Starring: Seymour Hicks
A miser reforms after ghosts haunt him on Christmas eve.
What better way to start Christmas morning? A version of scrooge that I hadn't seen. It doesn't bring much new to the table & Tiny Tim is a little too sprightly for me. But this is a timeless classic and it still made me feel good at the end. 7/10
Starring: Jason Patric
Vampiric bikers corrupt Innocent teenagers.
At the risk of becoming hugely unpopular, I don't get this interest i vampires. Every new programme coming out seems to be vampire related & it's just, oh so boring. This was on the comedy channel & I'm thinking of doing them under trade descriptions as it never once made me smile, let alone laugh. I suppose that the amosphere was well depicted an I know there's a market for this, it just wasn't for me. 3/10
Starring: Ralph Richardson
A secret ray helps spies to steal test aircraft during proving flights.
With Richardson & Olivier, how had I never heard of this movie? The acting was terrific as you would expect & the premise was way ahead of its time. Occasionally witty, the movie got bogged down with too much chat and not enough variation. The climax had some nice action and the ending also raised a smile. An interesting movie to watch. 4/10
