Ann Price blames her best friend, Sharon Mckay for her brother's Jerry's death. She decides to set Sharon up for her murder, but there is an unexpected surprise.
Typical TV movie, weak plot and acting although to be fair, this is better than most. Ending which I guess was trying to add a twist, totally didn't work for me. 6/10
A federal agent on the trail of a moonshine gang recruits a gang of hardened convicts and arranges for them to escape.
An enjoyable watch and is the film is so bad. Shocking acting, poor production and every time there's a bit of action, which is a lot, the same bit of hillbilly music kicks in. Loads of fighting, shooting and explosions. 6/10
In the twenties, two Chicago students kidnap and murder a young boy for kicks.
Brilliantly acted and watched as a tribute to Dean Stockwell who passed away this week. Still relevant today with the rich thinking they have licence to do whatever they choose. 6/10
A crippled newspaper seller goes mad through thwarted love.
Fascinating for seeing the hustle and bustle of Cairo station and people going about their everyday life, plot wasn't up to much though. 4/10
The gruelling life of a professional football player, laced with drugs, sex and alcohol.
Boys will be boys! All a little tedious watching grown men shout, slam about and behave like children. Thank goodness for Nick Nolte who is utterly believable in a very good performance. 6/10
A German-American is forced by his Nazi twin to help a group of German spies.
Made during the war, a little too talkative for my liking, needed a little light & shade. 4/10
A day in a New York precinct police station, during which a detective of almost pathological righteousness discovers a stain on. his family and himself becomes victim of violence.
A stage play and probably better delivered in that format. An interesting idea but a little too much until we reach the dramatic conclusion. 4/10
A ten-year old boy hates his nanny, and with good reason, for she is a neurotic murderess.
Forget your modern day, slasher movies. This is truly terrifying, quite frankly all of the nanny, mother and boy are unhinged. Brilliantly put together, this keeps you on the edge of your seat. 8/10
Adventures on a drive to Munich
Bundt movie, interesting to see society views of the time. I never warmed to Lindsay Duncan and this will not be one that lives in the memory. 5/10
Allegedly drowned on a boat cruise, a man turns up again after his wife has remarried.
Not the most original script idea but this is delightfully delivered. Some very funny moments with a great supporting cast and quality comic timing. 7/10
A practised wolf explains to a perfect husband how to be unfaithful.
Despite a few humorous moments, this is just a bit too obvious for me. Plenty of views of ladies bums and tits, as pleasant as this may be, I feel a movie needs a lot more. Interesting to see all the star cameos though. 5/10
American oceanologists conduct an experiment in underwater living.
Wow, this looks dated. Some of the underwater effects were okay, the rest made me laugh out loud, I wonder how they were viewed at the time of release. Lacks tension to be honest but has Ernest Borgnine in it and he's always been one of my favourite actors, I love seeing what he does with a role. Not much for him to work with here, but his class shines through. 7/10
A soldier missing after Pearl Harbor turns up years later in Hawaii under a different identity.
Hawaii is nicely shown off although the singing and flouncing, delightful if you visit, goes on a bit too long. The storyline itself is not strong enough and way too conversational. 4/10
French villagers help a spy escape to Britain.
Decent WW2 spy drama. Still makes my blood boil when you see how people were treated. Very well done and quite exciting. 7/10
Recovering from being torpedoed, an orphan girl visits her aunt and uncle in Louisiana and has some terrifying experiences.
A movie that certainly plays the melodrama card although it does have eight moments of 'gaiety'. 5/10
Not my favourite Disney, a little dark for my taste. A few snatches of humour but none of the trademark songs or in this case, any songs at all, that make a Disney movie. 4/10
During the war of 1812, an American ship runs the English blockade to collect gold bullion from France.
Colour is a bit washed out now and is oddly dark during some of the fight scenes, but lots of fun messing around on the high seas and Angela Lansbury playing a completely different type of role. 6/10
Six violent convicts revolt against a sadistic warden and try to escape.
Hard hitting prison drama with an explosive ending, not bad but needed a bit of light to counter-balance the dark. 6/10
Three boys go through parachute training school.
Not much of a blot to be honest, but all made in good humour and historically was actually quite interesting. 5/10
The domestic life of inventor Hiram Maxim.
From first meeting, to courting, to getting married and having children. Very likeable lead performances and although there's no in depth plot, it put a smile on my face. 7/10
