The Thirteenth Chair (1937)
Plot holes abound but yet
The first half is quite compelling despite the plot holes, but the second half lags, giving you far too much time to consider them. The characters of Madame La Grange and John Wales do help move the plot along nicely. How he is killed silently without anyone noticing a person moving about, and where the murder weapon ends up stretching credulity though. I would have liked a bit more character development though. We're left uncertain why Wales decides to invite who he requests to join, as well as some of the who. Perhaps it made a bit more sense when people were more familiar with the Raj era of British colonialism and the types of Brits found in India, but Miss Stanby is a puzzle to modern viewers. And the purpose of the Professor?

Anyancy = not bright
Honestly I feel like she's an excellent candidate for buying citizenship because yup we do that. I'm sure she's pleasant and whatnot, but zero retention.
The Blacklist: Bastien Moreau (No. 20) (2019)
Literally the worst scale model
The intro with the "White House" - I built a better scale model in elementary school. And I didn't get paid a ton of money to make the transition shot look real either.
El internado: Ver para creer (2007)
Not the most enlightened
A lot of overt women hating in this episode. Not enough California Walnuts and mail boxes etcetera (es). The degreaser does play a critical role, and there are a lot of Paula/Evelyn hugs.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1982)
Pretty good
Get past the first five minutes of crap 80s focusing, and it gets good. Add Angela Lansbury at her peak vocals (at 57!) and it gets great. It's still the recording of a Broadway show so the visual isn't great compared to audio but audio is GREAT.
