The Gold Rush
The Chechahcos

"
The Chechahcos From disc three of the DVD set "Treasures From American Film Archives". An interesting silent feature set in the Alaska gold rush from director Lewis H. Moomaw. This is his only surviving film. Some action, romance, drama. The different settings like the boat, the lodges, and especially the Alaska landscapes are major points of interest as well though. It wa ...

This is the forteenth feature length film I've seen by directors Joel and Ethan Coen. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. A Serious Man It's a special moment that seems to have come around once a year in the fall season the last few years when I get to watch ...

The Toll of the Sea Another one from the DVD set "Treasures From American Film Archives". This was the first "successful" feature film to use the two-tone Technicolor process through its entirety. It is doubtful that the film would have had even a small fraction of the notoriety it does not if it weren't for that distinguishing fact, although it isn't a horrible film. The on ...

This is the second feature length film I've seen by director Joseph L. Mankiewicz. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. All About Eve I don't have too much to say about such a famous movie mostly because I feel like it must have all been said before, and I wou ...

This is the first film I've seen by director Claude Chabrol. Le boucher (The Butcher) I first read about Charbrol as a master of suspense like Hitchcock or Clouzot, but with his own kind of psychological, sociological, and political slant. And he is kind of coming out of the French New Wave so there's that kind of feeling about it. I'll admit the suspense and mood were done we ...

Goodbye Solo review
By

JimBell Blog
"
Why are neo-realist films (neo-neo-realist?) such as Goodbye Solo (2008) so difficult to understand? Goodbye Solo should be the rather straight-forward story of a buoyant, good-hearted cabbie, Solo (Suleymane Sy Savane), who tries to save a ride, William (Red West), from committing suicide. But trying to figure out what the film is saying is difficult. Why? For one thing, the f ...

It's got a lot of drama, suspense and action. Scary in general, but it has an inspiring message in the end.

This is the second feature length film I've seen by director Robert Flaherty. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. Man of Aran I've heard him called the "Father of the documentary" (although a quick search of the phrase shows more hits for John Grierson), his ...

This is the fifth feature length film I've seen by director Terry Zwigoff. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. Louie Bluie I've now seen all of Terry Zwigoff film's, and I find it amusing that the last one I was able to see was a documentary that I watched on ...

Hell's Hinges This is available through the DVD set "Treasures From American Film Archives". The western has always been such a distinct genre with it's own clichés, and for that reason it has always been a great genre to subvert. I think this was probably one of the earliest really subversive westerns. And the star William S. Hart was probably the first real star of ...
