Winter Kills (1979): An interesting portrayal – nothing by formula with this one – Huston and Perkins are worth the price of admission alone.
Immigrant, The (2013): Suitably sombre. The set designs and wardrobe for the period are fine but the main idea on which the plot is based has been done before.
Risky Business (1983): Of mild interest only when seen these days.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Pretty Baby (1978): Very easy on the eye production wise – the plot requires brave film making (even for today). Brooke Shields is very good as is Susan Sarandon as always but Keith Carradine struggles.; DVD $19.95
Lost in America (1985): Some very good bits but Brooks's hysterics are a negative. Julie H is good though.
Angel Face (1952): A very good courtroom scene followed by an excellent finish highlight the film.
Phyllis Diller: Not Just Another Pretty Face (1968): She has her own character which is very recognisable,a trademark laugh and a good delivery but her material is not the strongest.Terry–Thomas makes an appearance.
Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan (1984): Sublime British support cast and production values. Best scenes are early in the film amongst the apes. Film makers should be commended for taking on a difficult plot.The film makes its point but maybe at the cost of some scenes coming across silly.
Ice Castles (1978): There is always suspense when watching ice skating so its a winner on that front.
Born To Win (Addict) (1971): Believable and gritty – aided by a pretty useful cast.
