It will be my own personal opinion, with a rating of 1-10. The rating will be strictly my level of enjoyment. Not a true reflection of artistic quality. The"review" will also often be slanted toward a how-does-it-measure-up-to-today's-movies.
(And just for the record...I may throw in a not-so-old-and-classic movie at any time. Sue me.  I promise...the majority will be older classics.)
Obviously the ToTV gang is encouraged to contribute. 
Well, here's the first one. The Lady Killers...yes...the 1955 version...
The Ladykillers (1955) - Rotten Tomatoes
Kinda cute with good some good characters...like Peter Sellers before he was Inspector Clouseau. But also very corny by today's standards. I will say this, I didn't suspect the direction the movie would take until the very end.
(Warning: I'm a pretty tough rater. So don't let the following relatively low rating keep you from giving it a try...heheh.)
PB Rating: 6/10 |
I liked the Tom Hanks' remake especially certain details. Will have to check this 1955 movie out some time.
