The Toll of the Sea
The Toll of the Sea

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 ...

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 ...

This is the second feature length film I've seen by director Tim Hunter. 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. The Saint of Fort Washington The only other film I've seen directed by Tim Hunter was River's Edge which was handled quite well, and seemed personal e ...

This is the first film I've seen by director Satyajit Ray. Pather Panchali (Song of the Road) I actually had watched most of this one a while ago on my computer, but got interrupted and never finished it. Not because it was bad, but because I just don't prefer watching movies on my computer and also there was not as much urgency to finish it as there would be to a movie I rent ...

This is the first film I've seen by director Hirokazu Koreeda. Dare mo shiranai (Nobody Knows) Another disappointing first time experience with a director. This film was also extremely highly recommended to me on numerous movie recommendation sites. It is based on a true story about a group of children abandoned by their mother in a Tokyo apartment. But it seemed to lack dra ...
