How I Got Into College 1989


 Starring: Anthony Edwards

Dim student applies to go to the same difficult-to-enter college as the girl he loves.

Didn't really do it for me, all I little silly. I did like the sequence at the end as all the students were getting their acceptance/rejection letters, the twins scene my favourite.    4/10

Ask A Policeman 1938

 

Starring: Will Hay

In a small coastal village, incompetent policemen accidentally expose smugglers who are scaring the locals with a headless horseman legend.

Extremely dated and amazes me how much humour has changed since that time. The headless horseman carriage was a good effect.      4/10

Darby O'Gill and the little people 1959

 

Starring: Albert Sharpe

An Irish caretaker falls down a well and is captured by leprechauns, who allow him three wishes to rearrange his life.

All very Irish and a little difficult to understand at times. Great to See Sean Connery in this early role and the film looks great.     5/10

Jeu De Massacre 1967

 

Starring: Claudine Auger

An impoverished comic-book writer and his artist wife become involved with a wealthy young fantasist.

A very odd sub-titled movie and yet strangely watchable. If nothing else, it looked really good.    5/10

Scarlet Street 1945

 

Starring: Edward G Robinson

A prostitute is murdered by her client and her pimp is executed for the crime.

I've always been a fan of Edward G Robinson and this is another terrific performance. There's no fool like an old fool, loved the direction that this movie heads in, it was well filmed and neatly tied up at the end. Great start to 2022.    8/10
