 | Bullitt (Spec) [Read More ...]
Description: Peter Yates's 1968 cop drama has its existentialist pretensions, but there is something seductive about its strained seriousness and Steve McQueen's intentionally stoic performance as a San Francisco police detective on the trail of a murderer. A couple of key action sequences bo... |
 | Murder on the Orient Express [Read More ...]
Description: Just the name "Orient Express" conjures images of a bygone era. Add an all-star cast (including Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, and Lauren Bacall, to name a few) and Agatha Christie's delicious plot and how can you go wrong? Particularly if you add in Albert Finn... |
 | When Time Ran Out [Read More ...]
When a volcano erupts on an island resort, an oilman (Newman) leads a small group of people to safety. |
 | Spiral Staircase (1975) [Read More ...]
The Spiral Staircase:This film is not the best or the worst I have ever watched. Not having seen the earlier film of the same title, I can't make a comparison, but it does sometimes fail to convince. But any film starring Christopher Plummer gets my vote. |

 | St Ives [Read More ...]
Great 70's fare...:If your a fan of Bronson and 70's movies in general then pick up a copy of this very un-Bronson movie and immerse yourself in simpler times. |
 | Mephisto Waltz [Read More ...]
Review: Devilish!:This very Seventies, post-Rosemary's Baby (1968) horror thriller is remembered fondly by many viewers for its dated aspects. A pre-M.A.S.H. Alan Alda plays music journalist Myles Clarkson, whose own career as a pianist was earlier squelched by critical disdain. He lives... |
 | Deep [Read More ...]
Description: An obvious attempt to cash in on the success of Jaws, this 1977 thriller was also based on a bestseller by Peter Benchley, and it features a memorable performance by Robert Shaw (the doomed shark hunter in Jaws) in one of the last roles of his career. Looking very tanned and heal... |
![]() | Airport [Read More ...]
Description: One of the first of the big disaster films, this stodgy Hollywood product lumbers and creaks as it tries to sort out the various plot threads of Arthur Hailey's doorstop of a novel. Set at (what else?) a busy metropolitan airport, it details what happens one eventful night when, ... |
 | Crime Broker [Read More ...]
Review: Crime Broker is not worth your time.:My uncle bought me a two pack including two direct to video movies, Crime Broker and another time waster called Hard Vice. Crime Broker may star the once famous Jacqueline Bisset, but she definatly can not save this film from going into the ... |
