My profile was too long (I LOVE to write about ME!) and it was clogging up this page so I moved it here
About My Stars: The number of stars I rate a movie means how much I liked it. I’ve seen lots & lots of movies that rate 0 stars. My rating of 1 or 2 stars does not mean I think the picture stinks. Three stars is a good, solid movie. Four stars is an excellent movie with a problem or two. Five is heavenly! IMHO that is.
What a shame! here's another one not listed in MUBI. Borderline (1950) Back when maryjane was illegal undercover agents try stop either Raymond Burr or a parrot (I can't be sure, I wasn't watching it close enough to tell) smuggle a load of reefer over the titular Borderline. Borderline also happens to be the name of a totally wacky, sleezy cantina song and dance routine by an uncredited choreographer that's the highpoint of the film. Don't miss it! Miguel's hat is to die for. The pot {sic} boils throughout.
Hey! I just watched this ding-dang move and it isn't even listed in MUBI! How'm I gonna warn you to keep away!? The X From Outer Space (1967) Aside from some really hilarious dialogue and a music track that sounds like it's a band practicing to play a high school mixer, this dreadful waste of time has little to recommend it. Since this is Japanese monster movie to tell you that the monster is a guy in a rubber suite and "it's now on a rampage and headed for Tokyo" would be no spoiler. You can guess what happens when it get there. Take the advice of one of the characters: "Hey, research is fun and all, but sometimes you gotta rest."
Having been very favorably impressed by Joon-ho Bong's "Mother" (2009) some time ago, I've just finished a triple bill of "Barking Dogs Never Bite" (2000), "The Host" (2006) and "Memories of Murder" (2003). All I can say at this point is that the films were terrifically diverse (each & all) yet cohesive as the work of a single director. More later, after I've had a chance to mull them over.
Harrison Ford looks as if he is wearing a wig used to mop the floor of SeaTac airport. He’s acting as if someone will murder his family if he acts well. The turgid plot is as full of holes as if it… read review
This movie has more holes than a moth-eaten old coat… and it is about as interesting to watch. If I understand the story, the entire earth has to suffer an alien invasion so Mel can get his faith in… read review
Great sets!
Particularly “Fort Apache, the Rhine” in the first hour. The Barbarian village toward the end is good too. By far the best work by the team that brought you “El Cid” and “55 Days… read review
There’s not much left of this Italian silent movie from 1921 but since it’s only 26 minutes long it’s worth a look. Though large chunks of the film are missing and the continuity is in tatters, viewers… read review
