#SilverScreenStreak list #AACTABestPicture movie 2 is #HacksawRidge (2016), d. #MelGibson. Shocking bipolar war movie slops on heaps of gooey sentiment & gore, turning novel subject into grating cartoon. 2.57% @Flickchart. A new low for this #moviechallenge. Review: open.substack.com/pub/medialif...
#SilverScreenStreak list #AACTABestPicture movie 1 is #Gallipoli (1981), d. #PeterWeir. Stock antiwar movie doesn't sell profound Australian importance, but looks good & young #MelGibson radiates. 59.05% @Flickchart. Review: open.substack.com/pub/medialif...

Silver Screen Streak List #24: 04. The Woman in the Window (1944)
Silver Screen Streak List #24: 04. The Woman in the Window (1944)
#SilverScreenStreak list #CrimeThrillers movie 4 is #TheWomanintheWindow (1944), d. #FritzLang. Mostly decent film noir commits unforgivable movie sin in final moments & plunges into near worthlessness. 24.61% @Flickchart. open.substack.com/pub/medialif...
Silver Screen Streak List #24: 03. In the Line of Fire (1993)
#SilverScreenStreak list #CrimeThrillers movie 3 is #IntheLineofFire (1993), d. #WolfgangPetersen. Solid star performances from #ClintEastwood & #JohnMalkovich save prestige Hollywood thriller from misfit relationship comedy. 59.71% @Flickchart. Review: open.substack.com/pub/medialif...
Doulos: The Finger Man (1962)
#SilverScreenStreak #crimethrillers movie no. 2 is #DoulosTheFingerMan (1962), d. #JeanPierreMelville. Cool French style, but Melville is steps away from his later greatness. A footnote compared to the heights of French noir. 50.07% @Flickchart. Review: medialifecrisis.substack.com/p/doulos-the...
SILVER SCREEN STREAK LIST #24: 01. LADY SNOWBLOOD (1973)
#SilverScreenStreak #CrimeThrillers movie no. 1 is #LadySnowblood (1973), d. #ToshiyaFujita. Adventurous revenge-fueled Japanese swordsploitation is part pulp action + part interior melodrama. 81.76% @Flickchart. Review: open.substack.com/pub/medialif...
