Violent Saturday 1955

Staring: Richard Egan

Crooks move quietly into a small town with the intention of robbing the bank.

Not bad. A lot of the build up to the inevitable was fluff but things did tie up nicely at the end so that it all made sense. The final shoot out at the Amish barn was nicely handled.      6/10 

The Greengage Summer 1961

Starring: Kenneth More

A young girl staying at a hotel falls in love with a jewel thief but is accidentally responsible for his capture.

Gentle movie that had a touch of The Railway Children about it. Capturing the moment where a girl steps between being a girl and a woman. Nicely acted and there were some brilliant moments of lighting.      6/10

Better off dead 1985

Starring: John Cusack

When his fickle girlfriend leaves him, a lonely teenager becomes despondent, but the sun shines when another girl shows interest.

Early John Cusack film. Had some extremely weird and wacky moments but also had some amusing continuous threads running throughout. I actually really warmed to it and it put a smile on my face.     7/10
