SHOOTING THE MAFIA
Watchable. Letizia Battaglia is vivacious but has been photographing death since she was 19. So the documentary about her and about the dark dealing of la Cosa Nostra is a bit bizarre. Having seen her, now an old woman, in real life, I found it interesting to see the shots of herself from her youth when she was famous locally for her sexual promiscuity. She still appears to be a very open person when you see how she treats her guests these days. But what struck me more was how much history of Sicilly is drenched in blood. Everything appears to have been revolving around the mafia there. Yet, the film is at times incomprehensible to outsiders.
NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE MARATHON OF IT
I really disliked the first part so this year I just read the synopsis to jog my memory without having to watch it again.
IT CHAPTER TWO
Watchable. It's longer but feels less lengthy than part one, mostly due to the adult cast. The beginning is the best: adult life problems have caught up with the protagonists so their daily lives are a great start. But what floows are jump scares and tropes from several other horror movies (including obligatory "Shining") but most of all plenty of slimey skeletons. And it's overlong, especially the showdown which is the most tedious and plain stupid part of the movie. No mid- or post-credit. Finally over.
