The Westerner 1940

Starring: Gary Cooper

Judge Roy Bean comes to grief through his love for Lily Langtry.

Sorry to say that I just found this plain dull, really never ignited any interest and no character ever seemed to get animated at any point in the movie.            2/10

The Karate kid Part 11 1986

Starring: Ralph Macchio

Daniel's teacher heads back to Okinawa where his father is gravely ill.

The original Karate kid holds fond memories, this doesn't quite live up to it. It's all a little pointless, the plot and acting is decidedly second rate and the pantomime villain character just gets irritating in the end. Still watchable though.                 6/10

Village at the end of the World 2012

Documentary

Village At The End Of The World is a witty, surprising and ultimately feel good portrait of an isolated village of 59 people and 100 sledge dogs, surviving against the odds.

With the purchase of a new film book, I'm now watching movies more recent than 1991 for the first time. What a wonderful way to start, this documentary moves you in so many ways. Humanity being as close to wild animals in many ways but without brutality, just nature. Stunning photography and absolutely fascinating.                    10/10

I know where I'm going 1945

Starring: Wendy Hiller

A determined girl travels to the Hebrides to marry a wealthy old man, but is stranded on Mull and marries a young naval officer instead.

Lost a bit over time, but harmless viewing with some stunning locations and amusing to hear the clipped tones. The storm scene in the boat was actually quite effective and a loved the old lady who was the radio operator.                  4/10
