Born Yesterday (1950)
Unwatchable
I don't understand the very high ratings given to this movie. In spite of a very promising start, the "script" gets bogged down and absolutely nothing happens.
The scene of the gin rummy game: such a long and useless torture to watch !
I couldn't go beyond the fiftieth minute because the plot was so vain, the acting ridiculous, and the deep boredom.
If you want a great movie with Judy Holliday, with a similar story, go and watch urgently "The Solid Gold Cadillac".
Gorugo 13 (1973)
Looks like an amateur movie.
Ridiculous cheap japanese action movie. The action occurs in Iran, a surrealist Iran since everybody seems to speak japanese fluently, where is the logic ?
The main character is not charismatic and hardly talks during the whole movie.
Each detail seems ridiculous: the killed people close their eyes when they die, the burned cars are empty while there were full of gangsters during the car chase, etc.
School for Scoundrels (1960)
PERFECT !
How could a British comedy starring Ian Carmichael, Terry-Thomas and Alastair Sim could be bad ? In the case of Schools fro Scoundrels, you have the perfect typical old British comedy with wonderful actors.
This is the kind of movie that makes you feel good and I guaranty a lot of laughs while viewing this jewel.
One of the best comedies starring Terry-Thomas I know (another one I recommend is "Make Mine Mink").
Born to Be Bad (1950)
Miscast but good movie overall
The story and the movie are (almost) great. Almost great because it is difficult to imagine Joan Fontaine more attractive than the wonderful Joan Leslie, which is perfectly classy and charming here. Moreover Joan Fontaine always seems to smile in every scene like if her smile was artificially frozen.
Aside this miscast (Joan Leslie should have been cast as Christabel), every part of the movie is great, with the usual excellent performance from Robert Ryan.
Silicon Valley: Artificial Emotional Intelligence (2018)
Awful
The season 5 is horrible. Idiotic puking stuff and almost no funny scenes.
Triangle (2009)
Bad remake of a good movie
A miserable rip-off of TimeCrimes (Los Cronocrimenes), released in 2007.
Even the idea of the handbag on the head has been copied.
The story is slightly different by exaggerating all the twisted plot to the absurd.
This is a shame because the movie was promising, with a weird atmosphere, some fine actors and characters were correctly developed.
I highly recommend TimeCrimes if you have not already viewed it.
Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
Highly...disappointing
From Scorsese, I was hoping a great movie like Taxi Driver, or even better (but it would be difficult to do), but Bringing Out the Dead is just awful!! Absolutely pitiful performance from Nicolas Cage who is totally expressionless in this movie. The dialogs are pathetic, and in fact only the great camera works could have saved this miserable movie. But it didn't.
Deserve 1/10
La fleur du mal (2003)
Very boring
Boring dialogs, boring & empty characters, boring story (is there really any story ?). You will look at your watch every minute during this movie. The worst Chabrol movie I have seen.
Qian xi man bo (2001)
Slooow and uninteresting movie, with uninteristing characters
When i saw this movie, I expected to see something similar to a Wong Kar Wai movie, with good camera moves and effects, some fun in characters, etc. But in Qianxi manbo, there was NOTHING!
When I say nothing, I mean: no plot, no camera effects, no poetry, no fun, just stupid characters, stupid dialogues, camera work as its simplest (except the use of blurred pictures). If you like to sleep in the cinema, watch this movie !
