Eh, I always thought Lynch was pretty meh. I liked Blue Velvet quite a bit. But I hated Eraserhead (though I liked the man in the planet or whatever), and Dune was just embarrassing and abysmal. He's um, ok...I guess, sometimes.
Not the best Capra film out there, but it's ok. It's pretty witty and has some quick dialogue that's fun and humorous. The story itself is a little eyerolling and predictable by today's standards. But there are some good bits in there that keep it interesting. The film is actually kind of sexist, or at the least chauvinistic. Clark Gable is kind of a dick for alot of the movie with some peppered moments of kindness. And Claudette Colbert just kind of acts like an idiot the whole movie. Nowhere near the best Capra film, but it's an alright picture for what it is.
Probably one of my least liked Bette Davis films, but it's still got some alright moments. This movie really kind of defines the 'collection of scenes' idea when it comes to movies. It really alot of time is just a bunch of moments one after another. There are a number of scenes in the film that last barely ten seconds and they're pretty numerous. The best part of the film I guess is Bette's transformation from a really ugly fat lady to a total knockout fox. Which is another thing that bothered me about the film. I felt that the film wasn't really sure what it was supposed to be about. The film starts off about Charlotte trying to libere herself from her really oppressive mom, and I would've imagined that would've been what the core of the movie could've been about, but it's really more of a subplot, it's really just kind of weird the priorities of this movie. Wow, this was long, sorry.
