Shorty’s Film Reviews

133 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Night at the Opera, A (1935): "You can't fool me, there is no sanity clause."
Lost in Paris (Paris pieds nus) (2016): Gentle comedy magic. A movie placing the McGarrigle Sisters and Satie alongside each other on its soundtrack can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned.; DVD $29.95
Alan Partridge: Mid Morning Matters (TV Series) (2010): A minor work in Alan's canon.
Alice in Wonderland (1966): Sticks close to the Tenniel illustrations, abounding in Victorian period charm and general English dottiness.
Truman Show, The (1998)
You Kill Me (2007): Inarticulate hit–man opens up, so to speak. Very funny.
Patrick Melrose (TV Series) (2018): A story both harrowing and hilarious. Cumberbatch is impressive.; DVD $34.95
Missionary, The (1982): Plays like a frothy music hall revue, with lots of comic business for your delectation.
Gattaca (1997): Standard Hollywood 'our–human–spirit–won't–ever–be–tamed' schtick in sci–fi garb.
Whistle Down the Wind (1964): Delightful tale set in the atmospheric hills of Lancashire.
