Murder on the Orient Express

1974

★★★ Watched

"That is not my Poirot!" My girlfriend shouted at the tv. I wish I had that level of commitment for the visual medium. Maybe one day.

The Muppet Christmas Carol

1992

★★★½ Rewatched

The Oscar in 1993 should've gone to Michael Caine goddammit! With one hand tied behind his back by muppets he still delivers a performance that makes Al Pacino and Robert Downey Jr look like child actors (I guess, I haven't seen Scent of a Woman or Chaplin).

Salem's Lot

2024

★★ Watched

Some great visuals but stumbles in the second half. I really love how fast everybody buys that vampires are around!

Frankenstein

1910

★★ Watched

I'm glad they remade this one, no one want to get dressed like this dude for Halloween.

Some of the effects were really impressive while some of the plot was not.

The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog

1927

★★★½ Watched

It's nice to see that Hitchcock already from start was the master of suspense, and also that his... interest in blondes was a life long ion.

The ending is a bit cheesy and I wish Hitchcock would've been allowed to keep his original.

The Lost World

1925

★★★★ Watched

Dinosaurs are cool, however blackface is not.

Really cool flick and the dinosaurs look great. Some of the characters really shines through with great moments involving catapults, wrestling and monkeys while some others have shallow stories with morale dilemmas without consequences.

How to Train Your Dragon 2

2014

★★ Rewatched

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Treasure Planet

2002

★★★½ Rewatched

It's a great story portrayed in an innovative new way! The feels are really turned up to eleven for this one. Please set more classic literature in a space setting, but have less comedic sidekicks. Please.

Dune: Part Two

2024

★★★★ Watched

The beautiful cinematography almost makes up for the lack of Sting in metallic underwear.

Alice in Wonderland

1915

★★★½ Watched

Looks great but some of the costumes are just nightmare fuel. On the other hand, some caterpillar costumes are just a guy stuck in a sleeping bag.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

1939

★★★★ Watched

It's very brave move to in 1939 make such a strong statement of the equality of races, especially the romani, and to praise the freedom of press and free speech. Of course there are things in the movie that hasn't aged that well, but in many aspects it takes a surprisingly modern take on things.

Many actors get their chance to shine in the movie, like Maureen O'Hara as Esmeralda who makes a real character with depth out of something…

All Quiet on the Western Front

2022

★★★½ Watched

This movie is part of my master scavenger hunt challenge. Challenge #14 asks for a film from a director you haven't seen. I've chosen All Quiet on the Western Front by Edward Berger.

This film is a great film about ww1 showing the political movements as well as a good representation of the hell that was the western front, however I don't think its a good adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front and I wish it was…
