The Night My Number Came Up 1954

Starring: Michael Redgrave

A man dreams that his plane will crash, and the dream begins to come true.

The story was almost strong enough to stand without the dream element. Excellent special effects for the time and good tension. Enjoyed this.         8/10

Hope Springs 2012

Starring: Meryl Streep

After thirty years of marriage, a middle-aged couple attends an intense, week-long counseling session to work on their relationship. 

What an absolute delight. Meryl Streep is so normal, she could sit in a room and you'd never notice her. Tommy Lee Jones is gruff, uncomfortable and very funny. This movie could resonate with any couple in their middle age.  Strong, strong acting and both amusing and thought-provoking.   9/10

Ambush 1949

Starring: Robert Taylor

An army scout leads a posse to capture an Indian chief who is holding a white womanhostage.

 
Print seems a little dark now, too much emphasis on the romance and not enough action. Inevitable final shoot-out was good enough if a shade predictable.    4/10
