When is a western not a western, when it is "Murder on the Orient Express" in disguise or at least that is how "Breakheart Pass" comes across. It is an interesting idea to have a western mystery movie and to be frank a welcom...

Mayflower: The Pilgrims' Adventure (1979)

97 mins     Adventure , Drama      

I've mentioned this before but history lessons in England during the 1980s were woeful, they might as well have just handed us the text book at the start of the year and told us to go off and read it. It wasn't just the unins...

Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993)

Sabrina (1995)

127 mins     Comedy, Romance      

One of he funniest things I ever read was a whole hearted condemnation of the 1995 version of "Sabrina" for being a poor, pointless movie which is not a patch on the 1954 version of "Sabrina". In truth that sort of comment is...
