Guadalcanal Diary (1943)

Watching old war movies such as "Guadalcanal Diary" now many years after they were made it is easy to spot various issues with them especially when it comes to their purposefully rousing nature. But some movies manage to rise...

Bataan (1943)

114 mins     War      

"Bataan" is one of those war movies which inhabit basically one place, a piece of jungle near the bridge where these 13 men are station. Now in fairness this actually shows that much of the movie was shot in a studio with a f...

The House on 92nd Street (1945)

To my surprise I found that there was a lot of love for "The House on 92nd Street" one of the first docu-dramas which took the true story of the FBI's investigation into Nazi Fifth Columnists in New York and made it into a mo...

Ice Station Zebra (1968)

148 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

"Ice Station Zebra" is another prime example that even if you have the seemingly perfect cast and crew it doesn't mean that you will have a perfect movie. Here you have director John Sturges who gave us "The Great Escape" wor...

Prince Jack (1985)

100 mins     Drama      

To quantify where I am coming from when it comes to this review of "Prince Jack" here are a few facts. I am a Brit who wasn't even born when John F. Kennedy was assassinated and it is almost 30 years since "Prince Jack" was m...
