cholla Garden, a campground (White Tank?) in the high desert, and finally out the Twentynine Palms entrance.

The Skeleton Key
[* ]
So terrible, I don't understand why they didn't just skip this movie and go directly to the satire.
Panic In The Streets
[**** ]
Really good, but there is no actual panic in the streets.
The Raven
[** ]
Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. This has nothing to do with Poe's "The Raven," aside from the fact the Lugosi quotes it a few times. It references other Poe works as well.
The Black Cat
[*** ]
Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff.
Blood & Wine
[** ]
There's enough blood, but you've really got to BYO wine if you want to get through this thing.
Layer Cake
[*** ]
Manic
[*** ]
Adolescents in a psych hospital.
Murders in the Rue Morgue
[** ]
Bela Lugosi plays the evil Dr. Mirakle and gets his just comeuppance.
Black Friday
[*** ]
Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Karloff plays a complex character while Lugosi plays a mobster who seems to die of fright due to claustrophobia...I think.
The Invisible Ray
[*** ]
Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Lugosi is the good guy.
The Journey
[** ]
Argo
[**** ]
