Ed Gein
Ed Gein is a glum, unhappy little horror film that plays a cinematic brown note for 148 minutes or so. It features a performance from Steve "Helter Skelter" Railsback that is understated to the point of "not being in the NOW", as Railsback's OTHER famous cinematic alter-ego Charles Manson might put it. I'm not claiming the movie is outright dull. But it's teetering on the edge of same.

"You better wise up. The time is going to come when all men will judge themselves before God. it will be the worst hell, the worst hell on Earth. It will make Nazi Germany look like a picnic! And you got to be ready for that right here, right now, just like that! And that's where we're at all the time." --The Manson Family (1996)

The Deliberate Stranger
A few nights ago I was riding around with Ted Bundy. Yes, I know he's been dead since 1989, but regardless, there it is. I was sitting in the passenger seat of an old pickup truck, and he parked some distance from the building. It was, I take it, a nursing home, and he walked slowly across the parking lot. He must have sauntered the same way through the Chi Omega Sorority House in 1978.

Unraveling the Conflict in Ukraine: Challenges and Prospects for Resolution
As the conflict in Ukraine enters its subsequent year, the situation remains contentious and complex for both parties involved. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin continues to disseminate misleading propaganda for his domestic audience, boasting that victory is within reach, and all sacrifices are worthwhile. He threatens NATO, encroaches on Moldova, and promises to respond to provocations with overwhelming force. However, Russia faces crippling economic sanctions, a depletion of military supplies, and challenges in recruiting new fighters for the conflict, with its citizens evading the draft and its clandestine militias becoming increasingly vocal about the state of the war.

Blast of Silence
Cult Films and Midnight Movies "From High Art to Low Trash" Vol 1 By Tom Baker I couldn't possibly heap enough effusive praise on Blast of Silence (1961) a buried hardboiled gem of a picture, gritty and dark enough to have been penned by Raymond Chandler at the top of his game. It was written and directed and stars Allen Baron, who plays Frankie Bono, who looks like the dream I had of Deniro last night, with a touch of Joe Pesci and a slapdash of Johnny Cash mixed in (he also faintly reminds me of Lee Ving back in 1980). He was in Cuba filming another movie (Cuban Rebel Girls with Errol Flynn) when he accidentally shot a dude, slept with the daughter of a local gangster, and had to flee due to the Revolution. The producers of THAT film agreed to let him use their equipment if he could smuggle it back stateside from Cuba. Sounds like he had a life every bit as interesting as the character he portrays here.
