THE HAUNTING
 All Critics (45) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (39) | Rotten (6)
 An elegantly sinister scare movie, literate and expensive (though basically a traditional ghost story), with those two fine actresses Claire Bloom and Julie Harris.

 TOP CRITIC
 Wise brilliantly uses black and white widescreen to strand his characters in odd-shaped rooms or corridors, making the watcher’s eye skitter frantically over the letterbox screen to catch every ingeniously rendered detail.

 When The Haunting digs into the internals of its story, summons its spirits and lets them play havoc with cold reason, it has a power and fervor unmatched by any film ghost stories.

 Pretty effective when it came out; it may be a little stiff in the joints by now, but it’s still a much better scare show than the recent stinker remake.

 The Haunting endures as a horror classic, albeit one that doesnt quite the credit it deserves as an unusual queer love story. Heres a movie both scary and romantic as Hell.

 The horror stories filled with monsters and dripping blood are just kid stuff in comparison with this skillfully made thriller.

 For the possible overuse of internal monologues and Julie Harris’ overwrought but riveting performance as Eleanor, The Haunting still stands up as a relevant and effective study of both the psychology and parapsychology of its themes.

 …one of the most fascinating aspects of The Haunting is the multiple interpretations available for many events, which might be supernatural, or might be the product of a disturbed mind or distorted perceptions.

Critics Consensus

Featuring plenty of the humor, action, and escapist thrills the series would become known for, Dr. No kicks off the Bond franchise in style
 

Audience Consensus

Dr. No is the OG Bond movie that started it all, and boy, does it show. While it may seem a bit quaint compared to the later films, it’s still a fun ride full of action, espionage, and Sean Connery’s suave charm. Plus, who doesn’t love a good villain with a secret island lair? It’s the perfect movie to kick back with a martini (shaken, not stirred) and enjoy some classic spy movie goodness.

Critics Consensus

Review 1: “This movie was terrible. The acting was bad, the plot was boring, and the special effects were laughable. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.”

Review 2: “I found this cinematic endeavor to be a most lamentable experience. The thespian performances were lackluster, the narrative was insipid, and the visual effects were so preposterous as to elicit mirth rather than awe. I cannot in good conscience suggest this film to any discerning viewer.”

Review 3: “This movie was a complete waste of time. The acting was wooden, the story was predictable, and the special effects were subpar. Save yourself the trouble and skip this one.”

Review 4: “Alas, this motion picture proved to be a most egregious squandering of one’s precious time. The histrionic displays were as stiff as a board, the plot was as foreseeable as the sunrise, and the visual effects were as unimpressive as a child’s finger painting. I implore you, dear reader, to abstain from this cinematic atrocity.”

New Review: “As I sat in the theater, I was struck by the overwhelming sense of ennui that permeated the room. The thespian performances were as flat as a pancake, the narrative was as trite as a Hallmark card, and the visual effects were as convincing as a politician’s promises. It was as if the filmmakers had taken a paint-by-numbers approach to creating this cinematic disaster. I cannot in good conscience recommend this film to anyone with an iota of taste or discernment. Save your time and money, and opt for a more stimulating activity, such as watching paint dry or grass grow.
 

Audience Consensus

Review 1: “The food was delicious and the service was great. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice night out.”

Review 2: “I had a fantastic time at this restaurant! The food was so good, I wanted to lick the plate clean. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was perfect for a romantic date or a fun night out with friends. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a great time!”

Review 3: “This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was outstanding. I felt like a VIP the entire time I was there. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes!”

New Review: “Holy moly, this restaurant is the real deal! The food was so good, I almost shed a tear. The service was on point, and the vibe was just right. Whether you’re looking for a romantic night out or a fun time with friends, this place has got you covered. I’m already planning my next visit, and I’m drooling just thinking about it. Do yourself a favor and check it out ASAP!

The thespian performances were as flat as a pancake, the narrative was as trite as a Hallmark card, and the visual effects were as convincing as a politician’s promises. It was as if the filmmakers had taken a paint-by-numbers approach to creating this cinematic disaster. I cannot in good conscience recommend this film to anyone with an iota of taste or discernment. Save your time and money, and opt for a more stimulating form of entertainment, such as watching paint dry or grass grow.
 

Audience Consensus

Review 1: “The acting in this movie was superb. The characters were well-developed and the plot was engaging. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.”

Review 2: “I loved the cinematography in this film. The shots were beautifully composed and the use of color was stunning. It was like watching a work of art come to life.”

Review 3: “The soundtrack for this movie was incredible. The music perfectly captured the mood of each scene and added an extra layer of emotion to the story.”

New Review: “Holy cow, this movie was a rollercoaster ride of emotions! The acting was so good, I felt like I was right there with the characters. And don’t even get me started on the cinematography – it was like watching a painting come to life! But the real MVP was the soundtrack. I mean, I was tapping my foot and humming along the whole time. Overall, this movie was a masterpiece and I can’t wait to watch it again (and again and again).

