Well Deserved Praise
i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

View MoreBabies Rolling Eggs (1902) Edison film showing several kids rolling eggs in some sort of contest but a fight soon breaks out (I'm guessing staged) when the kids want to be on camera.Auto Boat Race on the Hudson (1904) Edison short with G.W. Bitzer on camera (apparently loaned out by Biograph) shows two speed boats racing down the Hudson. The most interesting thing about this film is how the technology then led to a pretty boring race as the camera tracking can never keep up with the boats, which leads to various edits in the action.Atlantic City Floral Parade (1904) Edison short once again showing a parade full of kids and adults.Bathing at Atlantic City (1901) Edison short shot on the boardwalk as we see hundreds of people bathing (ala swimming) in the Atlantic. Very good camera work for this time.Buffalo Fire Department in Action (1897) Edison short showing horses and buggies rushing into action. There are some terrific shots of the horses and firemen coming towards the camera.Buffalo Police on Parade (1897) Edison short showing the entire Buffalo, NY police in a parade. I guess this would have been a good time for someone to rob a bank.
