In my opinion this is the best version of Oscar Wilde's "The Canterville Ghost", thanks to a super (as usual) performance by Charles Laughton who hams it up to maximum. Fun film.
A remake of the 1953 film " Le salaire de la peur" starring Yves Montand from the novel by Georges Arnaud. This is just as good as the original, just a bit shorter.
I'm glad I downloaded it. First of all, it is entirely different from the norm; secondly the dialogue is very good, clear and to the point. The acting is good. Certainly a much better film than I had expected, as well as very unusual.
Even a 1 score for the movie is generous. Awful and awfully stupid. I should have known better than to download it. At least the guys were nice looking and young. Flaunting their looks and firm flesh of course. But one day, if they live long enough, they won't look the same then! How well I know that!
I'm not a great fan of Stephen King's novels, though I have liked a few of them. The same goes for films made from his stories. However Salem's Lot the movie (I haven't read the novel) is one of the very best of its genre, with performances to match from all the cast.
Jumps all over the place and backwards and forwards. I found it confusing at times. Basically it's good but not coherent enough. I didn't like the sort of open ending with a kind of "Make up your own mind"!
I hardly ever watch Westerns these days. I liked them when I was in my childhood and teens. I decided to give this a try as I'd read some good reviews about it. I have to admit I enjoyed it and thought it was worth seeing. Good credible story.
