The General: Oddly, Lovefilm reckon this film is a 1926 movie, while IMDB reckons it’s 1927. I’ll go with the IMDB year, as that’s what I’ve used in the past when the dates differ on the two sites. This is the only Buster Keaton film I can recall watching as an adult. In fact, I […]
Film Log
Logs of movies I’ve watched.
Movie: Notorious (1946)
Notorious: Another great Hitchcock film. This is one part of the IMDB top 250 that I’m learning to love – I never really knew Hitchcock before – I mean, I’d heard of his name, and that he was a mystery/thriller/crime person of some sort (wasn’t sure if he was a writer or a director)! Now […]
Movie: Frankenstein (1931)
Frankenstein: I think almost everyone knows what this film is about, or, at least, the premise of it. Man creates being, being turns into monster, monster scares the villagers, and they destroy it. I am in two minds about this film. On the one hand, I thought some parts of this film were excellent, yet, […]
Movie: The Kid (1921)
The Kid: An early Charlie Chaplin film, where he is the Tramp character. I still find it amazing how many films Charlie Chaplin made, and that he was the director, writer, star, composer for so many of them too. This is an enjoyable film, with an absolutely fantastic performance by The Kid himself. If you […]
Movie: Mystic River (2003)
Mystic River: I thought this was a good film, but, confusing in parts. I didn’t follow some parts of it straight away, as the speech was at different volume levels, so I was constantly battling with the volume control – the loud bits were way too loud, and the quiet bits were way too quiet. […]
Movie: Sleuth (1972)
Sleuth: I’m not going to say much about this film, apart from that it was very very good. I think anything I say about this film might give away the plot too much. It really is very good, and I suggest you watch it if you get a chance. It’s a mystery thriller film. I […]
Movie: Halloween (1978)
Halloween: A horror film with rather a lot of hype behind it. I thought it was okay – but, nothing special. Yes, wow, no special effects, etc – but, it’s still just a boring old horror movie, with parts that are far too predictable. I give it 5/10
Movie: The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
The Bride of Frankenstein: I haven’t seen the earlier Frankenstein movie yet – it was a mistake on my part that I didn’t put a lower priority on this film on my lovefilm subscription..Anyway, I thought the introduction to this film was done a little oddly – I couldn’t tell whether the acting was purposely […]
Movie: National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
National Treasure: Book of Secrets: One from the entertainment list… I wanted to watch this, as I enjoyed the first National Treasure. This one was not so bad as I expected it might be, but, the reaching of big conclusions from tiny hints was back in force. It’s an enjoyable movie, if you don’t take […]
Movie: La Dolce Vita (1960)
La Dolce Vita: I guess this really isn’t my kind of film. It made very little sense to me, I wasn’t sure where it was going, what was happening, etc. Right at the beginning, where he meets Maddelena, it all seemed fairly okay. But then, with the other parties, and the oddness with the party with […]
