White Mischief (1987)

There are a variety of startling things about "White Mischief", there is a brief but early appearance from Hugh Grant, there is the depiction of the swinging Happy Valley set in Kenya where bed hopping and drug taking was part of the norm and there is plenty of nudity as Greta Scacchi's exquisite looks and perfect body dominate proceedings.

Peggy Sue Got Married (1986)

I have a theory about "Peggy Sue Got Married", to truly enjoy and appreciate it you had to be a teenager in the 60s and suffering a midlife crisis in the 80s. Now I wasn't born till the early 70s and as such whilst I enjoyed this time travel romantic come...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1982)

When you see something is a TV Movie it is easy to have low expectations especially when it is a retelling of a classic story which has already been adapted brilliantly to the big screen. But then the 1982 version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is not y...

Gallipoli (1981)

I'm a bit lost having watched "Gallipoli", not something I like to admit, but it is not the movie I was anticipating because whilst a war movie the actual war element is only the third act, before that we have 2 acts of male bonding. Now everything about ...

Saturn 3 (1980)

There are a small group of movies which I would love to see remade. Now generally I don't like remakes but there are these certain movies which you can see could be good but the finished product isn't. One such movie is "Saturn 3" a sci-fi movie from 1980...

Yanks (1979)

Growing up in the UK during the 70s and 80s I have memories of an educational TV show called "The Way We Use to Live" which as the title suggests recreated what life was like at certain times. In a way John Schlesinger's "Yanks" reminds me of that series ...

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

Writing a movie review of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" some 35 years after it came out actually sounds pretty pointless especially when it must be one of the most often watched and well known movies in the history of cinema. But the thing is my yo...

One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975)

My first memory of watching "One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing" was in the early 90s as a twenty something and I was bored out of my brains. Having not bothered to watch it again I decided to revisit this Disney family movie from the 70s in the hope of bein...

The Love Guru (2008)

Throughout "The Love Guru" Mike Myers delivers a joke, stares at the camera and laughs, it feels desperate, desperately trying to convince us that the joke was funny or Mike Myers desperately trying to convince himself that he can get away with it. For wh...
