And this was in the late 1930s.
Child Bride - the girl is Shirley Mills, who was later in The G r a p e s Of Wrath, amongst other films.Quote:

There wasn't really any kind of a story at all. He was an old guy going back to work as an intern after he retired because he was bored, and he worked at this hip new startup as the boss's intern, and she was so caught up in her work and new success that her husband cheated on her, but that was ok because it was her fault for being busy at work.
Then Robert De Niro just left work and went and did Tai Chi at the park. She didn't know where he was so she left work too and found him at the park and they started doing Tai Chi together.
The End.
That doesn't count as a story right?
Imitation of Life: 7/10
All About Eve: 8/10
YouTube link for All About Eve is posted on the previous page.
Hairspray (1988): 5/10
I decided to watch 6 movies today from the YouTube links, here are my ratings for them:
All about Eve: (8/10)
Diabolique: (9/10)
Ordet: (9/10)
Paths of Glory: (8/10)
Rashomon: (6/10)
Rear Window: (7/10)
Nice haul.
I saw Spectre and Diabolique today and give them both 7s. Diabolique's ending though...holy crap.
I have to agree with you on the part about the ending.Quote:

Similar to 12 Angry Men, Rear Window is unique in its cinematography. Much of the movie is filmed in one setting. Plus, anything with Grace Kelly in her prime merits a minimum of 8/10.Quote:

I started watching The Seven Ups a little here at work. That was the first R movie I ever saw in a theater.
The Wages of Fear: (9/10)
Wild Strawberries: (8.5/10)
Warlock: (4.5/10)
Sansho the Baliff: (9/10)
I'm rewatching "The Seven Ups" now, just remembered that I ordered the DVD while back, I'll give you a review right after watching it.Quote:

So many little things with it, I don't know where to start. Part of it is how Daniel Craig has changed the franchise. He took it from a cartoon, a barely different than Austin Powers level of buffoonery, and added a depth and dimension to the character that we haven't seen in a while, if ever. This film regressed from that a bit.
Normally, when you watch a Bond film, you suspend disbelief, as you do with many action hero films. This one seemed to go back to earlier Bond films, perhaps as an homage, perhaps because they were out of ideas. There was a villain that was very similar to Jaws, he even went out the same way on a train. There was the obligatory tour of the evil villain's compound, shortly before evil villain tries to kill him. Blofeld, said evil villain, was a bit of a disappointment. There were the implausibles, like Bond getting drilled into the side of his head and not bleeding a drop. All in all, I enjoyed it. May even watch it again on TV some day. But I expected a little more this time. And I didn't get it.
According to critics, I'd say your rating would be correct. This is just another excuse for me not to watch the movie.Quote:

Been a while since I was here. Too much stuff happening meant no time for movies :(
The Dark Knight Rises
No match for The Dark Knight, or Batman Begins, but certainly not as bad as some people make out. The film is essentially about Bruce Wayne, not The Batman. For me it works in that regard. There are though some problematic parts...
When Gordon escapes from Bane's lair by jumping into the water, Blake finds him miraculously fast despite there being more than one outflow.
How does Bane know where to construct his base right under where Lucius Fox keeps all the goodies he supplies to Batman, when only he and Wayne know of it.
When the football field is blown up, why does the player with the ball keep going until he reaches the endzone? Wouldn't he have turned round right after the first explosion to see what the frack was going on!
At the end, when Alfred is sitting in the Florence café, I would have preferred if he'd caught a glimpse of someone passing by in the distance who could have been Bruce Wayne rather than seeing him sitting at another table. Would have been nice to have left the question of whether Wayne survived a bit more open.
All in all, 7/10
Seance on a Wet Afternoon: (8.5/10)
Notorious: (5/10), a terrible movie
Is that the Biggie Smalls biopic, or the 1946 Hitchcock?Quote:

Ordet: 10/10
Vertigo: 8/10
Paths of Glory: 10/10
Sansho the Bailiff: 7/10
The Hunger Games Mockingjay, Part 2: (7/10).
Rear Window: 8/10
Rashomon: 8/10
The Wages of Fear: 10/10
Pixels: 6/10
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: 7/10
Trainwreck: 4/10
This reminded me to add Uncle to my Netflix queue. I just got the Kingsmen, but wont be able to watch it for awhile.
Just watched the most recent Three Musketeers movie. I liked it. Probably the best Three Musketeers remake I've seen.
I found Trainwreck to be pretty good, here is my ratingfor it: (8/10)Quote:

I think that Kingsmen wasn't as good as Trainwreck. I'd give Kingsmen: (7.5/10).Quote:
