Which movie did you watch today and how would you rate it?

I wasn't expecting to enjoy "Frida", for some unknown reason.

Loved it. 5/5

I watched a silent online, The Stolen Play from 1917, starring Ruth Roland, who was mostly known for serials. This thing runs 59 minutes, and the print quality is near perfect. It is also unusually foolish, even for 1917. All about hypnosis, murder, and a Broadway agent who has a dungeon room in his basement. In other words, what used to be called camp. For laughs, try to decide who is giving the worst performance -- my vote went to Lucy Blake, who plays the villain's ex-lover. For more laughs, look at the awful women's fashions and hair styles on display. For these poor actresses, the 20s couldn't come soon enough.
