Review of Alphaville (1965) by A B — 31 Jul 2005

[i][b]Alphaville[/b][/i].

Alphaville is a very wierd, but fascinating film (Just what I like!). I was always hooked, and when it was finally over, it felt like only a few minutes had passed.

Rating: 95/100.

Great, fun story. Excellent acting by James Stewart, Cary Grant, and Katherine Hepburn.

[i]Citizen Kane[/i][/b].

[size=4][size=2]The first time I watched "Citizen Kane" I thought it was okay, but not as good as everyone else had said. But the second time I watched "Citizen Kane" I realized how good it truly is. "Citizen Kane" is usually hailed as one of the greatest films ever made; now that I have watched it again, I would have to agree with that statement. Everything Welles does in the movie is amazing. I especially like the fact that the camera looks up at Charles Kane, and Leland, but looks down on the weaker characters (I know this was taken from Stagecoach, but it works incredibly well in Citizen Kane). The acting is top notch, like all of the Welles movies I have seen.

Rating: 100/100.

[i] The Battle of Algiers[/i][/b].

The powerful and historically accurate account of the uprising in Algiers in phenomenal. It's probably one of the best war films ever made.

Rating: 95/100.

[i] The Day the Earth Stood Still[/i][/b].

One of the greatest Sci-Fi classics. A must see.

Rating: 90/100.
