There is so much incredible information to take in from these five 50-60 minute documentaries, all talking with Holocaust survivors, that I?m going to have to keep a check on myself to prevent me from going on and on about it. This collection is made possible through collaboration between Steven Spielberg and survivors of the […]

It?s hard to know where to start, there?s so much to like about this endearing series. The show?s writer, Geoffrey Atherden, struck gold with this ?snapshot? of two brothers who are constantly struggling over the ?status-quo? when it comes to their dear old mother, Maggie. Arthur wants to change it, Robert wants to maintain it! […]

A group of ageing vaudeville performers meet at a New York diner and wind up discussing the life and times of legendary artist manager Danny Rose (Woody Allen). His reputation is formidable as one of Broadway?s most genuinely motivated and loyal talent promoters; what a shame that all his acts are so undeniably crappy! Gotta […]

You know how it is with these films ? all the main characters are ?easy on the eye?, highly paid and seem to have a lot of time on their hands in an exotic location. Stylish sex is bound to happen. Enter Emily Reid (Carre Otis), a small-town law graduate who lands a job for […]

This is the second review of a costume drama I have had to do recently ? and all I can say is that this one made the earlier example ? Solomon and Sheba ? seem like a classic picture!
Alexander the Great is a loose biographical account of the man who […]

John Lewis (Peter Sellers) is a librarian (and part-time dramatic critic for the local rag) who lives in the small town of Aberdarcy, Wales. He has a pretty but bored wife, Jean (Virginia Maskell) and three kids (two real, one the imaginary friend of his daughter!). They live in a pokey apartment complex with shared […]
