Starring: Peggy Mount
Charladies form a successful company from tips they salvage from wastepaper baskets.
It's difficult to ever empathise with Peggy Mount and that harsh, booming delivery that she had. Having said that, this was a bit of fun. As implausible as the plot was, it made you smile and it was nice to see Harry H Corbett in his prime and Robert Morley was almost bearable to watch. 7/10

Jeremy 1973
Starring: Robby Benson
A music student falls in love with a ballet dancer.
A lovely chemistry between the two actors with a perfect music underscore. You realise how well this is being done as when it becomes intimate, you feel like you're intruding. I'd never heard of this before seeing it but it's a really beautiful movie. 9/10

Red sundown 1956
Starring: Rory Calhoun
A gunslinger becomes a deputy and tames a lawless town.
Standard Western with its plot but moved along at a nice pace and I found it very watchable. No surprises, but easy on the eye. 7/10

Horror express 1972
Starring: Peter Cushing
In 1906 China a fossilized missing link comes to violent life on a train.
My theory that you never get a bad movie on a train was severely tested here. Christopher Lee looked ridiculous and was as wooden as can be, Cushing was marginally better and quite what Terry Savalas was thinking about... This reminded me of the horror films I used to watch late on a Friday night when I was a kid. It fell into the, so bad it became quite good category. 4/10

THe Guardian 2006
Starring: Kevin Costner
A high school swim champion with a troubled past enrolls in the U.S. Coast Guard's "A" School, where legendary rescue swimmer Ben Randall teaches him some hard lessons about loss, love, and self-sacrifice.
I have a theory that no Kevin Costner movie ever comes in at even close to under 2 hours, this was no exception. A bit like Top gun for coastguards. It had some good scenes, the chemistry between Costner & Ashton Kutcher was really good. This worked best during the training scenes, the last hal hour somehow lacked the thrill and excitement of similar movies. Not bad though. 6/10
