Non-Stop (2014)

A thriller that does it right by keeping the audience guessing. Taut action, no stupid characters, and a few good laughs thrown in. A rollicking good time! Neeson scores again. 8/10

The Lost Episode (2012) aka "Pennhurst"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1720189/

A really odd movie that mixes up several strands and suffers accordingly.
A group of students visit an abandoned asylum and one proceeds to tell of a reality TV ghost hunting crew that visited the asylum the previous year and vanished.
The scenes with the TV crew make up the bulk of the movie but it keeps flashing forward to the present for more inane details from the idiot story teller.

I just finished watching this one, enjoyed it a great deal. I did wonder, though, what the British thought of Hathaway's accent - she seemed to do a good job to me, but then 'English' is not my mother (or father) tongue.

Anne Hathaway does a posh British accent quite plausibly; I didn't hear anything incongruous in it. The real test is to be able to sustain it for a long period and remain consistent in tone; continuity. Accents are a valuable acting skill and I think she has the skill.

The film borrows heavily from Miss Austen's novels and makes her character somewhat analagous to that of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. It is not a film about Jane Austen, but merely a story about a woman called Jane Austen who ended up unmarried and writing novels. Even in the 1790s when wives were a luxury strictly reserved for men who could afford to support one, I have my doubts that someone who looked as good as Ann Hathaway looks and has the sheer class of her character would have never found love, even though she felt unable to run off with her first choice. Many people who settle for second best end up thanking their lucky stars they chose right, and I think someone as extremely pretty as Ann Hathaway is in this film would have had other opportunities.

Rear Window (1954)

Seeing one of Hitch's best was the perfect way to augment Oscar day. Amazing how this simple story effortlessly flows and involves. And what a vision that Grace Kelly is. Probably my 3rd or 4th viewing, but the first time on the big screen. 10/10

Blood Glacier aka The Station (2013) or "Blutgletscher" (original title)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2299206/

Scientists investigating why a glacier in the German Alps is shrinking come across a large patch of red coloured ice which turns out to be an organism that mutates DNA.

In German with English subtitles - so far so good

Room service 1938 Marx brothers.

Genious.

The Thirteenth Guest (1932)

Creaky little "Old Dark House" number features Ginger Rogers as one of a dozen family members standing between a murderer and a sizeable inheritance. Notable for having one of the dumbest cop characters this side of Nat Pendleton, but he does deliver a hilarious pre-Code one liner near the end. 6/10
