I have been reviewing films all my life, semi-professionally in the past and for the past 10 or 12 years on imdb and more recently in letterboxd and facebook. The idea of this blog is to get as many of those reviews gathered together in one place. I have had a great deal of support and encouragement from a lot of people throughout the world and I hope that continues. Now for the ratings. **** = not to be missed. *** = highly recommended. ** = recommended. * = of interest and no stars = avoid..

BERSERK! no stars
Yes, it's dreadful but then you seriously didn't think it would be
anything else? "Berserk" was Joan Crawford's penultimate cinema release
and at least she gets her name above the credits. She's the owner of a
circus where the performers are dropping like flies and she made the
film in the UK so the cast includes the likes of Diana Dors, Michael
Gough, Robert Hardy and Judy Geeson. The male lead is a mostly shirtless
Ty Hardin who probably needed the money to pay for his alimony. Indeed,
this may well be a camp classic; it's certainly impossible to watch it
with anything like a straight face and while Joan may be stiffer than a
poker, at least you can't take your eyes off her.
