Swamp Water (1941)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 21, 2024
A place with a name like Okefenokee feels immanently American and this is an inherently American story though expatriate Jean Renoir feels sympathetic to these types of folks.

Avatar: The Way of Water
The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Jan 30, 2023
Personally, I enjoy James Cameron’s Avatar films more than I like to admit. I geek out over the technical achievements, the stunning visuals, the unique combination of motion capture acting and CGI. Most of all, the Avatar movies are incredibly immersive. They’re truly an escape that I don’t mind read more

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 21, 2019
Carole Lombard spent quite a bit of screen time in or around water in 1937.

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 24, 2018
So while Yvonne Dario is still consoling Yvette Andréyor about deceiving her–again, it’s not clear how much of the blame Dario takes on herself, which should be a lot since she made René Cresté vow to kill Andréyor’s father–Cresté goes off to save Andréyor’s father. On the way, he meets read more
The Shape of Water
The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Jan 25, 2018
Guillermo del Toro is the kind of director that can bring the most strange and implausible scenarios to life with such detail and beauty that we wholeheartedly believe in them. He is the sort of visionary that can manipulate our suspension of disbelief perfectly for his ideas. In The Shape of Water, read more

Swamp Water (1941) with Walter Huston and Walter Brennan
Classic Film Freak Posted by Orson De Welles on Mar 17, 2016
Share This!1941’s Swamp Water is a great example of the product not coming as advertised. From the title and the promotional materials, including the theatrical poster, you’d think this is a typically substandard B-grade horror picture. Granted, those sometimes schlocky horror pictures can be read more
