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..

THE BIG MOUTH ***
Why this Jerry Lewis comedy isn't better known or more widely available
is a mystery since it's a classic and as consistently funny as anything
he did. Here the slapstick verges on the surreal while its 'thriller'
plot is virtually irrelevant. As well as starring, Jerry wrote, produced
and directed and if it never amounts to anything more than a series of
sketches they are, at least, very funny. It's certainly a movie ripe for
rediscovery that, for now at least, will have to settle for ultimate
cult status.
