The Bargee 1964


 Starring: Harry H Corbett

A canal barge Casanova is trapped into marriage.

Summer vibes with a stellar British comedy cast. Unfortunately, as watchable as this was, they just didn't gel. I never understood the appeal of Corbett with his silly voice. I very much enjoyed seeing Ronnie Barker, Eric Sykes and Derek Nimmo. Glad I watched this, brought back many memories.  6/10

St Martin's Lane 1938


 Starring: Charles Laughton

A middle-aged busker falls in love with a brilliant girl dancer who becomes a start.

What a cast, I found Laughton to be too much, Rex Harrison oozed class and Vivien Leigh was a pretty delight. London as you will never see it again.     6/10

The Lost Continent 1968

 

Starring: Eric Porter

The captain of a tramp steamer illegally carries dynamite, and he and his passengers are stranded in a weird Saragasso Sea colony run by the Spanish Inquisition.

Falls into the so bad it is goos category. Poor script, dreadful acting and gruesome death scenes just to shock. The effects and creatures met are hilarious.   5/10

The Rage Of Paris 1938

 

Starring: Danielle Darrieux

Confidence tricksters invest their money in a French girl who I out to nail a millionaire.

This started off so well, really enjoyed the first ten minute. Unfortunately, it then descended into a noisy racket with everyone talking over each other at a million miles an hour. Shame. 4/10

Dark Tide 2012

 

Starring: Halle Barry

A professional diver tutor returns to deep waters after 1 year, following an almost fatal encounter with a great white shark. The nightmare from the deep is still lurking - more carnivorous and hungry than ever.

Labelled a high octane thriller, it is anything but. Location and look are amazing with some great nature shots. The script unfortunately is dire and it is very poorly acted. No excitement at all.    4/10

Carolina 1934

 

Starring: Janet Gaynor

A Yankee farmer's daughter falls in love with a Southern plantation owner.

Very, very dated. Historically interested both in the movie itself and subject matter but barely watchable in modern times.     4/10

Escape In The Fog 1945

 

Starring: Nina Foch

A nurse sees a man attacked in a dream, and helps to save him when the events recur in real life.

Fag fog aside, this was a decent spy thriller that. moved along at a good lick with decent tension. Enjoyable start to 2025 despite a fairly lame ending.       8/10
