“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since it seems to have a decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, to be honest, I have to admit that I didn't remember at all this terrorist attack in Mumbai back in 2008. I guess it has to do with the fact tha” read more
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, to be honest, I have actually very little knowledge about (American) football so I have to admit that I had no idea who Kurt Warner was before watching t” read more
Notes: Before watching this short, I have to admit that I was actually slightly worried that I had seen actually too many shorts by Keaton at this point to really care anymore. However, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this movie after all, in fact, I would go even further than that. Indeed, I'm pretty sure it actually turned out to be the best short feature I have seen starring Buster Keaton that I have seen so far. Sure, the story was maybe nothing really groundbreaking but the damned thing was just so entertaining. Indeed, most of the jokes were actually quite hilarious which I should have been expecting from this master. I was also so impressed by the acrobatic stunts the guy pulled in this movie. Indeed, the cool things with his movies is that, while watching them, you actually know there was no CGI available and barely any special effects either so everything happening was actually physically done by the actors. For example, there was this scene during which 3 actors (including Buster Keaton himself of course) were on top of each other, these guys were basically running back and forth between two buildings, the whole thing looked so insane and I was basically gobsmacked.

“I have finally started to dig into Buster Keaton’s 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. Before watching this short, I have to admit that I was actually slightly worried that I ” read more

“Before watching this flick, I had really no idea what to expect from it as it was selected by someone from my filmclub. To be honest, it seemed to be a rather obscure Danish movie. Well, eventually, the fact that I knew nothing about it before watching this movie allowed me to appreciate more this r” read more
