“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it had been a big critical and commercial success, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, at least, this movie made me want to re-watch ‘The Wizard of Oz’ which I saw only once more than 10 years ago. Concernin” read more
“When I heard that Francis Ford Coppola was making a come-back with a passion project he had been working on-and-off for decades, it instantly became a big priority for me. Well, I wish I could say it had been worth the wait but, to be honest, it was not really the case, I’m afraid. I mean, in cont” read more
Notes: Even though I looked it up, I'm still not sure what to make of this title. Did it mean that David was ‘tolerable’ or ‘acceptable’ maybe? Anyway, it was a typical quaint movie that they used to make back then, at least, the beginning. Concerning the plot, it was basically about a young boy who wanted to prove to himself and his community that he was a man. Well, at some point, it became clear that the way to reach this end-result was to avenge his brother and his father and, indeed, he did end up killing no less than 3 men more or less in cold blood at the end. That this event might be the cause for any kind of celebration was, in my opinion, rather deplorable but I guess it might be expected from a country who has been struggling with gun control ever since their Constitution has been published. Concerning the rest of the movie, it was not bad at all though. Indeed, such vintage features, even some vastly superior movies than this one, have the tendency to be slightly or even really disjointed but this one was actually well put together, at least, for a movie which was made more than 100 years ago. Richard Barthelmess was also praised for his performance and I have to admit that he was pretty good even if, at 26 years old, he was maybe 10 years older than his character was.

“To be honest, I have no idea how this movie actually did end up in my queue. I guess I was looking for some movies from 1921 for one of my movie projects, I bumped into it on YouTube and I thought I might as well check it out. Anyway, even though I looked it up, I'm still not sure what to make of th” read more
“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
“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
