		<description><![CDATA[Oooh, fun, another heist movie. I do so love a good heist movie. This reminded me a lot of another heist movie I saw recently: The Killing (read my review). It has some similar elements, and I enjoyed them both immensely.
Here, we get to meet Tony le Stéphanois (Jean Servais), just out of prison. He [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three weeks ago, I had no idea who Henri-Georges Clouzot was. Now, I&#8217;ve seen two of his movies and both are masterpieces. He made this right after Le Salaire de la Peur (read my review), yet it&#8217;s an entirely different kind of movie.
Unlike Le Salaire de la Peur, very little time is spent setting up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ace in the Hole is a less well-known movie by Billy Wilder, which was a complete flop at the box office when it opened in 1951.
Kirk Douglas plays Charlie Tatum, a former big city reporter, who is something of a trouble-maker and keeps getting fired from all the big papers for various reasons. He ends [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow. Giulietta Masina gives one of the best performances I have ever seen in this movie. Her face is so expressive, and she gets all the feelings across with pitch-perfect subtlety.
But I shouldn&#8217;t get ahead of myself. This movie is about Maria &#8216;Cabiria&#8217; Ceccarelli (Masina), a prostitute in Rome. She so desperately wants to find [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you know anything about me, you&#8217;ll already be aware that I love mysteries. I devour crime novels and love a good thriller movie. I especially adore Agatha Christie; she&#8217;s just so fun and light-hearted in those murky murder mysteries of hers. And from the start, it&#8217;s obvious she wrote this.
We meet Leonard Steven Vole [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first tried to watch this movie a few years ago. I found it dull and complicated, and I could never get into it. Being from Sweden, I&#8217;ve been force-fed some Bergman in my youth, and I never could appreciate him. But, in the last few years, I&#8217;ve caught up with some of his movies, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, I am still kind of reeling from the experience of watching this movie. It was extraordinary, and quite unlike any other other movie I&#8217;ve seen.
It opens in a South American town, a filthy place, children begging for money and poverty everywhere. It&#8217;s hot, and dirty. A lot of time is spent setting the scene, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t hard to tell that this was another picture by Vittorio De Sica, as it bears a striking resemblance to his other great, Ladri di Biciclette (which I reviewed here only a few weeks ago).
The story is similarly simple; it tells of an older man (the titular character, played by Carlo Battisti, not a [...]]]></description>

Ran, of course, is an adaptation of sorts of one of William Shakespeare&#8217;s finest plays, King Lear. It tells of an old warlord who decides to relinquish control of his kingdom and divide it among his three sons (in King Lear, they are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Old science fiction movies can be iffy. They are often overrun by cheesy special effects, and the acting can come across as (by today&#8217;s standards, anyway) awfully hammy.
In those regards, I found this to be wholly refreshing. It&#8217;s set during the cold war paranoia in America, and tells the story of an alien called Klaatu [...]]]></description>
