Glen or Glenda (1953) movie Review

 Starring………… Bela Lugosi, Lyle Talbot and Edward D. Wood Jr.



Director………….. Edward D. Wood, Jr.



Synopsis


Glen has a secret which is threatens to Destory his happy - ever- after with Barbara- the other women in his life is Glen himself.



Warning Spoilers ahead



My Review



Now I know this not a horror movie but Bela Lugosi makes it feel that way at start of the film that for sure after that movie starts so let’s see I think of story of a dude wanting to be a girl and man or wants a sex change this will be interesting movie too me because I am not into movies like this one.


First of all again nice to see Bela Lugosi but why the heck is he even in this not horror movie but with effects they make you think it is very weird to see him in this I go what the.



As for movie plot it again about guy wearing women clothes and that how movie starts with him dress up as woman and everybody is talking about it only problem is he is going to get married to Barbara but has not tell her his secret that he wants to be a women too I worder how she reaction to his little secret my guess she would dump him not sure that’s only thing interesting about this one other wise it pretty much a boring film some it is only a hour and 8 mins long as movie goes on things do get weird though I wasn’t sure what the heck was going on with Bela Lugosi my guess they needed something to take a break from plot many times to give the crowd a rest then get back to story or plot not sure but this movie had some moments like where the heck is going and in the end he does tell her and so what her reaction.



I was wrong she said maybe we can talk about and work it out as she hand him shirt so does movie end there no they go to another story for the remind time of some guy name Alan who doing girl stuff dressing like women so they talk about him getting a sex change we do see Barbara and glen at ended talking asking for advice on if he should be wearing woman clothes or not and everything and movie ending just as how it started with Bela Lugosi a most odd ending to a very Weird movie.



Now I know where they got idea of seed of Chucky to name his kid this silly movie again this was one of very weird movie I even Bela Lugosi made it a little fun but not sure what his point in movie was for this one I think I never watch again that for sure.



I give Glen or Glenda (1953) a rating of 4/10 for what the heck

Titanic (1953) Movie review



Starring……… Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Wagner 



Directed by………. Jean Negulesco 



Synopsis 


Black and white Drama depicting the story of the luxury liner Rms Titanic on its maiden and final voyage across the Atlantic. 




Spoilers ahead warning ⚠️ 



My Review 


This is very first Titanic movie that was released in 1953 no rose and Jack so figure I take a look and see what I think of it. 



Like old movies they need a few seconds for opening but then started well have to say Costumes look very good and story was good in first half not much build up I was wonder what it going to be like when goes down how will the effects boy should be something but before that there is a story of 2 Divorced people fight over the kids wonder how that will come into play when ship goes down Disasters can bring people together or back as I see it happen they do a good job building up some story’s there is a small love story but not much though there is a Character that does remind of Jack and also rose as well  ship does not started going down unit 1 hour 13 mins is when it starts which I been waiting for. 



So how did they play it out for me was not looking for anything too huge because this is 1953 movie and stuff yeah was a little slow but that ending was just sad was tough to watch not much but will say this sad ending for a low money making movie. 



Well have to say this was good not best but good story and that ending was indeed tough to watch pretty good acting as well so not a bad first titanic movie of well more to come down the line is all I have to say for this Sunday movie review. 



I give titanic (1953) a rating of 6/10 for good

Starring………….. Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston and Louis Hayward


Directed by Rene Clair



Synopsis


Ten strangers are invited to an island. but their host never appears and guests start to die. Could one of them be the killer.



Warning ⚠️ spoilers ahead 🛑





My Review


This week review is another mystery but a odd one unlike the other ones I see this one is about 10 strangers invited to a island at first that sounds fun but when host doesn’t show up and some of them are started to die this movie feels like clue movie I see with the only way to survive the week so movie shows many of drop like flies just like the movie clue they do a good job building up on who killer is with guest started to die in mysterious ways music mix in well with moments as well acting does a great job too cast was great in this one as well so it was tough one to figure out who killer is even though all them seem nice people could it be Butler was acting odd and everybody point fingers at him so he could be involved but maybe not killer not sure judge possible again that what made story interesting unit the end where you don’t know who killer is but as you go though the movie clues are drop and so after all the clues and interesting music what did I think of ending there was a twist that must of characters had a crime past which is something but the ending was can of odd but pretty much know it was him but it was a odd twist there so little snake was the one that did well will say got this one wrong but should of know that person that was behind this not a bad ending though with driver said ready to leave I would be after going though all that only 2 left the mystery house so must say this was interesting mystery movie it was good.



For old movies like this you get some of best mystery movies for 1945 it hold up good years later after this we got another great movie clue this one had you up and downs on who killer was but that ending was Shocking never thought he would be behind it writers did good though his story as well this movie was written they fool me at the end that for sure that way classes mystery movies should be a very good movie hats off to writers and cast and director as well for this great movie.



I give Then there were none (1945) a rating of 8/10 for great.

 Starring…………….. William S. Hart , Margery Wilson and Robert McKim



Director…… William Hart



Synopsis


A Small town Marshal’s secret past as a outlaw comes back to haunt him when an old associate shows up and threatens to expose his former dark deeds.



