116: Midnight Express (1978) and Return to Paradise (1998)

Published: May 2, 2022, 10 p.m.

Hashish will put you in foreign prisons is the theme this week. "Midnight Express" (1978) is the story of an American college student attempting to smuggle 2 kilos of hash. He's caught and thrown into a horrible prison. Loosely based on a true story,\xa0 it was great and star Brad Davis stole the show. "Return to Paradise" (1998) is based in Malaysia, but for some reason spent a lot of time in NYC. Not enough time at the prison and too much melodrama back home. A young Joaquin Phoenix gives a believable\xa0 performance.\xa0

Next, mentors in film with "Wonder Boys" (2000) and "Finding Forrester" (2000).
