Twenty million miles to Earth

Starring: William Hopper

An American rocket ship returning from Venus breaks open and a scaly monster escapes into the Mediterranean and is cornered in the Coliseum.

Quite good fun and some of the effects are not at all bad. These monsters never get cornered in a small side street in Belgium, always a famous landmark!     6/10

The Conversation 1974

Starring: Gene Hackman

A bugging device expert lives only for his work, but finally develops a conscience.

Had real potential but became too complex. All people really ant is a good story that is easy to follow. Is that really so difficult?       3/10

Storm in a teacup 1937

Starring: Vivien Leigh

A national sensation ensues when a Scottish provost fines an old lady for not licensing her dog, and sh refuses to pay.

Seems odd in this day to see a movie about a ntional outcry caused due to non-payment of a dog licence. But this film had an easy charm and some amusing moments. Vivien Leigh and Rex Harrison were both good value despite Harrison having panda like eyes in his opening scene.       6/10

Now voyager 1942

Starring: Bette Davis

A dowdy frustrated spinster takes the psychiatric cure and embarks on a doomed love affair.

Over-long family drama. Bette Davis turns in a superb performance and is terrific in showing the changes in her personality. The best scenes are with the matriarch mother who acts her scenes brilliantly and is the most awful character.   4/10
