This Is Spinal Tap
Notes: Eventually, it was basically one of those cases when I heard about the movie for years, I got such huge expectations and this movie reached an almost mythical status in my mind. However, did the movie really live up to those expectations? Not really, I’m afraid. I mean, it was a good movie and it is definitely original (I think it was actually the very first mockumentary, a genre which has flourished since then but I think only this movie has really become a classic but I might be mistaken). So, I have to admit it, it was very well done and quite clever but, to be honest, I never thought it was really hilarious. Sure, I did smile a couple of times, yes, but did I actually laugh my ass off ? Never. Still, it was the beginning of a very prolific directing career for Rob Reiner who would be responsible for some major classics in the 80’s.

Some Like It Hot
Notes: The first time I saw this movie, I must have been a teenager and, even though I did like it, I can’t say it really blew me away. For many, it is considered as one of the greatest comedies ever made and it has obviously become an inspiration for many other features, especially the ones about men dressed in drags like ‘Tootsie’ or ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’. Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of the genre but, I have to admit it, they really nailed it here. Indeed, not only Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon were actually rather convincing as women but, above all, they were really hilarious and the whole thing is still really fun, even after more than 50 years. Still, even this time around, I wasn’t entirely convinced by the whole thing. I mean, to start with, Marilyn Monroe looked positively charming but, honestly, her character was just a brainless sexpot and , even though it was indeed quite funny, the premise is still terribly silly. Anyway, the damned thing is still a huge classic and it is definitely worth a look.

An average movie

“I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Well, to be honest, I really struggled to care about the damned thing after all. First of all, I did re-watch recently ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ (which was at least ” read more

Detour (1945)
Notes: Well, even though this movie has a very good reputation, it turned out to be a decent watch but, to be honest, not much more than that. I mean, sure, it was a solid film noir, no doubt about it, but there are some much better movies in this genre, at least, that's my opinion. Eventually, nothing much really happened through the whole thing and it was basically about the unluckiest main character I have ever seen or maybe, as it was argued by some critics, just a thief telling a bunch of lies to the audience but I think it would be giving this movie too much credit. Eventually, I was actually more interested in Vera thanks to Ann Savage who gave such a strong performance. In my opinion, she completely stole the show from the moment she got involved. Anyway, even if it didn't really blow me away, it was still pretty good though.

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick (it was even included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list), I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I don’t think that the story was really so original. For example, back in the 90’s, Ang Lee got h” read more
