The Bigamist movie
Another vintage movie that I’ve seen lately is The Bigamist. I’ve never seen it before. It’s really a classic soap opera piece that has much of it glossed over becomes of the standards and practices of the day. That actually surprises me, how they made movies …
Sweet Sixteen movie
A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …

P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?

Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo movie
Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo was a real shocker when it came out in 1991. I remember reading the buzz about it. Would they really kill off Columbo’s unseen but much loved wife? The made for TV movie actually starts with Mrs. Columbo’s funeral. …

I am reviewing the movie, Sandlot. There’s this boy. He’s new in town. He doesn’t have any friends. Then one day he ventures out to the local baseball field and finds a group of boys. He can’t throw. When he tries to throw back a ball of theirs, …
The Flim-Flam Man,1967 movie
This is a wonderful, unfairly little known and even more unfairly not-yet-released-on-DVD comedy starring the great George C. Scott. If you are a fan of George Scott, definitely check it out! He plays (wonderfully) a veteran con artist named Mordecai Jones who maintains that “you can’t cheat an honest …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …

The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …
Batman Forever 1995 Movie
This version of Batman was correctly named. Batman Forever. It should have been forgotten Forever. Because this was the worst of all the current Batman movies to come out in the last 20 to 30 years. It was released in 1995 and never should have left the drawing board. …

The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …
