Marche Ordinaire (1895)
Directed by Etienne-Jules Marey this is an early short film. A clip of a man walking.
Very simple in concept and content, just a man walking side on. Image quality is pretty good for the age of the film. Not a huge amount to this one.
3/5
Insects (1891)
Directed by Etienne-Jules Marey this is an early short film. A clip of some insects.
Unfortunately this clip is way too short to really make out what is happening or the details. The image quality is okay but the content too brief. Wish it was even a second longer.
2/5
Chat En Chute Libre (1894)
Directed by Ettiene-Jules Marey this is an early short film. Another short of a chat being dropped and landing on its feet.
How many dropped cat films does one man need to make? Image quality was not a the greatest, a bit fuzzy. Repetitive content.
2/5
Cheval (Bixio). Pas Monte (1890)
Directed by Etienne-Jules Marey and Georges Demeny this is an early short film. A horse and rider pass through the frame.
A very short clip of a horse in motion. Surprisingly good image quality for the period of the film. Nice and clear as to what is going on.
3/5
Thieves Highway (2025)
Directed by Jesse V Johnson this film stars Aaron Eckhart, Lucy Martin and Devon Sawa. A cattle inspector attempts to stop cow thieves in Oklahoma.
Essentially this is a classic western set in modern times. Does not work great and the writing is paper thin at best. Not worth seeking out for even the most ardent Aaron Eckhart fan.
2/5
Escrime (1890)
Directed by Etienne-Jules Marey this is an early short film. Two men fence.
A nice little short that captures some action. The image quality is surprisingly good, if not perfect on this one, given the age. Better than his other fencing short.
3/5
Rabbits (1893)
Directed by Etienne- Jules Marey this is an early short film. A rabbit is dropped.
We never see the animal land as far as I can tell which rather cuts this one short. Not as good as the cat one in my opinion. Fairly decent image quality.
2/5
