Frozen North (1922)

A silent short of Buster Keaton.

These days, I watch nothing but Buster Keaton. I finished all his long shot silent movies from 20s. I am digging his shorts now.

Friday:

Thriller: Screamer
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213227...nm_flmg_act_19

It's the quiet ones who always take you from surprise and......blonds do have more fun. A cliche or two and rather well done for a last century Brit gothic mystery. A 6.7.

Saturday:
Alien Reign of Man
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6891976/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Well, on the up side, the acting is beautiful and the photography for the sci fi backgrounds is breathtaking. The massive downside is.......you have no clue to what is going on, why things happen the way they do, how things happened like why the two boy girl teams are now teams of two girls and two boys, where sudden players come from and who they are, what the goal is. That last one is sort of a good thing for when the flick ends suddenly to go for 7 minutes of credit, one really doesn't know if they were successful or not. I got the feeling that maybe this was a flick in a series or perhaps based on a game where one is expected already to know, but imdb shows no connections. A 2.0.

There are B&W movies made in the US recently. Intentionally. From Passing to Belfast, The French Dispatch to Gunda, the monochrome movie is back in full force — and for interesting new reasons.

More importantly, black and white changes a movie thematically, providing atmosphere, tone, and visually providing stark contrasts and a dreamlike view of the world. It can at once make a film feel more real (like time period accurate film and photographs) while making it feel unreal (real life is in color).
Those are art movies you seem not to know much about.
