Great. Thriller, essay on assasination as a fascination. I love the encounter between Ogata and the old lady killer. Complete amorality is impossible, Iwao (great Ogata) has his affective and moving limits.

Good first part, decaying till the end. The dilemma of having caused or not the death of Don de Fore, is not too devastating on Heston, till he meets widow Viveca Lindfors. Lizabeth Scott, good hearted soft noir lady.

Psycho comic thriller in attractive space (the ebb tide that isolates the fortress, excellent), Lione Stander great comic playing straight.

Great. Everything on disaster movies is already here. A bit corny and denying of its anticolonialistm motif; buy moving in every scene of mytical John Hall escape from Tahiti. Ande very sexy...

Del Toro's big deception. Ok tale, pretty decors, pretty evil Chastain (far better than Wasikowska); but horrible ending, full idiot plot.

3 stars just for launching a serie, a topic (car racing against the law and after that, for the law), a team with its simple melodrama (handsome Walker is a cop betraying unbetrayable Vin Diesel).

Great depiction of rural life. The scene where Julie sings in the tabel is better thabn any other dramatic scene. The period reconstruction is perfect (the scene in the coastal city is ok). Finch is the best of the quartet, but Stamp is an irrsistible bad guy with feelings.

Great. Rivette is so moved by his tale that simply narrates it, with still camera, sober decors, cond delivery of text but no cold acting.

Vain attempt the simple, dark and difficult. And to prepare possible sequels. Long and reiterative.

A surprise. Not only McKellen is astonishing; Condon is ok in each confrontation between Holmes and everybody else. A tupical sherlockian inductive thriller within another drama.
