A grim lesson on the dangers of microdosing. And steamboat navigation. And hurricanes. But really microdosing.
Forbidden love, Buster’s expressionless stoneface, and the most bonkers storm sequence in cinema history. Definitely worth watching.
Not as action packed as The General, but those last ten minutes are nuts. Features the famous “house falls on buster” shot.
I guess I’m pretty simple. A couple good pratfalls and a couple good punches is all it takes to crack me up. Funny and entertaining!
A classic silent comedy from old Buster Keaton. If you're a fan of old silent films then you'll enjoy this one.
Another perfectly entertaining comedy classic from Buster Keaton.
The climax is iconic and still impressive. The rest is a bit meh.
The script has the good sense to be worthwhile and still steps back to let Keaton do his thing. Not his best work, but good nonetheless.
It is a funny movie, and if you look past the old-time makeup this story would be exactly the same were it to happen today.
Filled with great stunts, and great acting by Keaton.
