Starring: Charlton Heston
A Mexican narcotics investigator honeymooning in a border town clashes with the local police chief over a murder.
Ridiculously dark and crushingly boring. I lost intesrt about 10 minutes in and it never returned. Waste of a really good cast. 1/10

It happened at the World's Fair 1962
Starring: Elvis Presley
At the Seattle World's Fair, two crop-dusting pilots have romantic intrigues.
I always seem to end up having at least one Elvis film each year, I actually really enjoyed this one. Nice little plot, songs were easy on the ear and th elittle girl who featured as much as Elvis, was charming. 8/10

The St Valentine's day massacre 1967
Starring: Jason Robards Jr
The twenties gang war between Al Capone and Bugs Moran.
Semi-documentary like, it was interesting from a historical point of view. Other than that, it was a lot of machine gun fire and you just raise your eyebrows at the stupidity of the whole era. 4/10

The Naked kiss 1964
Starring: Constance Towers
A prostitute tries to enter mainstream society.
Constance Towers is very good in an interesting movie. Slightly confusing and downbeat, there are some lovely scenes although all lit very darkly. The occasional 60's psychedelic soundtrack makes you want to run screaming from the room. 5/10

Kidnapped 1971
Starring: Michael Caine
Remake incorporating sections of Catriona.
Three versions of this classic story in my film book and I hadn't seen any of them. Fantastic setting with some stunning scenery, the plot was interesting enough with some enjoyable action along the way. I do enjoy Michael Caine movies but his accent in this was great when it was there, but tended to go walkabout in the middle of speeches. 6/10
