A superb, honest, tender romantic comedy of manners, which features acting today's performers would be hard to match. You can laugh and feel for these characters. Ernst Lubitsch's smart direction keeps the movie always interesting, never dated.
"The Marriage Circle" should be required viewing for today's filmmakers. They'd learn how to reveal characters in emotionally complicated situations with minimum dialogue. And how to tell a story with minimum dialogue. And be funny.

At best, "Shrek" is a good, but not great, fairy tale. It's noteworthy for its charming anti-Disney satire, Eddie Murphy's hilarious donkey, some delightful surprises and many uproarious bits. An 8 out of 10, but with a major reservation:
"Shrek's" super-realistic computer animation gets annoying and tiring. What's the point of imitating real-life, when conventional movies -- with some special effects -- can do it more effectively? This story and these characters would have been better served with hand-drawn, clay or plastic animation (as in "The Iron Giant" or "Chicken Run," or see the brilliant 1950s and 1960s stuff by John and Faith Hubley). Excessively realistic computer animation takes away from the fantasy.
Back to the drawing board!

Conventional film noir melodrama is notable for ice black visuals and Raymond Burr's soft-spoken, hulking bad guy.
Film hurt by too-simple story, without the existential undertones that marked film noir at its best. But look of the film -- those rich shadows; creamy, sometimes violent whites; sharp camera angles and moving camera -- help a lot. Burr is a scary, almost psycho, but frighteningly low-keyed, bully boy.
Turner's print of RKO original looked great on TMC. Note how much it crams into about 75 minutes. I give it 6 out of 10.
