“To be honest, I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. I wonder what was the meaning of this beautiful title but you wonât get any answer after watching this flick” read more
“To be honest, I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Catherine Deneuve, I thought I might as well check it out. While watching this movie, for some reason, I was thinking that, back then, they still had various actors to play the same character but this pract” read more

“I wasnât expecting much from this flick but, since my step-son Nick is a big fan of shark films, we still went to see the damned thing in the movie theater when it released. To be honest, even though we did see also together 'The Meg', I have to admit that I barely remembered it. Anyway, how was t” read more

Notes: I think it is the oldest movie I have seen starring Buster Keaton and, at first, I was wondering why it was called âThe Goatâ but I think it was probably some kind of abbreviation of âscapegoatâ. Anyway, this short apparently does have a solid reputation but, even though I have to admit that it was pretty good, I donât think it was one of his best shorts though. I donât know, it felt really random but I have to admit that it is inherent to the genre. The concept was also rather preposterous, the fact that nobody checked who was actually on this picture before printing it out all over the place. Still, Keaton was just a great comedian and, obviously, one of the greatest stuntmen that ever lived so, in spite of its flaws, the damned thing was still seriously entertaining.

“I have finally started to dig into Buster Keatonâs work only recently but, since then, I have seen my share of movies starring the classic comedian and, by now, I think I have a good understanding of his work. In this case, I think it is the oldest movie I have seen starring the legendary actor an” read more
“Recently, I have been focusing on older movies and this one is one of the oldest I have seen so far. In fact, the day before, I actually watched âRescued by Roverâ which was also directed by Cecil M. Hepworth and while âRescued by Roverâ surprised me by its simplicity, I was amazed by how co” read more
Notes: In fact, the day before, I actually watched âRescued by Roverâ which was also directed by Cecil M. Hepworth and while âRescued by Roverâ surprised me by its simplicity, I was amazed by how complex this movie turned out to be, at least, for a vintage feature made 120 years ago. It is mostly famous for being the very first adaptation of this iconic tale and I was wondering how they could tell this story in less than 10 mins (in fact, there is only one copy left of this movie and it is apparently missing some parts). Well, the end-result turned out to be some kind of supercut, jumping from one famous scene to another. To be honest, the damned thing was actually borderline incomprehensible, especially if you are not familiar with this story, and yet, I thought it was quite fascinating somehow. Indeed, the sheer ambition, especially considering the technical limitations back then, was just so inspiring and most of it was actually visually pretty neat.

Notes: Unfortunately, the version I saw on YouTube was pretty nasty but itâs understandable since this movie is now more than 100 years old. Sure, it might all seem quite rudimentary but it was in fact at the time a big box office success and I can understand why. Indeed, it was probably one of the first movies with an actual plot and, in spite of its sheer simplicity or actually because of it, it worked surprisingly well. Itâs also important to note that, even though it might look easy when you watch this movie, working with animals is usually considered as one of the hardest things when you make a movie. Anyway, this dog was pretty awesome and you wish they could have developed more the characters involved but, with a running time under 10 mins and no dialogues or title cards, I guess you shouldnât expect much in this area.
