Targets

Targets (1968) starring Boris Karloff, Tim O'Kelly. Directed by Peter Bogdanovich. Karloff plays Byron Orlok, a retiring movie star much like himself, and O'Kelly plays Bobby Thompson, a youngish man who likes his guns. The two are fated to meet when Thompson goes on a murderous rampage, and Orlok makes an appearance at a drive-in which is showing one of his old movies. This was Bogdanovich's first feature, and it is enhanced by an Extra on the DVD in which he describes the making and marketing of Targets. (English subtitles are available, but choose the closed captions if you can.) Grade: B
