Stranger on the Shore (1961)
Kids TV but better than a lot of adult stuff today
I loved this when it was broadcast on childrens TV Hour in 1961and so did all my friends.
For its time, it was a very professional production, way ahead of the usual stuff made for kids.
When it was shown for a second time months later, my Mum and Dad (who had yet to watch it) sat glued to the TV and our evening tea was late!
I have long wondered if anyone can tell me the name of the female vocalist who sang the title track ON the TV series.
I'm not talking about the dozens of artists who recorded it after the program was broadcast.
I keep being told that it was Patti Page only I know it wasn't.
Any answers?
Father Dowling Mysteries (1989)
Does Anyone with more than one brain cell watch this rubbish?
I was forced to endure an episode of this puerile drivel recently, as punishment for offending my wife's "friend" (someone she works with but secretly cannot stand but they are higher up in the food chain than she is - it's complicated)
Anyway, I was made to watch this rubbish ( my wife hates it too) and I have to say that this is the most inane dross I have ever viewed!
A chubby, "folksy" catholic priest (all catholic priests are austere, authoritarian horrors, to be avoided at all costs) teams up with a spunky Nun to solve crimes.
That alone is enough to make me run for the toilet.
Who on earth thinks up these ludicrous scripts?
The Nun disguises herself as many different things (the wife says) including a prostitute?
And they have managed to make 3 series of this rubbish!
I don't have to watch it, I know (unless the wife punishes me again) but I do have to endure the same maddening adverts for this junk!
This program should be banned, the producers locked up for ever and the priest should be sent to a leper colony somewhere very remote.
The Nun can play a prostitute though, anytime she likes.
Very nice legs...!
She is the reason that I gave it one star, otherwise it would have got none!
Bone Tomahawk (2015)
OOH!, This was dreary!
Kurt Russell is a great actor.
I cannot believe that he read the whole of this puerile script before saying "Yes" to it.
It started off reasonably well with Russell playing his role well.
I thought that it would be a good, interesting change to the normal western/horror drivel that we mostly get.
But, it began to drag its feet, then got slower and ultimately boring.
It just went nowhere, they basically ran out of script and the film ended suddenly and left me with the feeling that I had wasted my evening entirely.
I cannot remember being so bored and disappointed in a long time.
Money down the drain.
Don't waste your time on this garbage.
