Gregory Peck dons the uniform of the four/five star American General who rose to prominence in the far east theatre of operations during World War Two. We start with the Japanese over-running the Philippines and seeing him strategically withdraw to the relative safety of Australia. There he finds that there is little appetite in Washington to take the fight to the enemy, indeed there’s considerable uncertainty as to whether they can even defend Australia itself. Fortunately, his relationship with President Roosevelt (Dan O’Herlihy) sees his plan to invade Luzon approved and back he goes to pre…

Believe it or not, this is a western film starring a Clint Eastwood who actually has some dialogue! He’s the eponymous farmer who has so far avoided the worst of the American Civil War only for his family to be brutally slaughtered by some marauding Yankees. Determined on retribution, he joins up with vigilante "Fletcher” (John Vernon) and his gang but yet more betrayal sees him on his own, traversing the country looking for revenge. His desperation has a certain magnetic quality to it, as he gradually attracts others on the fringe of what passes for society including “Lone” (Chief Dan George)…

An inventor, an inventress and their equally inventive daughter live in an house made of lace. As you’d expect, it is an intricate construction but it’s not just decorative. It’s got it’s own windmill (elegant, of course) and a fairly unique form of central heating that keeps them all cosy as they turn out their very own airship. You might have thought they’d be lauded by their local community but between those who think that they offend the laws of man and those who think that they offend the laws of God, they just can’t get any local engagement. Finally, when they develop their own hydro-pow…

This might be one of the best arguments against censorship I’ve ever seen. For an hour, following some members of the American National Socialist White People’s Party, we encounter some of the most ignorant and bigoted products of modern day education and society that have ever been committed to film. What’s more, these are not extremists in any sort of zealous and rabble-rousing sort of fashion, these are family men, with wives and children, extolling the virtues of Adolf Hitler and his Arian supremacist philosophies. America is for the whites, even though they are themselves no more indigeno…

**The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses** _(Kizetsu Yuusha to Ansatsu Hime)_ is a japanese animation about a super strong naive guy the size of an American line-backer or Rugby fullback, named **Toto**. He wants to be a hero, _the_ hero who rids the world of the demon king because the demon king's minions wiped out his when Toto was a child. And though Toto doesn't see his potential to accomplish his vengence, his adversaries do. Some see him as the threat and challenge he poses, while others see him as competition for the riches and fame to those who defeat the demon king. Toto's enemi…

Its a powerful series about Mobbing, the psychology and the fantasy of a child behind, the troughs, realistic problems and the view from different perspectives. Completely underrated.…

"Barbara" (Barbara Stanwyck) works in one of those dance halls where the managers charge the punters 10 cents to dance with her - unless they are at table drinking (she's partial to milk!). It's not really a marriage of true love, but she ends up marrying the petty waster "Eddie" (Monroe Owsley) - a man who steals left, right and centre from his boss to stay one step ahead of his gambling debts. When she realises the size of the hole he's in, she borrows $5,000 from a wealthy client to bail him out. His reaction is the final straw for her patience with this relationship and she turns to a more…

"Until Dawn" certainly doesn't inspire much confidence, especially after you find out it is based on a Playstation game. So you can automatically rule out anything even approaching the cerebral and prepare to be assailed by an assortment of cardboard cut-out characters instead. These ciphers are essentially destined to be nothing more than disposable victims and ironically enough this is precisely what they are as each one of them is brutally and systematically slain until the large hourglass in the visitor center is re-set so the carnage can begin again exactly the way it happened in the "Sta…

I'm shocked, but not, by the unscrupulous behalf l behavior of the characters the film has introduced us to. The air of tragedy is thick, and we've got some manifestation occurring in an apartment complex. This is a silly horror film, so many goofy moments just for giggles, and it actually is a nice blend with the paranormal entity making itself known. The religious side of the interactions is freaking hilarious and most entertaining, and there seems to be more supernatural hilarity from them.…

We've either a horrible crime or we have a terrible premise for an unholy and even justified unnatural series of occurrences coming into play. Appears we've a group of characters gathering, and they appear to be primarily young eclectic adults, and one of them has a beautifully haunting doll. The facility they're in appears to be rather odd in its design, and the decorations are definitely off-putting, but in the most inquisitive manner. One of the characters appears to either be extremely sensitive, and the atmosphere of the facility they're in absolutely doesn't help. There are s…
