Evil wins

This is the only film noir that is color. this movies a story about a detective, Gittes, whose job is to find husbands who cheat on their wives. One day he gets an assignment, but he is tricked. He then works with Evelyn, to find why her husband dies. But whenever he tries to help someone, he ends up making it worse. thats why hte cop say its China Town. Overall this was a descent movie. The opening scene was good start for this kind of film. Unlike many other detective movies, Gittes is a total different detective. He is funny, not hardtalker, not so serious. He is smart with getting around stuffs. The acting is great in this film and so is the characters. Gittes does a great job all around, so does Evelyn. Evelyn is a mysterious charcter. first i believed her when she said she was telling the truth, but then i changed my mind. I think I just went along with what Gittes was thinking, whether he trusted her or not. I didn't like the ending because Evelyn dies and it made me feel that evil always win. And we are left without knowing what will happen to het characters. for example, what happened to Gittes, and whether Cross will rape his daughte/granddaughet or not. Overall this film was descent.

Va Va Voom!!!

This is a very strange and interesting movie. The movie starts with a girl panting down the street and when in the car she keeps on panting. The 10 minute non stop panting was really annoying, and made me just mad, but this could be the director's idea. This one private detective, Mike Hammer, superman, gives one girl a ride, and she ends up dead with a message. Hammer is trying find out what it means and why they killed her. In his journey, he loses his best friend, Va Va Voom. Since this was a B movie, the acting, characters, and sound affects were okay. Like when Hammer puched this one guy, it sounded too real. The overall tone of the movie was suspensful and kept me interested throughout the movie. My favorite part of the movie was Hammer's friend who talks funny, Va Va Voom!!! and also the part when GAbrielle opens the nuclear box and she sets herself on fire. I think the director made a good decision of picking the right ending, because I wanted Hammer and his innocent secretary to live a happy ending.

Out of the past

Out of the past is a film noir about a private detective, Jeff, who was sent by this gangster, Whit, to find his girl Kathy. But Jeff betrays Whit and stays with her. ut Whit gets her later, and through out this movie, Jeff is trying to forget his past and live a happy life. This is the only film noir I have seen of that era. First I thought it wasn't going to be so good, but actually it was not bad at all. I liked characters of Jeff and Kathy. Jeff was an invincible guy who can knock out a guy with his left hand, and Kathy is beautiful and hot chick who does anything to get waht she wants, even kil many times. They were many low key lighting to show the mood of the movie. I wasn't sure in the end if Kathy really loved Jeff, or was just trying to get away. I also liked the ending twist of the film how both Jeff and Kathy died, but the other chick could live a happy life.

Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind

This was the only movie I have seen where Jim Carry plays a quiet and nice guy instead of crazy and funny guy. I also liked clementine's character of this crazy girl who wants to live life to the fullest. She says that people want to hang out with her so that she can turn their live around, but I am a girl with my own problems, so don't give me yours.
Overall I liked the movie. The plot was good, and i liked the idea of the memory erasing. Although I got confused some times, eg. when they were on the beach house, and he said he left, and the building was crashing down?? If such thing existed in real life, i think it would be really interesting.

His Girl Friday

I thought His Girl Friday had its ups and downs. Firstly, I was impressed by the speed of their conversations. It made me want to concentrate more because if one misses a little part, one might miss a big part of the story. But talking too fast made me lose what was going on, and I missed many parts when I just couldn’t understand or keep up with the characters. I think, all the characters especially, Bruce did a great of acting. I liked how Bruce acted as the nice and sometimes slow guy, with Hyldi being the smart, commanding, and the “man” of the relationship. Maybe back than, it was funny, but this movies wasn’t funny at all. The only funny part in the movie was the stupid guy in the end who always talks about his wife, and when Hyldi banged into the short guy in the press room. I was surprised as back than, the power a woman had. She had a great job, may men following her, and she could just pick one guy in the end, which usually a man does. In the end, i am surprised the movie is called a "classic" because it failed to gain my interest and the plot was not well done.
