Number 17 [1932] Number 17 Alfred Hitchcock 3/7 Guns, stabbings, hog-tieings and general awfulness. Hitch is slowly moving towards the more familiar. Not brilliantly, though.
Cromwell [1970] Cromwell Ken Hughes 4/6 There’s an air of ridiculousness over Alec Guiness as Charles I in this flick. Every time he comes prancing into the room, it leaves me thinking of inspector Jacques Clouseau.
Blow Out [1981] Blow Out Brian De Palma 4/6 Solid. Brian knows what he’s doing. Maybe I should binge-complete. Easter’s coming up.
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints [2006] A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints Dito Montiel 5/6 Disturbing. Uncomfortable. The Shia-fixation keeps paying off. Don’t watch it, Lars!
Deep Blue Sea [1999] Deep Blue Sea Renny Harlin 2/6 It’s like someone tried to make a new Jaws. With CGI. And Samuel L. At least he got eaten.
The Skin Game [1931] The Skin Game Alfred Hitchcock 2/6 I’m beginning to think hitch wasn’t very good at filming stage plays.
