Silent Film Week! The Dentist Movie Review

The Dentist Movie Review

Not My Favorite Charlie Chaplin Film, But Still Good

So, The Dentist is a 1914 Charlie Chaplin film and obviously one of his early works. It's not my personal favorite, but it's still somewhat comical.
The film centers around the problems going on at a dentists office.
It's a pretty short film clocking in at under 15 minutes. Like I mentioned above, the movie was released in 1914. Just think about it for a moment, you're watching a movie that's over 100 years old and the comedy still holds up, how many modern films will be able to say that in 100 years?
As always, Charlie Chaplin gave a fantastic performance. He got better as he got older, but his younger self was still pretty good. 
The camera work was pretty good for the time. The music had such a classic ring to it, you know you've heard it before.
Overall, The Dentist is a nice little short film from Charlie Chaplin.



final score: 3.8/5

When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
