Quatermass ii 1957


Starring: Brian Donlevy

A research station operating under military secrecy is supposed to be making synthetic foods, but is in fact an acclimatization centre for invaders from outer space.

Sci-fi, slight horror B-movie, Acting isn't up to much and sets are a bit wobbly. But keep going until the end as the last 10 minutes are positively hilarious.      6/10

The Onion field 1979


Starring: John Savage

Two policeman are shot by a manic killer, and the one who survives finds that he is suspected of cowardice and has to resign from the force.

There's something about true stories that let you buy into what you're seeing on screen. This is a harrowing and yet captivating, tragic story. James Woods is truely terrifying as the psychotic killer. I went straight on to read more about this case. Beautifully put together.       9/10

The Town went wild 1945


Starring: Freddie Bartholomew

Feuding next door neighbours have children in love.

A surprising little gem. Although some of the parents feuding got on your nerves, the other characters helped soften the movie and were very likeable. A pacy plot, humourous moments when the children have to move next door after finding out they they were swapped at birth and a well thought out & satisfactory ending. This actually made me laugh out loud and was good fun.       8/10
