An average movie

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since I have a weak spot for Chloë Grace Moretz and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, unfortunately, even though Moretz was really charismatic as usual, I’m afraid the damned th” read more

A good movie

“To be honest, I still haven’t watched ‘Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget’ but there was no way I was going to miss this new Wallace & Gromit sequel. Well, after almost 20 years (wow… I didn’t expect it to be so long ago, I feel so old now…), it was really neat to see these iconic chara” read more

Nosferatu
Notes: Watching a horror flick with my filmclub has been a priority for me for quite a while and, since this movie had received some solid reviews, I thought it would be a suitable candidate for this experiment. Well, even though pretty much everyone in my filmclub completely dismissed this movie, I actually really enjoyed it though. Indeed, I have watched all the movies directed by Robert Eggers (we even watched his last movie ‘The Northman’ also with the filmclub), I really love his style and, once again, he didn’t disappoint me here. Indeed, there was a nice dark gothic vibe and the damned thing was visually really neat. Concerning the actors involved, I thought that Bill Skarsgard was quite fascinating but I guess it might be a matter of taste because he was not exactly the most attractive vampire you’ll ever see, in the contrary. At least, nobody could argue that Lily-Rose Depp was not good here. Indeed, I think there was something quite powerful and even quite spellbinding about her performance. The link between sex and vampirism was also interesting and it is something I always sensed in this genre but it was maybe the first movie I saw in which they explored this. Unfortunately, pretty much like with ‘The Northman’, even though the damned thing was visually quite fascinating, I’m afraid the story was just too generic though. Basically, it was the classic Dracula tale and, even though it did like the approach they took, it was still the same story I saw maybe 100 times before and, therefore, it was all rather predictable.

“I didn’t grow up with this movie but, since it was available on Disney+ and since it seemed to have a decent reputation, I thought I might as well finally watch it. To be honest, I have to admit that it was not bad after all. Sure, it is a rather generic sports feature with a grumpy guy forced to ” read more

A good movie

“I had this movie for so long in my queue that I actually didn't remember why I actually add it in the first place. Anyway, after all this time, it finally decided to watch the damned thing and, well, I have to admit that I wasn’t disappointed at all. In fact, at some point, I finally remembered wh” read more

Way Down East
Notes: By now, I have seen the most famous movies directed by D.W. Griffith but, even though this one did seem to have a decent reputation, to be honest, it didn’t really impress me though. Indeed, it was visually not bad (the chase scene on the ice towards the end was pretty wild) but, as far as I was concerned, it was pretty much a typical vintage melodramatic soap that they used to make back then. Basically, they gave us a pure and innocent girl who gets deceived and defiled by some evil libertine guy, something they really loved back then apparently, this movie was even a big box-office success when it was released but I’m not a huge fan. The fact that they needed 150 mins to tell a rather simple story after all probably didn’t help either. The extensive running time probably had to do with the fact that there were quite a lot of characters involved but, to be honest, they were all rather unremarkable, I’m afraid. The only exception was Lillian Gish. Obviously, it wasn’t the first time I saw Gish in one of D.W. Griffith’s production and, once again, she didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure. Indeed, there were a couple of close-up shots which were just masterful. Another thing that stood out with this movie was some random comical scenes that showed up from time to time. I don’t think I ever saw Griffith indulging with such audacious comic touches in his epic dramas before but, to be honest, it didn’t really work, I’m afraid. For example, this character Professor Sterling felt like some really misguided mix of Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton.
