Mini-Review: The experience of watching Count Orlok creep & haunt the screen is a breath-taking one, it is a perfect performance complimented by the most wonderful make-up effects & deft treatment from the director who unleashes him upon his audience in a very controlled fashion to great effect.

Mini-Review: 'The Kid' is sometimes considered too melodramatic, Chaplin accused of being too focused on reeling the audience in rather than making them laugh - but I for one think this is a great picture & it succeeds in doing everything it wanted. At least in my case, & I'm afraid if you didn't tear up, laugh or gasp when Chaplin wanted you to then you're most probably a cyborg from the future.

Mini-Review: Buster Keaton movies always make me smile, they charm the hell out of me without fail. This one has all his good stuff - the romantic plot, the pratfalls, the dangerous & inventive stunts, hitting a cop (played by Charlie Chaplin) over the head with his own truncheon... what more could you want from a Keaton?

Mini-Review: The story of the first crowds who watched it ducking and scrambling to get out of the way of the train is certainly funny, another historic short from the Lumière brothers.

Mini-Review: Hard to write a review about such a short, seemingly meaningless clip but obviously the historical importance is high. Rated it dead centre just to show I've seen it.
