Our Relations (1936)

Yawn

[3/10 · 7 July 2021]

Not their best, but it sure beats "Hogan's Heroes" without "Kinch".

Fiend Without a Face (1958)

Difficult to get through

[1/10 · 17 May 2021]

Sometimes it was too much to bare. The only thing to save it was the voluptuous Kim Parker.

Hogan's Heroes: The Pizza Parlor (1966) Season 1, Episode 22

Couldn't make it

[2/10 · 15 February 2021]

Probably the worst Hogan's ever produced. Hans Conried deserved better.

Hogan's Heroes: The Ultimate Weapon (1968) Season 3, Episode 28

way out there !

[2/10 · 2 January 2021]

This may be one of the worst-written episodes . Even Schultz as a military genius is a hard one to swallow .

The African Queen (1951)

a bit overdone

[8/10 · 1 January 2021]

Don't know if Bogey deserved an Oscar for this. Many of his lines seemed deliberate and amateur. Kate doesn't help matters much.

Valley of the Dragons (1961)

big smile on my face !

[2/10 · 27 December 2020]

I gave it two stars just because of its entertainment value . . . some real funny scenes with the reptiles . . .

Hogan's Heroes (1965–1971)

I was SO young

[7/10 · 8 December 2020]

Yeah, OK: a 5'2" Gestapo soldier . . . maybe I just thought it was funny at the time (?)

Utopia (1950)

what a way to go

[3/10 · 2 November 2020]

I WOULD have given this one star, but out of respect for their other great works like "Sons of the Desert" and "Way Out West", I felt sorry.

Niagara (1953)

overrated film noir

[5/10 · 27 July 2020]

Good for a few laughs . . .Pretty bad acting but Marilyn holds her own

The Snake Pit (1948)

Medication Time

[7/10 · 19 July 2020]

Great acting by Olivia deHavilland . . . drags a little sometimes . . . I think about 10 minutes is a rendition of "Goin' Home"

Platoon (1986)

Very Realistic

[10/10 · 6 March 2020]

Was in 'Nam in 1970 . . . this is as close to the real thing as I've seen . . . . I think it's because Stone was there too

Inherit the Wind (1988 TV Movie)

Sickening

[3/10 · 8 January 2020]

This may be the worst-produced TV movie ever. The actors seemed embarrassed. Spencer Tracy is spinning in his grave.

The Godfather Part III (1990)

it tries a little

[7/10 · 19 December 2019]

There are a LOT of preposterous scenes which would not pass muster in I and II

A Place in the Sun (1951)

Not That Good

[3/10 · 11 October 2019]

I think this movie could have been 20 minutes long if it weren't for the long, dead spots . . . non-speaking moments that were uncalled for . . .

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Fantasy Land

[9/10 · 8 October 2019]

You DO realize this is a movie, right ? don't study it TOO deep . . .

The Third Man (1949)

just sit back and enjoy

[10/10 · 19 September 2019]

Way ahead of its time . . . no use trying to analyze . . .

The Untouchables (1987)

Unbelievable

[7/10 · 14 September 2019]

I know it's a movie, but I've never seen so many people shot and go on living

Papillon (I) (2017)

give it a chance

[9/10 · 14 August 2019]

Pretty good version of the McQueen/Hoffman classic . . .

House of Wax (1953)

Trish Addams is Spinning in her grave

[3/10 · 11 August 2019]

Surely you can't be serious . . . . not close to a "Classic"

Sherman's Showcase (2019– )

Guess ya had to be there

[8/10 · 1 August 2019]

I think it's a great satire about "Soul Train", which I thought was hilarious in its hey-day . . .

The Deer Hunter (1978)

Full of Messages

[10/10 · 7 July 2019]

A lot of unrealistic story-line about the War; for "realism" watch "Platoon"

The Out-of-Towners (1999)

not even close

[3/10 · 2 July 2019]

I'm sure Jack Lemmon has got to be spinning in his grave !

LBJ (2016)

not for my tastes

[5/10 · 27 June 2019]

It skips around a bit too much . . . I'd like to see something more in line . . .

M*A*S*H: Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler (1975) Season 4, Episode 9

Must - See

[10/10 · 16 June 2019]

One of the top five episodes of MASH . . . Colonel Flagg's role is important . . .

Sons of the Desert (1933)

One of their best

[10/10 · 17 May 2019]

I've seen it many times and still enjoy it . . . . several classic scenes . . . the Veterinarian's religion didn't make any difference . . .
