8-9.5/10
Screwball comedy, excellently directed by Hitchcock.

8-9.5/10 - DirectorHenry HathawayStarsMarilyn MonroeJoseph CottenJean PetersAs two couples are visiting Niagara Falls, tensions between one wife and her husband reach the level of murder.Re-watch: Sunday the 1st of March
I hesitated about changing my vote to 10/10. Even the not so perfect elements of this movie seem to be spot on. Well, for now I keep it 9/10.
Very exceptional movie. - DirectorRobert AltmanStarsMaggie SmithRyan PhillippeMichael GambonSet in the 1930s, a group of pretentious rich and famous get together for a weekend of relaxation at a hunting resort. But when a murder occurs, each one of these interesting characters becomes a suspect.FTV Monday the 2nd of March
Seen about one and a half hour of it, then I dozed off.
Oddly enough I'm not at all curious about how it ended. Re-watching Evil Under the Sun the next day strongly confirmed my opinion that such a movie doesn't need so much period-establishing scenes to create the right mood for a murder mystery set in the 1930s. Or perhaps it's just the lack of focus..
And I agree with one of the imdb user reviews that the language that was full of expressions uncommon for the 1930s.
6/10 - DirectorHarold EricsonStarsHarold Lloyd Jr.Cathy DownsByron FoulgerA small town is victimized by many unexplained fires.FTV: Tuesday the 3rd of March
My rating of 7/10 is perhaps a bit high, but I enjoyed this extremely absurd film, with it's overly clear subtext, thoroughly. - DirectorGuy HamiltonStarsPeter UstinovJames MasonMaggie SmithTrying to find how a millionaire wound up with a phony diamond brings Hercule Poirot to an exclusive island resort frequented by the rich and famous. When a murder is committed, everyone has an alibi.Re-watch: Tuesday the 3rd of March

Can Poirot identify the killer before the ship reaches the end of its journey?Re-watch: Wednesday the 4th of March
I'll keep it on 8/10 (7.5/10). Great cast; visually impressive; nice score. But somehow the pacing, the "plot-development" lacks spirit. - DirectorJohn SturgesStarsGeorge MaharisRichard BasehartAnne FrancisA germ that could destroy life on Earth is stolen from a biological warfare lab and the thief threatens to release it into the open, prompting a security officer to act.Re-watch: Wednesday the 4th of March
Hesitated about raising my vote to 7/10.
A movie that could have been so much more.
It's not cynical enough, it looses tension. Some of the sets - the lab f.i. - are just designed a bit too old-fashioned cardboardy. - DirectorLewis TeagueStarsDrew BarrymoreJames WoodsAlan KingA stray cat is the linking element of three tales of suspense and horror.Re-watch: Wednesday the 4th of March
watched only two segments.
kept my vote to 7/10
I hope the cat(s) wasn't/weren't treated too badly. - DirectorTennyson BardwellStarsTim DalyTom ArnoldZoe SaldanaA lawyer who doesn't believe in ghosts is haunted after moving into a family mansion.Re-watch: Thursday the 5th of March
This day everything movie or tv program was very much overshadowed by the finale episode of the 15th season of Wie is de mol
After I'd seen it twice, I couldn't make up my mind what to watch next. For some reason I picked this movie. I liked it very much the first time I'd seen it. And I still think it's a good one, although I lowered my vote from 9/10 to 8/10.
Also watched a large part of another Theater show by Marck-Marie Huijbregts. - DirectorAlan ParkerStarsGene HackmanWillem DafoeFrances McDormandTwo F.B.I. Agents with wildly different styles arrive in Mississippi to investigate the disappearance of some civil rights activists.FTV: Friday the 6th of March
It watches like a tiresome rip-off of In the Heat of the Night (1967)
6/10 - DirectorMichelangelo AntonioniStarsDavid HemmingsVanessa RedgraveSarah MilesA fashion photographer unknowingly captures a death on film after following two lovers in a park.Re-watch: Saturday the 7th of March
I can understand that this freely constructed, unconventional, somewhat rebellious, movie must have made quite an impression in its days. The effect didn't age very well. It now all feels rather tame, naive, sometimes even outright amateurish. Unlike movies such as Breathless (1960) (more revolutionary when it comes to film techinique) or Peeping Tom (1960) (a movie I dislike very much, but at least was more convincing in its commentary towards film and photograhy)
Furthermore, I think Hemmings is completely unbelievable as big-shot photographer.
still: 6-7.5/10 - DirectorStanley DonenGene KellyStarsGene KellyDonald O'ConnorDebbie ReynoldsA silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his delusionally jealous screen partner are trying to make the difficult transition to talking pictures in 1920s Hollywood.Re-watch: Sunday the 8th of March

7-8.5/10
I impulsively changed my previous rating (8/10) for a moment to 9/10, while I was still watching the movie. It started stronger than I remembered. But the middle part drags a bit. So it's now back to 8/10 - DirectorGuy HamiltonStarsRoger MooreYaphet KottoJane SeymourJames Bond is sent to stop a diabolically brilliant heroin magnate armed with a complex organisation and a reliable psychic tarot card reader.(Tuesday I didn't watch any movies.
