Barely missed the live results. A rare HoF as I didn't hate a single nomination, and had 5/11 rated as good movies. Here's my ballot with the final ratings I ended up putting on IMDb and Letterboxd:...

I'll start Angel Heart with my old review from two years back.

Re: Film Noir HoF III

I just rewatched Angel Heart so I'm finished with the films. I'll have to re-read my old review but most likely I'll just copy it here and add some additional observations from this viewing. Then...

I don't remember anything wrong with the latter half of the film. On the other hand, I'm most likely more into that supernatural and horror crap than you.

And I didn't even know it was X rated....

I agree about de Niro. It's easily the worst performance of the film. I still need to do my rewatch before going for more details.

Re: Film Noir HoF III

Oh, Citizen Rules you've typoed Double Indemnity in my review listing (and I even checked my review and it's correct there so it's not a clever jab :D ).

Re: Film Noir HoF III

I just watched The Third Man. I loved how the film looked but found it otherwise little underwhelming. We'll see if it grows on me while I'm writing the review. Now I only need to rewatch my own...

Re: Film Noir HoF III

I watched The Asphalt Jungle today. Like many others, it was OK. It's going to be a pain to order my vote. Anyway, a proper review in a few days.

Re: Film Noir HoF III

I just watched L.A. Confidential. Deeper (or at least wordier) thoughts in near future but to put it short, I mostly liked it (needed to get that out of the way as my review is likely to delve in the...

Re: Film Noir HoF III

Just finished Spellbound. Apologies to Hitchcock, but this was probably my least favorite film in this HoF this far.

EDIT: What newer film replicates the overture intro from this (it may have been...

Re: Film Noir HoF III

The main reason why I had to (hastily) finish that previous review is that I don't want to have multiple HoF reviews waiting. In other words, I just watched The Big Heat. It will accompany Double...
