Dreamscape 1984

Starring: Dennis Quaid

Experiments prove that it is possible for a dreamer to enter the dreams of others, and a subjext finds himself being used for a plot against the president of the US.

Quite a nice idea for a plot and early on, I thought it was working. Then it got a bit confused for me, some of the fantasies just seemed a little pointless and the apocalyptic style ending was unlike the rest of the movie and just seemed totally out of place. Ended up missing the mark for me.     4/10 

The Black Parachute 1944

Starring: Larry Parks

An American Soldier parachutes into a mythical European kingdom to free its king from the Nazis.

Standard war, spy thriller. Not badly done. Plenty of pace and action. Nothing overly memorable and clearly propganda inspired, not bad though.    5/10
 

Excuse my dust 1951

Starring: Red Skelton

The inventor of a horseless carriage loves the daughter of a livery stable owner.

 This was really rather jaunty. Made me laugh out loud more than once and was a mixture of musical and quirky comedy. The race at the end was amusing, when you think back to when vehicles were first being invented, how far we have come!       6/10

Every day's a holiday 1937

Starring: Mae West

A confidence girl in the old Bowery sells Brooklyn Bridge to suckers.

Considering she is such a 20th century sex icon, I was amazed at how few movies Mae West made. She totally carried this and gave an enthusiastic, energetic performance. You know the comedy is going to miss the mark when the soda water in the face gag is dragged out. Had it's moments but all about Mae West.      4/10
