The White Buffalo (1977)
One of the most enchanting movies I have ever seen.
My movie book rates this movie as a Turkey. The critic should have watched it for what it was rather than trying to classify it. It wasn't really a western even though it had a similar setting. Both the lead characters were caricatures and not real. They told a simple story with embellishments, i.e. salty language - "no more hard tongue from you, Mr. Coxie or you'll deal with me". Train conductor: You have a cold in your head, Mr Otis, that never goes away. Poker Gen, etc, etc. Scene by scene it was a treat to watch. One surprise after another. Characters were excellent - Jack Warden, Kim Novak, Stuart Whitman, Will Sampson "We Will both solve the great mystery". All in all one of the best and most enchanting movies I have seen.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
An EXTRAORDINARY movie
Down with critics of this movie. It truly was extraordinary. Characterizations were magical. Who would ever think that Dorian Gray would be cast in a movie - other than Hurd Hatfield, of course. Allan Quatermain, although not exactly fresh from King Solomons Mines is a leader of the first rank. Tom Sawyer? "M" - straight out of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Capt Nemo, Rodney Skinner, Dante, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and the rest. And another thing - Don't ever grab a female vampire from the back. I say "WELL DONE". Sure there were some minor faults but, as far as I'm concerned the only thing somewhat bothersome was the rapid action - sometimes hard to follow.
Critics are too critical
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. (1953)
What was missing? The final 500 piano theme. It would have been impressive.
An ingenious & inventive film. It was in fact a musical - it had production numbers. The distinguishing thing about it was that is was made in the early fifties and anyone alive now either wasn't around in the fifties or if they were they can't remember what was going on in those times. The morality of the fifties escapes us. I mention this because somebody commented about Freudian sex, homosexuality and other modern day subjects that were supposedly intimated in the movie. Isn't Hollywood wonderful!!
