One Touch Of Venus 1948

 

Starring: Ava Gardner

In a fashionable department store, a statue of Venus comes to life and falls for a window dresser.

I guess this is where the film Mannequin got its inspiration. Ava Gardner was seductive and Molly stole the show as the wise-cracking secretary. Considering it is a movie, nobody sang a word for over 30 minutes. Very light hearted and easy to watch.   7/10

Transit 2012

 

Starring: Jim Caviezel

A gang of bank robbers hide their loot in the car of a family going camping. They chase down the family to kill them and get the loot back, but run into a fight.

A bunch of people consistently making baffling stupid decisions. It keeps you watching, but the script shows a lack of originality and people seem to get shot in the chest three times and stand up as if nothing has happened. Some good action and really rather violent at times. Not good in so many ways and yet I kind of enjoyed it.     6/10

Battle Taxi 1954


 Starring: Sterling Hayden

A newcomer to the helicopter rescue service in Korea resents his non-combatant status, but becomes a hero.

Who doesn't love a helicopter, enjoyed a war film focussing on these machines. Not too long and an interesting watch.     6/10
