BabyJane’s Film Reviews

31 Films have been rated or reviewed by BabyJane.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978): A retelling of a classic movie. Builds on the original with great special effects (the pod people) and just twists the ending to keep it fresh.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956): Love this one. Quite sophisticated for its time and very memorable. First saw it when I was very young and never tire of it.
All About Eve (1950)
Machete (2010): Plenty of blood and guts and other stuff. Probably best viewed as a comedy.
Phantom of the Opera (1928): Sooo different from the other versions I've seen, including the musical. Also strange to have a film based on the love of music with no sound whatsoever. No background organ, nothing. Lon Chaney is great; Christine annoying.
Nun's Story, The (1958): No great surprises or plot twists, just a solid tale of a nun's life.
All That Jazz (1979): I'm one of the ones who would say self–indulgent. A repellent character, but a marvellous piece of acting by Roy Scheider. didn't know he had it in him.
Producers, The (1968): The characters are a joy. I could watch Gene Wilder's face all day.
Killers, The (1946): A brooding and masterful piece of noir. The flashbacks are a really deft touch and the twists and turns deeply satisfying.
Drowning by Numbers (1987): Poster (VG) $12.95
