What Films did You Watch Last Week (03/05 - 09/05) CLOSED

Hi, Dark.


Yours:

I've seen Death Trap, or a good part of it. But I don't remember it that well. I do remember the twist though.

Gremlins 8/10

I haven't seen it in ages, but I remember liking it a lot.  Oh, yeah, the CGI version would be terrible. 

The Grifters 9/10

Loved it. Loved the atmosphere, the cast too. Angelica Huston and Annette Bening were really great.  

High Noon 10/10

It's one of my favourite Westerns, actually. Love Gary Cooper. 

Thieves Highway 9/10

I thought it was great. Really tense. Loved Richard Conte and Valentina Cortese. Lee J. Cobb was great too, IMO.


Mine:

Rifkin's Festival 6.5/10

Woody Allen movie. It's really not great, it's not bad though, IMO. I actually think Wallace Shawn was a bit weak in the lead role. I thought the dream scenes inspired by classic movies were fun, though. I liked Elena Anaya too.

Q & A 8/10

It's a Sidney Lumet film, with Timothy Hutton and Nick Nolte, about a New York assistant D.A. who gets involved in a case concerning an ultra-crooked cop who also works as a hitman for the mafia. It's really pretty good, it's quite underrated, IMO. There's Armand Assante in the cast too, he's great.

Eye of the Needle 8/10

It's a movie with Donald Sutherland, it's about a Nazi spy in England during WW2 who's about to get info about the D-Day to Germany, and hides in the house of a couple who has no idea who he really is. I liked it. In the second half it almost becomes like a film noir, I like that. Loved Donald Sutherland.

Other People's Money 8/10

It's a Norman Jewison movie, with Danny De Vito and Gregory Peck. There's Penelope Ann Miller too. It's about a Wall Street shark who wants to buy a company in trouble, to dismantle it and make money off it. It's a comedy actually, I liked it more than I remembered. It's really well made, Danny De Vito is great, Gregory Peck too. The ending maybe feels a bit too easy. I have the feeling it's a studio ending.
