B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

WOODY ALLEN'S 50TH FILM, "COUP DE CHANCE" (2023) GETS A US RELEASE DATE, APRIL 12TH FOR VOD AND GUESS WHAT? HE'S MAKING A 51st!!

 

Woody Allen's 50th feature film and first in the French language has been set for US release April 5th and VOD on April 12. 

According to some reviews I've read, the movie is a lot like Match Point but in Paris and with darker and more intricate twists than the 2005 hit. Some writers also mentioned Midnight In Paris and Crimes & Misdemeanors as influences and one writer calls the new film a "master of understatement" from Allen. 

One thing for sure - after the last two clunkers (Rainy Day In NY, Rifkin's Festival) which to this Allen fan represent the absolute lowest of his work, I can't wait to see this one. 

And this post comes with even better news - Allen, 88, has now publicly stated he'll start his 51st film in ITALY, Go, Woody, Go!
