75 38% The Stendhal Syndrome (1996) - Rated 13 Mar 2024
"Quite faithful to the style of Argento at his best, but suffers from various liberties taken. Not sure about the plot-development, either."
75 38% Magnificent Obsession (1954) - Rated 11 Mar 2024
"There’s too much pathetic load to get past. The emotional engineering and liberal use of plot-devices is unfortunately present from the beginning to the extent that nothing in between it and the end can provide any satisfaction. Very professional, though."
45 4% Marriage Today (1950) - Rated 22 Feb 2024
80 73% There's Always Tomorrow (1956) - Rated 20 Feb 2024
"Character dynamics are Sirk’s strength and it shows here despite the lack of colour. He manages to convey emotions and differences in personality without seeming too deliberate."
77 54% City That Never Sleeps (1953) - Rated 25 Dec 2023
"As the elements of a better film, but the narration struggles to piece everything together."
80 73% Thieves' Highway (1949) - Rated 18 Dec 2023
"Quite unusual at first, but quite engaging in the end. Conte and Cobb provide excellent performances in a ruthless mise en scène. The aggression and chaos of Conte's mission translate visually, as apples roll around, money-hungry rough men get beaten and Valentina Cortese transforms from a cold pawn into an epitome of his salvation."
76 46% Beware, My Lovely (1952) - Rated 14 Dec 2023
"There’s something psychologically titillating about the apparent sickness of Ryan’s character, which he plays well. With more development and a clearer sense of direction, there would have been potential for a low-key classic."
76 46% One Way Street (1950) - Rated 27 Nov 2023
"Although it’s pleasant to watch, most of the film doesn’t manage to keep up to the expectations set by the exciting first scenes. The Mexico part should’ve been better integrated into the story."
77 54% Lured (1947) - Rated 27 Nov 2023
"Ball and Sanders are suited for their roles; Sirk succeeds in telling the story. Overall well-made but somehow lacking in suspense."
79 69% Framed (1947) - Rated 22 Nov 2023
"Enjoyed the progress of Ford getting to realise he’s being framed. A standard noir plot and atmosphere with decent storytelling."
