Re-watches: 7

Total for February: 35

The “new to me” list, including mini-reviews of the modern films that won’t be getting full posts:

  • Hot Rods to Hell (1967)
  • Lady Killer (1933)
  • Stage Fright (1950)
  • Side Effects (2013) – Great performance by Mara and I liked the twist. ****
  • Betty and Coretta (2013, Lifetime) – Factually questionable but an interesting watch. **1/2
  • A League of Their Own (1992)
  • Midnight Mary (1933)
  • B.F.’s Daughter (1948)
  • His Brother’s Wife (1936)
  • I.Q. (1994)
  • The Tall Man (2012) – Fun to watch with friends, but not a truly good horror flick. Corny Cliff Scale Score: ***
  • Safe Haven (2013) – The book was so much better. (I’m usually not a fan of Sparks’ books or films aside from The Notebook, but they should have followed the book more closely here.) **
  • Snitch (2013) – Dull and relies too heavily on stereotypes to tell its story. *
  • I Like Your Nerve (1931)
  • The Explosive Generation (1961)
  • Portrait of Jennie (1948)
  • Sleep, My Love (1948)
  • So Young, So Bad (1950)
  • And Then There Were None (1945)
  • Twin Husbands (Short, 1946)
  • A Modern Affair (1995) – I love Stanley Tucci but I couldn’t get invested in the story. **
  • The Five-Year Engagement (2012) – Alison Brie’s accent is horrendous and the story is 100% predictable. **
  • The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012) – Beautiful film, great cast. ****
  • To Rome, With Love (2012) – Not Woody’s best, but a good watch. ***1/2
  • The Search for Bridey Murphy (1956)
  • For Those Who Think Young (1964)
  • Frogs (1972)
  • Campus Confidential (2005) – Hilarious for all of the wrong reasons. I considered doing a Classics of the Corn post on it. Corny Cliff Scale Score: ****
