Intent To Kill 1958

 

Starring: Richard Todd

In a Montreal hospital, attempts are made on the life of a South American dictator recovering from a brain operation.

A little soap opera like with all the bribery, affairs etc. Comes to a decent dramatic conclusion.   6/10

My Reputation 1946

 Starring: Barbara Stanwyck

A widow is talked about for dispensing too soon with her weeds.

Some wonderful performances, Stanwyck is majestic and well backed up by the character playing her mother along with the boys playing her two sons. What she ever saw in George Brent is a bit of a mystery and the movie is strongest when he was not on screen. Brilliant acting.   8/10

Bulletproof 1987

 Starring: Gary Busey

A Los Angeles cop undertakes a dangerous mission against terrorists in Mexico.

Oh so cheesy, but Busey's character grew on me and this made me laugh out loud a couple of times. Some very suspect acting and a couple of bizarre scenes including Busey playing saxophone on a beach, but if you like shooting and explosions, this is for you.  7/10

Robbers' Roost 1955

 Starring: George Montgomery

An honest cowboy is employed by cattle rustlers and strives to Clear his name.

The locations and look of this movie are amazing, the plot is okay but raises questions and is a little lacking.     6/10

The Man On The Eiffel Tower 1949

 

Starring: Charles Laughton

A crazy killer defies Inspector Maigret to discover his identity.

Terrific views of Paris but not a single French accent in sight. Laughton is a fine actor but has this urge to always go slightly over the top. A shade predictable with a lack of tension, but the locations were a joy.    5/10

House Party 1990

Starring: Christopher Reid

A teenager, whose parents are away, throws a party for friends.

Not really for me but it has aged well, the rap battle superb and interesting movie of its time.    5/10
 

Out Of The Blue 1947

 

Starring: George Brent

A Greenwich Village artist thinks a girl who has passed out in his apartment is dead, and tries to hide the body.

Props department must have had a field day. Farce that happily goes around in circles for 85 minutes, harmless fun.   5/10
