Review: Street of Chance (1942)

Image
Amnesia is one of film noir's well-worn devices. The disorienting notion of lost identity has fueled countless stories, especially during the hard-boiled era of crime fiction and film. The quest for self has arguably never been a stronger metaphor than in the years following World War II, for clear reasons. But  Street of Chance  was made just before the U.S. joined the war and arrives almost at the very beginning of what we now view as the classic years of film noir, meaning that it straddles the line between eras. Because of this, and because the film uses the amnesia device so well, Street of Chance feels fresh and unique.  The picture begins with our lead (Burgess Meredith) being struck on the head by falling debris while walking down the street. When he awakes, he remembers that he's Frank Thompson, a devoted husband and career man, but when he tries to return home, the residence is empty and a neighbor tells him that his wife (Louise Platt) now lives alone on the other si

Review: Haunted Mansion (2023)

Image
It must be easier to turn a hit movie into a theme park ride than it is to turn a beloved ride into a film. Maybe that's why there are many  great theme park rides based on movies, but so few great movies that started life as a ride. Goodness knows Disney has tried. For decades, Disneyphiles have begrudgingly supported movies like  Tower of Terror and Country Bears out of a sense of loyalty, despite diminished returns. The list of ride-to-film adaptations is surprisingly long, including The Jungle Cruise , Mission to Mars, and even Tomorrowland , which isn't a ride at all, but an entire area within the Disney parks. For every Pirates of the Caribbean , there's a movie that didn't quite work. Disney first attempted to adapt their famous haunted house dark ride into a film with 2003's The Haunted Mansion , starring Eddie Murphy. That version is not without its charms, but it failed to capture the spirit (wink wink) of the attraction that many fans--including myself--n
