Newest Review: ... less blind, because although I'd heard of it before, I'd no idea what it was about. The initial scene is set quite well, ... more
... with the wide-eyed 12-year-old Amy taking pity on McBurney who she spots whilst she is out gathering mushrooms. From the point where he enters the tiny little school out in the backwoods, I thought the film was going to become tediously predictable, but it actually turned out to be the opposite.
At first, all of the acting seems merely average, but as the storyline progresses, each of the absolute main cast members come out of their shells and do themselves proud, particularly Clint Eastwood - who drops both his tacitur...more

That is one scary promo for the film of The Beguiled that Dooyoo have reproduced for us here. Try not to let it put you off watching the film, it's actually rather good. Eastwood plays a soldier on the run during the civil war. He's badly wounded, apparently in the middle of nowhere, and then he finds a large house. Now this isn't just a large house, it's a school for young ladies, or at least those whose parents aspire for them to become young ladies. In desperate need, he stumbles in on them and the story begins. This is really a tale about one man among a dozen or so females, who wreaks havoc on their hormone levels. A variety of ...

Invariably, and inaccurately described as a western, when it is more like a gothic horror than anything else. Eastwood may come from a Civil War milieu, an injured soldier taking refuge in a girl's seminary, but this is a world away from his own post-Civil War picture 'The Outlaw Josie Wales', and he leaves the western behind. The closeted, repressed emotions of the women in the school (including the estimable Geraldine Page) soon hope to find romantic outlets in the male outsider, and Eastwood's character responds by attempting to manipulate the female group to his own ends. Suffice to say, it all goes wrong for his macho machinations in the ... Read the complete review

I saw this film when I was a student nurse and had not yet had the pleasure of witnessing an amputation. A soldier in the civil war, Clint Eastwood gets injured and is kept in a house by some women...not quite like Misery, they didn't have typewriters in those days. The most memorable part of the film is the amputation. His leg gets really gammy, they didn't have antibiotics then either, so he needs to have it off. If you are squeamish this bit is not for you, unless you like the sound of bone being sawed. That part of the film lived with me for a long time. I dreaded ever going in to theatre to watch someone have a limb cut ... Read the complete review
