Movies

Catch Us If You Can (a.k.a. Having a Wild Weekend) - 1965  You'd think the "Dave Clark 5 Movie" would have something to do with the Dave Clark 5, but it doesn't.  This movie brought pleasurable expectations and left only boredom, regret, and a feeling of having been educated rather than entertained.  The one good thing about it for me was that they go to a place that allegedly has go-karts but they don't ride in them, or even show them onscreen.  That was a real relief to me because no matter what song they play in the background a go-kart scene is a go-kart scene and it contributes nothing to the story.  If you like wondering if anything interesting will ever happen, or seeing a movie supposedly about a band in which the band never performs or is even shown with or near their musical instruments, this is for you.  Not me.  2/10 for sociocultural education value, getting to see the Roman baths at Bath, and a lesson learned.
