On Dangerous Ground (1952) 9/10-
I saw Dorian Gray (2009) starring Ben Barnes as Gray, Colin Firth and Ben Chaplin. Reasonably faithful to the book and moderately interesting. Rebecca Hall as Firth's daughter (which is a departure from the book) is the best of the actresses.
One of the best B movies ever made. The first time I saw it was probably in the 1960s. BBC on Saturdays used to have a series of film noir films - this being one of them, and other times a series of Westerns.
I resaw Nine to Five (1980) starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton. Quite amusing light comedy.
Lotus (2011) 7/10
Enjo (1958) 8/10
I saw Coco avant Chanel (2009) starring Audrey Tautou. It was fair but I thought that Seraphine (2008) which was another French biopic was a much better film.
new film out called the divide a post apocalyptic (which i think ive spelt wrong) movie
gonna give it a look in a bit
i'll let you know

I saw The Shootist (1976), John Wayne's last film. I hadn't seen it before as I had assumed that it would be rather depressing being a western about a man with terminal cancer spending his last few days. I was wrong. Although the end is inevitable the film was surprisingly enjoyable and was a very good film. Quite a lot of cameos from actors, the most famous being James Stewart. The most significant roles other than Wayne's was for Lauren Bacall and Ron Howard in probably his best film acting role.
One of the cameos was from Rick Lenz. A photo of him from The Shootist:
Other have commented that he almost looked like a young James Stewart.
The Verdict (1982) 8/10
Bullet Ballet (1998) 7/10
I had to check that this wasn't the Ewan McGregor/Scarlett Johansson version but that came out in 2005 - somehow I don't think you would have given that film a 8/10 rating

You are right
I rated that film 5/10
Hel (2009) 6/10
The Awakening (2011) 4/10
I resaw Escape from Alcatraz (1979). A good straightforward prison escape drama and the last collaboration between Donald Siegel and Clint Eastwood. Eastwood learned much from Siegel in his directorial abilities.
Danny Glover made his debut in this film as one of the inmates.
Tiger Bay (1959) 9.5/10

I saw Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947). This was an experimental film directed by Hans Richter based on paintings from several people from the surreal art movement such as Man Ray, Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp.
It's a segmental film linked together by Joe as the man who creates the dreams for his clients. One of the segments has music written by John Cage. Another has music written by Paul Bowles who also wrote the book The Sheltering Sky which was filmed by Bernado Bertolucci.
Experimental films are generally so obscure that the average film viewer would be bored stiff but this film is surprisingly watchable. One segment in particular The Girl with the prefabricated heart is the standout and has a humerous touch to it. Another segment involves animated models made from pipe cleaners and I would not be surprised if it was the inspiration for Tim Burton for Nightmare before Christmas and Corpse Bride.
The film can be seen on Youtube:
