On Dangerous Ground (1952)

82 mins     Drama, Thriller      

"On Dangerous Ground" is for some a film noir classic, for me well it's a good 1950s thriller/ character study which is not what I call film noir but then film noir is a term which seems to cover a wide spectrum of ideas. Wha...

12 Angry Men (1957)

96 mins     Drama      

Some of my favourite movies are those which can be defined as courtroom dramas, the powerful to and thro between lawyers as they try to outwit each other whilst pulling apart each other's case. There have been some terrific c...

Billion Dollar Brain (1967)

111 mins     Crime, Thriller      

Michael Caine playing as a bit of a laid back, almost jack the lad style character who is quick with a witty response is a joy to watch. But for some reason it feels wrong in "Billion Dollar Brain" because this third movie in...

Firecreek (1968)

104 mins     Western      

James Stewart made a surprising amount of westerns and whilst the likes of "The Man from Laramie" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" are some of his better known, those lesser known ones such as "Firecreek" are by no mean...

Protocol (1984)

96 mins     Comedy      

"Protocol" is one of those movies which have a problem and that problem comes from it being a star vehicle rather than a movie about a story. As such whilst "Protocol" should have been a political satire about devious politic...

In the Line of Duty: Siege at Marion (1992)

96 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

I'm not sure whether "In the Line of Duty: Siege at Marion" is the third or fourth movie in this series which I have watched and in some ways is the weakest so far as there is not much to it. After about 20 minutes of build u...

Greedy (1994)

113 mins     Comedy      

"Greedy" is a movie which you can split into a two segment pie chart with the initial 80% all about the deviousness and infighting of those wanting to get their hands on Uncle Joe's money. We get to see the comedy of nephew C...

Then There Were Giants (1994)

194 mins     Drama, TV Movie, War      

When ever I review one of these two part TV mini-series which can be watched in one go I feel like I should write quite a bit because we are talking in this case over 3 hours of entertainment. But when it comes to "Then There...

Life on Liberty Street (2004)

89 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"Life on Liberty Street" is a disappointment not so much for what we see but for how the storyline has been handled, turning what could be an insightful and touching movie into a very cliche one. Within this storyline which r...

Pineapple Express (2008)

111 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy, Crime      

I think I may have finally grown up, that's a worrying thought, but there would have been a time when I would have thought "Pineapple Express" was the dog's doo daa's, that it was dope and basically a riot of comedy. Now I wa...

Fly Me to the Moon (2008)

84 mins     Adventure , Animation, Family      

With my eight year old head on I may have enjoyed "Fly Me to the Moon" especially if I had watched in the 3D it was intended to be watched in. As an eight year old I would have probably found these animated flies amusing, I w...

Georgia O'Keeffe (2009)

89 mins     Biography, Drama, Romance, TV Movie      

I would imagine that most people who watch the made for TV movie "Georgia O'Keeffe" do so already aware of who Georgia O'Keeffe was and those like me who have no idea and watch because it is a movie are in the minority. But f...

88 mins     Adventure , Animation, Family      

I honestly expected to not like "A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures" as not only had I never heard of it but when I looked for information it seemed to be one of those animations whose motive was to hammer home an environmen...
