One of those films that I look back in with fond memories, but wouldn't stand up to any sort of scrutiny. Only writing this review because someone might read it. Not really much point writing down my thoughts on the Matrix! So Starlight Hotel. Sentimental old claptrap really. But at the same time, everything works out well in the end but it's not what you could call a happy ending. The New Zealand scenery is smashing, and the actors involved give a good performance. The ending really is quite moving, has to rank up there with Johnny Five getting the $#!+ kicked out of him by his two "friends" in Short Circuit 2. So there you have it, my first film review, and nobody any the wiser.
