Out of the Past (1947)

Jacques Tourneur directs two of my all-time favorite actors Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas in this amazing noir classic... and somehow Jane Greer steals the show as the ultimate femme fatale. Her performance is simply brilliant as a survive-at-any-cost, beauty who manipulates, lies and murders her way through life and still really believes that it isn't her fault. Stunning cinematography, awesome locations, plot twists a-plenty and more tough-guy dialog than you can shake a stick at make this one a must-see for fans of noir thrillers.

9/10

Great movie, in every way.

Jacques has this crazy sense for atmosphere, and lays it on thick as could be.
His collaborations with Val Lewton are unbelievable.

Willard.

I first thought this was a old school movie, I did hear it was a remake or something.
Pretty good, actually scared the crap outta me at one stage cos "socreties"(??) reminds me of my lil girl munchkin, except she isn't as trained as that rat was.

7/10

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" 4/10


The worst so far.

Found the story dull and all the "young" characters annoying.

2001 Maniacs ~ worth watching if only for Robert Englund's over the top performance......completely ridiculous......:p Still haven't seen the original film.

Hellraiser: Deader ~ Not really much of a Hellraiser movie, but again, better than expected.

Road to Perdition ~ love this movie, though it is a bit slow, I suppose.
