Reviews
CinemaSerf
Amusingly set to Brahm's "Hungarian Dances" we see the three little pigs build their houses of straw; of wood (well, matches!) and of brick before the "Big Bad Wolf" arrives, in his best "Taras Bulba" style, to lure the little piggies to their doom. The rest pretty much follows the fairy tale and is quickly paced and fun to watch as he huffs and puffs (and is given some mouthwash) - but can he outsmart the pigs and get into the brick house?

The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat1896-06-30A group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.More...
