Synopsis

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

A few years ago or longer I did a movie with same title as this one so run into this one on Tubi where I watched most of movies this one was release in 1939 so figure I check it out and see if it is good then 1998 one.

This one is same story but a lot more into story this time we see what happens when 2 twins sons are born to the king the king best friend or so thought it would be a danger to have 2 kings when they grow up for some reason they only go with 1 king and hide the other one is later on Prison by his brother so it is one evil twin and the other one is good so that what makes plot very interesting how this will go.

Years later the mean king is rule his land for evil rather then good tax poor people being a mean one that for it is something they raise him to be like that but later on they meet and king want him to be him for the day more like filling in for him So the good king gets to see what his brother has done and try iron out problems but try to not to let the evil king know what going on if so you know the evil king will do something.

Pretty much he using his brother to fill in for first half but later on he puts good brother in mask of iron because he wants more power to himself can of odd he used him just to later on

Prisoner him it was a sad moment and I was hope later on it will backfired on him.

Later on the hero’s do get the good king out of the mask and then he tells his brother how he feels now so he put him in iron mask now evil king gets to feel what it like to be put in a iron mask for a while he trying to tell everybody he the king but no one believes him but later on they do and he gets now they save best for last evil twin vs good brother well they did that little but it ended in a crash for evil brother in a wagon and a pretty good ending as well that where I would go for ended.

Overrate a lot better then 1998 version that was good movie but this one had more to story along with great ending would of like to see brother vs brother at the end but they didn’t go that way and just ended evil brother in a crash but that didn’t bug me this guy was evil all he cared about was power this good king will help out good this movie also has good acting as well if you like good acting this was indeed for you and this one is indeed worth checking out if you see the 1998 version as well.

I give the man in iron mask (1939) a rating of 8/10 for great

 Starring………… Mary Pickford, Gordon Griffith and William Haines

Directed by William Beaudine

Synopsis

Mary Pickford wrote and stars in this lively tale of a tomboy and her big brother avenging the shooting of there 👮‍♂️ father.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Time for another Mary Pickford old movie review this time called little Annie Rooney from. 1925.

Film starts off in a funny way with her fighting with the kids in a fun food fight look like it was funny but all that food to waste ouch but this interesting her last film I see she was calm and stuff this one she throwing food I think it is and having a good time great start hope all her movies are this she is funny and great Actress as well as for films this did go one for another 15 mins after that she and kid started fighting unit a guy broke them 2 up from fighting I thought this was her brother but no just a guy passing though and thought it was silly see kid fighting a girl nice of him to care but it was not her brother was a nice 15 mins start funny.

Later on we meet her brother and dad there then later on police showing up and everybody who was in that fight got in trouble some interesting so I guess to make it up they must pay a price so to make money can of look like they are team up to do a play for town not a bad idea did not well but that was good comedy there.

Later on she got a nice cake going for her pa Birthday later on we see something sad happen to him as he gets shot very tough to watch policeman give her the news she was ready too it was indeed tough to watch now did get a nice brother and sister moment at the end of the Scene sure is something this movie started off fun but after father died turn into a another story very fast good writing there.

Now we have the brother trying to find the killer of his pa killer he later on blame on Joe for killing his pa so last 15-20 was trying to figure out killer is they do it was not Joe but his brother shot him because he did not know so interesting stuff going on at the end for the story she thinks she going to die by giving blood 🩸 to Joe guess this is her first time so she ask questions can of funny and little bit odd in my view anyway everything went well as movie ends with a good ending as well.

Have to say this another good Mary Pickford movie that I like it was good comedy movie at the start With the food fight there that went on for good 15 mins but it was indeed funny there but later on did change after papa was killed was very sad so story change very fast after that was interesting as well so not too bad there the ended was indeed great again Acting was good I wonder how old Mary was in this young I think if not she play role for good so indeed worth checking out this great film with the great Mary Pickford so was happy to review another one of her film hats off to her and cast for this good film.

