Too many four stars, too few three stars, and not three and a half stars.

As a movie from the 1980s, it's plausible on the whole, but it's not a masterpiece. There is no place to be particularly tense or scary. The plot is relatively compact, although there are many loopholes. The heroine's acting...

House of Games is an old film, filmed in the 1980s, and its classification is thriller. I can't talk about this plot because it won't be thrilling. All in all, this is a story of a beauty and a liar. The heroine is a female psychologist. Like Kelly Chen in Hong Kong's "Infernal Affairs", a...

I like the films in the 80s very much. They are in line with the aesthetics of people born in the 80s like me. I really like the retro images and soothing tunes of this film. This is a unique imprint of that era.

The amount of information conveyed by the story is still very large. One of the details...

My motivation for watching this movie is rather strange, because I heard that Kubrick mentioned this movie during the screenwriting stage of "Eye Opener" and expressed appreciation. Screenwriter Frederic Rapheal recalled: Kubrick told me that he admired David Mamet's House of Games. Was he hinting...

David Mamet's House of Games is one of the few shocking works I have seen recently. I tried to search for the bits and pieces about it in my memory, because the hero and the heroine in the film are so familiar, and I guessed/remembered the end of it in the middle of the film, I have to wonder if I...

Looking at the cover, the 1987 film said that it was a female doctor who studied human behavior and wrote a best-selling book. One of her gambler patients said that she was in danger of life, unless she could return to the casino. For gambling debts, she went to the casino alone to meet with...

The motivation for watching this film comes from two points. I have read "Directing Homework" by Ma Mei published by Yuanliu and CC released the DVD of this film last year. Unfortunately, there are two points in my feelings after watching: Ma Mei's screenwriter is still as mediocre as the...

More than ten years ago, the Hong Kong film released on the district TV station on Saturday night, Leung Ka-fai as a gambler, and Carina Lau as a dancer, must be plagiarism from house of games. The plot is still fresh in my memory. To me at the time, the turn of the story was really shocking. I...

The movie "Casino" is actually a bit different. The endless fairy jumping stories of "The King of Thousand Kings" are very commercial mainstream. For example, in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, movies of the same theme often appeared, but "Casino" is telling this story. At that time, there were...