Critics Consensus

Bombastic and occasionally silly but extravagantly entertaining, Cecil B. DeMille’s all-star spectacular is a muscular retelling of the great Bible story
 

Audience Consensus

The Ten Commandments is like the ultimate Sunday school lesson on steroids. It’s got everything you could want in a biblical epic: Charlton Heston parting the Red Sea, a golden calf, and even some good old-fashioned sibling rivalry. Sure, the dialogue can be a bit cringey at times, but who cares when you’re watching a cast of thousands in stunning Technicolor? Plus, you can’t deny that Cecil B. DeMille knew how to put on a show. It’s a classic for a reason, folks.

Movie Info

Storyline

To escape the edict of Egypt’s Pharaoh Rameses I (Ian Keith), condemning all newborn Hebrew males, the infant Moses (Fraser C. Heston) is set adrift on the Nile in a reed basket. Saved by the pharaoh’s daughter Bithiah (Nina Foch), he is adopted by her and brought up in the court of her brother, Pharaoh Sethi (Sir Cedric Hardwicke). Moses (Charlton Heston) gains Sethi’s favor and the love of the throne Princess Nefretiri (Anne Baxter), as well as the hatred of Sethi’s son, Rameses II (Yul Brynner). When his Hebrew heritage is revealed, Moses is cast out of Egypt, and makes his way across the desert where he marries, has a son, and is commanded by God to return to Egypt to free the Hebrews from slavery. In Egypt, Moses’ fiercest enemy proves to be not Rameses II, but someone near to him who can “harden his heart”.

 There is no other picture like it. There will be none. If it could be summed up in a word, the word would be sublime. And the man responsible for that, when all is said and done is Cecil B. DeMille.

Critics Consensus

It may be too sweet for some, but this unabashedly sentimental holiday favorite is too cheerful to resist
 

Audience Consensus

White Christmas is the perfect holiday movie to watch with your family, especially if you want to see Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye sing and dance their way into your heart. Sure, it’s a bit cheesy and syrupy, but that’s what makes it so charming! Plus, the Technicolor and VistaVision make everything look so pretty, you’ll feel like you’re in a winter wonderland. So grab some hot cocoa, snuggle up with a blanket, and get ready to sing along to “White Christmas” for the millionth time.

Critics Consensus

Melodrama at its most confident, The Bad and the Beautiful is an ode to moviemaking that offers unblinking insight into the ugly egos that have shaped Hollywood history
 

Audience Consensus

The Bad and the Beautiful is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. Some critics loved it, some hated it, and some were just plain confused. But one thing’s for sure, this film is a wild ride through the ups and downs of Hollywood. With a star-studded cast and a gossipy screenplay, it’s a melodramatic masterpiece that will keep you on the edge of your seat. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show – just don’t forget to hold your nose, because the smell of Hollywood with the lid off is not for the faint of heart!

 Though some of the characters may be bad and others beautiful, few are either real or believable.

 As a study of Hollywood the film is not particularly observant. It has gumption but no imagination. It draws attention to false values but does not put them in their place.

 TOP CRITIC
 Douglas’ teeth-clenched, dimple-thrusting megalomaniac is among his best work, while the gossipy screenplay (another Oscar winner) is served wonderfully by Minnelli’s lush melodramatics.

 Bad proves Minnelli to be one of the most assured and powerful names in the world of cinematic melodrama, and his ability to bring to the genre the sense of tension found more often in noir pictures, really makes this film a singular and esoteric entrant.

 The Bad and the Beautiful is a lot of film, and seems always on the verge of getting somewhere. But it never does.

 MGM gathered together a galaxy of stars… and to my mind attempted to make another All About Eve. Instead, they just made another film with one of the most incoherent stories I’ve ever tried to decipher.

 If this is Hollywood with the lid off, the smell is not pleasant, but it is certainly powerful, and i strongly urge you to take a sniff.

 Although a good deal less penetrating in its close-up of “the real Hollywood” than it pretends to be, this is a smooth and enjoyable comedy-drama.

 The film gets full marks for dialogue and full marks for direction by Vincente Minnelli.

Series Info
Oscar and Emmy winner Kevin Costner is the marquee attraction of the ensemble cast in this drama series, starring as the patriarch of a powerful, complicated family of ranchers. A sixth-generation homesteader and devoted father, John Dutton controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. He operates in a corrupt world where politicians are compromised by influential oil and lumber corporations and land grabs make developers billions. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect, Dutton’s property is in constant conflict with those it borders — an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.
Starring: Kevin Costner, Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser

It’s 30 years in the future and the family has been chosen to start a new life in a space colony. On the way to what they believe will be a better world, the Robinsons’ ship is abruptly thrown off course and they are thrown into a dangerous alien environment. Now light-years from their original destination, they must forge new alliances and work together to survive. Stranded with the Robinsons are unsettlingly charismatic Dr. Smith and inadvertently charming Don West, two outsiders who are thrown together by circumstance and a mutual knack for deception.