I give Little Annie Rooney (1925) a rating of 7/10 for great

Director……….. Nathan Juran

Synopsis

The terrible and treacherous Pendragon plans to gain the throne of Cornwall by Getting the king to abdicate and merry his lovely daughter. A giant under his control abducts the princess,

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Think this my first movie on the tale of Jack the Giant or maybe not did see a few other versions of the movie this one could be one of first of many tales most of time the first versions are the best so let’s see if I think that or no.

Well have too say good intro of movie and it’s the princess Birthday and she was giving a house with a Creature small who can dance cool but later on that will come to backfired on them as story gets interesting as bad guy used to his power to control the monster by a powerful Sorcerer evil one the Creature look good for clay motion good effects as well for a old movie well lucky Jack was around to help her as he took out the Creature for now because they would not take him out quick maybe they want to force on Pendragon more he is indeed powerful one and some how wants princess bad see that one before later on his somehow using effects monsters effects look like they look good and creepy.

Later on after getting her we see his plan unfold change her princess is now a queen that look a lot different under a spell she look like a evil queen good Costume but she was a lot pretty the other way and not this look but will say interesting for story because now you wonder how they build Jack up though the rest of movie and wonder how they change the princess back and face this powerful evil guy also I wonder how she reaction when they meet again to see if she remembers him. Once he does.

Have to say this is indeed good writing and storytelling as well the movie was great for acting as well just a fun Adventure movie and magic as well like the way it use for this one Costumes look great as well and that last 15 mins was fun too the guy in bottle was funny as lots of close calls though but in the end everything had a happy ending would of I love to see king reaction at the end yes but no need too it ended very good I would probably indeed watch this one again very great movie for 1961.

I give Jack the giant killer (1961) a rating of 8/10 for great

My Review

This week review will be review of 17 min film yes short film in history What’s to do Think this Shirley temple film debut too not sure will have to see anyway here what I think of this short 1933 film.

Starts off with class for high school President this indeed very old film but look ok for film picture here in 2022 this film is Rogers just win the President but dad got a job and wants to move to Seattle so his victory might be cut short unless he can somehow try to get his father to stay.

For a 17:49 mins  this was not bad funny as well the way he try to get out from leaving was funny don’t blame him he has everything here so he fake being sick in a funny way as well and it worked out and that how it ended.

Very short but funny comedy movie I must say Shirley temple look cute and funny in this think she was cute and funny this lead her to be a star in many movies was this first film she was in not sure but if it was a very cool film debut she was indeed cute and funny in this one is indeed worth checking out just like the film this will be short film review do I wish it was little bit longer yes but this was 1933 and most was short films but I was happy to review another Shirley temple film.

I give What’s to Do? A rating of 7/10 for funny short film

Rio Lobo (1970) Movie Review

 Starring………… John Wayne, Jennifer O’ Neill and Jorge Rivero

Directed by……… Howard Hawks

Synopsis

Howard Hawks Directs John Wayne in a western about three ex Clvil war soldiers rallying the Frontier to Rebel against a corrupt and nasty Sheriff.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

This is my first John Wayne movie that I see and review so let’s see if I like this Western movie or not.

Not going to lie I am not much of a fan of western movies too much but I have heard John Wayne movies are good so figure since I am reviews old movies I will give him a chance and I must say they were right first I love the intro of music with Guitar playing at start with credits rolling good way to open it up movie as well. First of all robbers staff was can of silly and by the time they got there were quick gone with gold but later on got a little bit later not much then later on they head to Rio Lobo with a woman who needs help and Sheriff who seems grumpy in my view some say Jennifer acting is not good I thought she did good and see nothing wrong she was pretty as well so no problem there.

Now will say build up to end was little slow and boring a little bit not bad but ending battle payed off with a good gun fight and that Sheriff Got what he deserved because he was rude after the fight was over John Wayne walk away with lady who shot the bad guy at end as it say the end not a bad John Wayne movie wish it could of end the way it started would of been way to end it will say it was fun watching my very first John Wayne movie reviewing it as well I would probably watch it again sometime down the line as well.

That it for this movie review for this week have a good rest of your week.

I give Rio lobo (1970) a rating of 7/10 for good
