Reviews - Session 9 and Rio Bravo
Oct. 13th, 2008 10:25 amOn Sunday we watched:
Session 9 set at Danver State Mental Hospital (and using the actual buildings as the set) which is a perfect location for this kind of movie. A dark brooding film, playing on dread and fear, not shock. The film's continuity and cinamatography are both superb, the acting is solid and even if the plot did not sell me 100% it is still worth watching for the scenery and the technique. My Grade: B-
Rio Bravo, a classic western starring John Wayne, Angie Dickinson, Dean Martin (!) and Ricky Martin (!!!). A bit long but otherwise excellent, with Wayne as the sheriff and the other as the people who help him. Excellent character interaction, great scenes where the characters screw up and then think and fight their way out of it. Just really, really solid. My Grade: B/B+
