Film Reviews

Cabiria (1919). Directed by Franz Shinz
Not much of a film The first silent blah blah, because therefore, it seemed genteel elan, not withstanding, because it is and that is why I can't say. Hererofore, what, perchance if it were, then oh me. It's kinda crazy that way in that no one saw the fire or the car. Why did we go? Why were we there? We drove home and no one talked at all. I guess it would have been about 1935 and I was not working (of course). We built a house out of chewing gum and leftover hair from the bathtub drain. I thought it was gross too, but after a while, I kind of started to like it.

To continue, it wasn't an awful thing or even terribly damaging. Film at that time was just beginning to become something more than just mere entertianment. Audiences seemed to go to theatres as a sort of novelty.AAAA BBBBB CC AAAA HHHHH MMMMM NNNN.

Les Vampires (1915). Directed by Ollie Howardnoff.
Again we have it here. No one else wants. Wait... In black, then white, we saw how it was, all silent around the mice with feet only creeping. The shadow, then, only it. It,,,,it. People were talking around the street as they walked. They grabbed a cigarette from the dead guy. They thought it looked really cool that way but others thought it looked ridiculous. They were pushed further back into the dark and the music moved everyone forward in one huge rush. This is meant to take space. We determine the length of these reviews by the amount of words it takes to write a short background of the film, a plot summary and then the person's thoughts and comments, personal reflections and that kind of, oh, exercise of the ego.

Again, not especially riveting or innovative, but to some extent, was the first to utilize such a technique in film. View other silents at the time and you'd find a similar style to this.
