7/10 Finally, after years on my watch list, I've finally tackled this film. The reason I waited so long, was because I knew that this was going to be more of a melodrama, than a Titanic disaster movie; and I was right. But, that is not nesserily a bad thing. This film was made in… Continue reading TITANIC (1953) – REVIEW
1932 - 1942 OVERALL RATING TARZAN THE APE MAN 1932 With this classic, Johnny Weissmuller is introduced to the world as Tarzan. Already well known as an Olympic swimming star by 1932, whilst Johnny was not the first on screen Tarzan, his has become the most famous.

1930 DIRECTORS: Raoul Walsh & Louis R. Loeffler "The Indians are my friends..."

But there is no doubt that John Wayne was certainly one… Continue reading THE BIG TRAIL (FOX GRANDEUR) (1930) – REVIEW

This bitter romance garnered three Academy Awards back in 2006, and even though politics played a huge role, it would be unfair to right off the successes of this film. In the summer on 1963, two ranch hands are sent up the slopes of Brokeback Mountain to camp out… Continue reading BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
1978 DIRECTOR: Randal Kleiser May Contain Spoilers! Grease was originally released in the U.K. on the 14th September 1978, just four days before I was born (34 years ago today!). I have already selected Grease as my first Film Of The Year, for 1978. Also, a DVD edition was also released in 2006, entitled "Rockin' Rydell Edition"… Continue reading GREASE
