THE LONE HAND AND MORE DVD REVIEWS...
09:22:00
Good Morning Lovelies,
And how are you all? I was very kindly sent a ton of classic
films to review a few weeks ago thanks to Simply Media and I wanted to share my
thoughts on them. There is a wide mix so be prepared aha!
The first film I watched was The Lone Hand…
Created back in the 50s, the film is a classic western
thriller that follows a young cowboy as he tries to win back the money that he
has lost to fix the money problems he now has. The film is a great look back at
the genre that influenced so many other classic films and so well.
The acting is a key reminder to modern audiences of the
talents those in the past had and the influences they had on the actors and
people starring on our big screens nowadays.
Which is why I am giving it…
4 Stars
Up next in the film marathon was Melvin and Howard…
When looking at the different elements it is easy to see
that this is where the comedy duos began. The 70s was all about the way two
people connected on screen and the film pairing in this one is top level stuff.
There so I am giving the film…
4 Stars
Following on from this lovelies I watched Masquerade In Mexico…
The earliest film out of the all, the story shows a powerful
woman as she comes to understand the people and the surroundings that she is
left stranded in. It shows Mexico in a beautiful light while also placing a
comedic story into the country with so much beauty lovelies.
As for the acting it is a comedic success and the fun that
the cast allow to be explored makes them seem like a story that would work now
as well as back then. It is obviously a film that allowed for the birth of
others.
This is why I am giving it…
5 Stars
Continuing the watch-athon I found myself viewing One Desire…
Another western style film, this one sees two people embark
on a journey to escape their past after working on a number of badly planned
problems and actions. However the story isn’t as strong as others have been in
recent times.
With a great cast including Rock Hudson, the film should be
a great way of getting people to watch it and see amazing talent, however
unfortunately there is a lack of the greatness the script and story can have.
Or well could have had.
There so I am giving it…
2 Stars
The penultimate film I viewed was Never Say Goodbye lovelies…
Again another film starring Rock Hudson, this one is all
about a doctor who discovers that the wife he thought was dead is actually
alive and the consequences this causes. Different to anything I have seen
before the film is an interesting comedy that has a serious tone to it to.
There is a real chance in this film to see the talents of
Rock Hudson and the skills he has as an actor. Plus with a cameo from the
future cowboy legend Clint Eastwood, Hudson is really able to share the screen
with a lot of talent.
That is why I am giving it…
4 Stars
Finally I watched the film The Proposition…
As the final film to view, The Proposition, was also the
film that was released the last. Starring Kenneth Branagh and Neil Patrick
Harris, the film follows a priest and the people around him that he is trying
to help.
The story is fun but also sad, with a key mixture of the two
that makes the story interesting. With Patrick Harris not being as big of a
name as he now is, the film is definitely one that changed his career and made
him a stand out act. As does the performances from the other actors to.
This is the key beauty of the film in fact. Not the way in
which they react or the stories in which they tell but their acting.
Which is why I am awarding the film this many stars…
4 Stars
