Movie Review: Niagara


Ok, for starters. Max Showalter...what the fuck. Very likely the most annoying person I've ever watched on film. He played 1/2 of the "idyllic couple". No WAY that dude could have ever gotten that babe (Jean Peters) even though she was annoying.

I pretty much only watched this movie because I heard it was MM's sluttiest film. Joyce Carol Oates seemed to think it formed her persona for the rest of her career. On that note, MM is pretty much a bad ass in this movie (although she's pretty dumb too-but wears fuschia dresses so its ok).

Overall its not bad for an old-timey thriller. I like the fact that it takes place at Niagara Falls, it adds a little bit of intrigue and they use some cool shots and water gushing noises.

And one last thing to add. This movie had a good ending, but the WORST last line ever.

I'll leave you with this,
Police Cpt: "I bet that was the first time anyone ever used, 'scuttle it' as a prayer."
Annoying Husband: "And had it answered!"
Together: Cheesy laugh

Ummm........

  2. You know how Keira Knightley bites when she talkes in movies? Marilyn Monroe kisses when she talks. Really fucking weird.

  3. Marilyn makes super kissy faces when she talks! Also, have you watched her eyebrows move? Also fascinating.
