Eye Of The Tiger 1986

 

Starring: Gary Busey

A vigilante avenge's his wife's murder.

So many vigilante movies made in the 80's. Not one of the greatest to be honest, Yaphet Kotto with his aerial support in an explosive finale was an excellent scene.    4/10

Uncle Buck 1989


 Starring: John Candy

A good-natured but slobbish layabout straightens out his sister's warring children and learns to love domesticity.

I remember this being huge when it was released, looks great on the outside but has little substance. Still watchable although it never once made me laugh out loud.       6/10

The Lost Moment 1947

 

Starring: Robert Cummings

An American publisher goes to Venice to recover love letters written by a famous poet to a lady now aged 105.

Intriguing idea and the old lady is brilliantly made up and well played. The movie though is too single paced and pedestrian and just never came alive for me.     4/10

The Flame 1947

 

Starring: Vera Hruba Ralston

A nurse marries for money, but her ailing spouse recovers and she falls in love with him.

Extremely full melodrama with no character that I particularly liked, the nurse's broken English accent was actually quite a struggle to listen to. Very much on one level throughout.        4/10