Warning spoilers ahead




My Review


This very old movie is like 50 mins so is this a movie sort of 50 mins means it past the time for indeed movie. For a film that was back in 1916 it look pretty damn good for movie that over 100 years or 110 years and story Is pretty much a western movie look like great silent old western movie back then again they did movies or film some in silent with music sometimes and words on screen to help you out on what they are saying story of movie was pretty good if you follow movies like everybody in town seems to not like new Marshal’s so at end seems like they want to team up on him and take him out one way to do that is too let big secret out it does hurt everybody who knows but he has a fight with man who told everybody the secret and win as film ending with a happy ending between him and his girlfriend I think not a bad 51 min film.



Good film story was little confusing do not know who Draw was my guess he was associate they were talking about also he girlfriend was pretty lady even though look like she got mad at him for a bit at end but everything went ok silent films can be or bad sometimes but this one I like with western style film and again it is pretty amazing what they can do for a 51 min film time that not too long but enough to make a good film if they can it was great watching this just love watching films I am never heard of so stay turn who knows what I will do for next week movie or film review see you then.



I give the Return Draw Egan (1916) a rating of 6/10 for good

Directed by………. Howard W. Koch


Synopsis

Warning spoilers ahead



My review


Another movie with another Mystery of a woman who was found dead somebody did a number of her and again who did is the Question this one didn’t have too much of a build because it was another of them 1 hour 14 mins movie but do say they do a good job on making it on who killer but not showing the person just when you think they will they cut to another part of the movie that leaves you still nothing too me I think the guy in wheelchair had something to do with the murders then ending of who was indeed shook me as well never thought it would be her indeed what a way to end another mystery movie.


I thought this was another good short mystery movie never thought it would be that person who was crazy she was acting nice and guess played them good thing they figure it at first thought it was guy in wheelchair but he drop a huge hint and who it was so I was wrong it was not guy in wheelchair well would I watch this again maybe the acting was not too bad in this one at all so would watch this old film again sometime down the line.



I give The Girl in Black Stockings (1957) a rating of 6/10 for good.

The little Princess (1939) movie Review

 Starring………. Shirley Temple, Richard Greene



Director…… Walter Lang



Synopsis


After her father leaves for war, a young girl is sent to a strict all-girls boarding school. Will she learn to enjoy her bleak new environment?



Spoilers ahead warning



My Review


Figure to check out another Shirley temple movie called the Little Princess so yeah looking forward to take a look and reviewing which Is probably a classic movie.



This one sound can of sad with this young girl being sent to girls boarding school as father leaves for war also you know there will be girls bullying her a lot already see it when girls meet her and make fun of her but added that will not sour the movie too me what I am looking for is how this does at the school while her father is away so is this a musical well most of her movies are so yes so that ok there a teacher in this movie called Miss mention if I understand right can of silly also later on she Celebrates her birthday but she gives out gifts and gets them from her friends which is interesting but later on we find out what happen to father which changes the whole movie right so now they going to Punisher her for father debt who owe school big time money so now they want nothing to do her and treat her like crap all this because her father died can of dumb if you ask me.



I never trusted Mrs mention anyway at the start she was acting very odd to her but when it comes to money anything goes it can turn you into rude person and stuff but you know it may look bad but sure there some twist to get her out of this mess is to prove her father is not dead and that what she does some how gets away from the school to go out find out the truth and later on a good moment does come her father is not died but in a coma so will it have a happy ending or not too me.



Well last 15 mins no one believe her and why would they even Steal food and stuff mrs pain in the butt but in the end it turn out to be a happy ending but would like to see Mrs mention say she was sorry for put that girl though hell but they did not but this was a good movie with a great ending as well.



Everything Shirley temple does for acting is gold in movies this another great one bye her every time I see her movies she makes indeed fun so yes I will say this indeed another classic and will be another movie I watch in the future

If you have not see this one do so it another one of her great.



I give the little princess a rating of 8/10 because it was great movie

 Starring……………… Josephine Baker, Pierre Batcheff and Regina Dalthy


Director…….. Henri Etievant


Synopsis

Legendary Josephine baker stars in this silent film as a woman who falls for the man who saved her life and finds out he’s engaged to someone else.


Spoilers ahead


My Review


Back to 1928 we go with this silent movie called Siren of Tropics so was it good or not for a silent movie it this time it stars Josephine baker who again never heard of unit now figure since I been like silent films I would give this one a review must say it is not a bad movie but will say good for writing, acting and music as well good thing they have writing as well pop on screen or else you may not understand there one woman who can dance as well she is full of Energy as well she has a happy ending too as movie ends in a odd way but ok some of movies back then are something no credits at the end like today this was the era before that happen which is what I find interesting.


As for the flim it was not bad at all would of like to see if she ended up with him did not happen from what I see Josephine was good in this one as well again not bad for acting as well for a very old movie have to say this movie is indeed worth checking out if you have the time in my thumbs up to director for making this good movie.


I give Siren of the Tropics (1928) a rating of 6/10 for good.
