I found the film well stylized, but mundane within story and presentation of it. I felt way too detached.

SixOfTheRichest, yeah I had the same reaction. Looks nice. But it's kind of a drag.

The Devil Commands, the best of Karloff's Columbia Pictures series of the late thirties and early forties. Karloff attempts to contact his dead wife with a lab full of electrical gadgets hooked up to a few corpses borrowed from the local cemetery. Best scene in the movie: the bodies encased in armor sitting around a table, reacting to the current flowing through them. Despite the title, the Devil has nothing to do with any of it.

100 Rifles 1969 directed by Tom Gries. American Western made in Spain to look like Mexico. In 1912 Sonora, Mexico, native revolutionary Yaqui Joe (Burt Reynolds) robs a bank to buy arms for his oppressed people, but finds himself sought by an American lawman (Jim Brown). They eventually become allies and team up with Sarita (Raquel Welch) to take up the cause of the Indians. Big, sprawling and violent, nothing great but occasionally entertaining. It looks rather expensive with all the extras and how much they blow up, plus a derailing train. Could have been better with a director with a better visual style, as it is it's rather flat.

DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1939). My Rating: 8,5 out of 10. Highly RECOMMENDED.

SixOfTheRichest , yeah I had the same reaction. Looks nice. But it's kind of a drag. I was thinking Polanski's Chinatown - '74 pretty much the whole time I was watching it. Like it was some sort of homage to that classic and sublime film, yet couldn't quite get there.

A Man Escaped or Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut 1956 directed by Robert Bresson. Captured French Resistance fighter Lieutenant Fontaine (François Leterrier) awaits a certain death sentence for espionage in a stark Nazi prison in Lyon, France. Facing malnourishment and paralyzing fear, he must plot an extraordinary escape, complicated by the questions of whom to trust, and what lies beyond the small portion of the prison they are housed in. Very minimalistic prison drama based on a real escape that succeeded, we know that as a fact, since he wrote about it and worked as a technical advisor on this movie. One of the movies mentioned among those 1001 movies one have to see before you die, at least in the edition I have. It looks boring on the surface, but once it grabs you, one is in it all the way and there is no scene that is unnecessary or too long, since one is in the hands of a master director. Recommended. (I didn't do this collage by the way)
