The Riddle Of The Stinson 1988
Starring: Norman Kaye
In 1937, a farmer goes to the rescue of survivors of a plane crash in inaccessible country.
Slow moving, a little bit dour and left lets of unanswered questions. Quite interesting though. 6/10

You Must Be Joking 1965
Assorted army personnel vie in an extended initiative test.
Stellar comedy cast but I just found it all a little silly, I must be getting old. 4/10

The Road To Denver 1955
Starring: John Payne
An honest ranch hand gets into trouble when he tries to help his lawless brother.
Standard good brother, bd brother movie. Well done though, the older brother a particularly interesting character with a back story, the tip of which only is touched. Decent ending too. 7/10

Heartburn 1986
Starring: Meryl Streep
Romantic problems of a busy professional couple.
Spending 105 minutes watching a couple have marital problems is not great entertainment, regardless of how strong the acting is. Some good scenes but movie looks more dated than those made 30 years previously. 5/10

The Young Land. 1957
Starring: Dan O'Herlihy
A young sheriff arrests a gunman and after the trial has to save him from lynching.
Fairly standard Western, the young sheriff who rules in an unconventional way made a nice change and gave the movie its USP. 5/10

Candy Mountain 1987
Starring: Kevin J O'Connor
An enterprising musician goes in search of a reclusive guitar-maker.
Slow moving road movie, mainly dysfunctional characters and yet somehow, I stayed with it. I'm sure this has a cult fanbase..... 5/10
