I'll give a million 1938

Starring: Warner Baxter

A millionaire becomes a tramp and disappears, letting it be known that he will give a fortune for genuine acts of kindness. Tramps are then royally entertained all over town.

The idea of a millionaire desperately wanting someone to love him for who he is, is really rather sad. This light-hearted movie is quite good fun though, the only down point being Peter Lore who has to be the most annoying ctor in the hitory of the movies.      6/10

Ratboy 1986

Starring: Sondra Locke

A half-rodent alien gets the anticipated rough treatment when he visits Earth.

Sondra Locke who sadly died earlier this month was the director and star of this movie. A one trick piece, once you've seen the rat boy, the rest of the movie just doesn't live up to this visual reveal. Just rather dull I'm afraid.               3/10

Days of Heaven 1978

Starring: Richard Gere

In the early 20th century, three young immigrants leave Chicago for the wheatfields.

There is no denying that this movie is visually stunning. I just found it really dull and couldn't get into it at all. I don't think the quietly spoken backing narrative helped. A disappointment.      3/10

The Medusa Touch 1978

Starring: Richard Burton

A novelist is haunted by the belief that he can cause disaster.

I was expecting to enjoy this, I am not a  fan of Richard Burton. Although, yet again I found him too intense, he wasn't on screen for that much of the movie which was instead driven by the excellent Lino Ventura. This is an excellent thriller, absolutely gripping and builds really well towards its conclusion. I loved it.      9/10

Boy Did I Get A Wrong Number 1966

Starring: Bob Hope

Trying to phone his wife, an estate agent gets involved with a runaway actress.

Great fun with some amusing one-liners throughout the movie. Most of the budget must have been spent on foamy bubbles. Hope's comic timing was spot on and I particularly enjoyed the performance of his maid, played by Phyllis Diller.       7/10
