My Review of ‘Obsession’ (1949)

Posted on October 6, 2022 by Debbi

My Review of ‘Cutter’s Way’ (1981)

Posted on September 9, 2021 by Debbi

My Review of ‘A Kiss Before Dying’ (1956)

Posted on July 9, 2020 by Debbi

In many ways, this movie reminded me of A Place in the Sun, a film I’ve mentioned in a previous blog post. Except instead of a man from a humble poor family falling for the daughter of his wealthy employer … Continue reading →

My Review of ‘Malone’ (1987)

Posted on May 21, 2020 by Debbi

This movie caught my eye recently, because I like spy thrillers or, in this case, an ex-spy thriller. The title character Richard Malone is a former CIA assassin who has, much to his employers’ dismay, given his backdated two-weeks notice. … Continue reading →

My Review of ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ (1969)

Posted on January 2, 2020 by Debbi

Apparently, this film includes “virtually everything in the novel” it’s based upon, according to Wikipedia. That, in itself, is unusual. But it is hardly the movie’s only peculiarity. If you’ve never seen this entry in the James Bond franchise, but … Continue reading →

My Review of ‘Nox’ (2019)

Posted on May 2, 2019 by Debbi

I’m always awed when someone can tell a complex story in a short time. The film Nox is an excellent example of that. The opening shots of a nighttime vista of water and woods sweep across the screen, with the … Continue reading →
