Pretty Poison 1968

 

Starring: Anthony Perkins

A psychotic arsonist enlists the aid of a teenager but soon discovers she is kinkier than he and has murder in mind.

Brilliant performances by both Perkins and Tuesday Weld. The movie laboured a little for me and never really took off, the ending made up for this though and slightly blew me away.   5/10

Gunfighters 1947


 Starrin: Randolph Scott

A retired gunfighter is suspected of the murder of his best friend.

Very disappointing Western, never got going for me with a very unoriginal plot.     4/10

Nowhere to Land 2000

 

Starring: Jack Wagner

A pilot must safely land a 747 on which deadly nerve gas has been planted.


Despite this having a fairly average script, a bunch of absurdly good-looking people and a bunch of cliches, I really enjoyed this. Tense, the odd twist and I found myself gripping the arm of the chair. 9/10

The Big Gamble 1960

 

Starring: Stephen Boyd

Three people drive an ailing truck to a remote African township where they hope to start a haulage business.

Wonderful movie, with the journey turning up a variety of problems, obstacles and mechanical failures. Hugely enjoyable, I have no idea who sourced the locations for this, they deserve an award!  8/10

Turtle Diary 1985

 

Starring: Glenda Jackson

Two self-admitted eccentrics take it upon themselves to release turtles from captivity in the London Zoo.

Why an odd movie. I also find both Jackson & Ben Kingsley detached as performers and I just never warm to them. Wanted to love this but it really did nothing for me. 5/10
