What Films did You Watch Last Week (27/05 - 02/06) CLOSED

House of Usher (1960, Roger Corman)

This one was based on an Edgar Allan Poe story which was pretty interesting. The cast is good, especially Vincent Price and there are some very good moments.

A Goofy Movie (1995, Kevin Lima)

I wasn't too sure about this one at first, but I got into it more as it went along. It has some good laughs and some heartfelt moments.

A Perfect World (1993, Clint Eastwood)

I liked this one a lot. The cast is good across the board, it has strong characters, interesting relationships between them, and many memorable sequences throughout. There's also some nice bits of humor.

8/10
7/10

Images (1972, Robert Altman)

An interesting film from Robert Altman. Susannah York is really good, it's well shot, and it has an atypical, but effective score from John Williams.

7/10

Rope (1948, Alfred Hitchcock)

Another great one from Hitchcock.
