The Nanny (1965) 8/10

Bette Davis ham's it up in this intelligent Hammer movie but what makes this a classic is the great performance by William Dix as Joey.

The Most Dangerous Game (1932) 8/10

The first time I saw this, as a child, I thought it was amazing but,looking at it with
fresh eyes it does seem very dated and cheap (reusing practically everything from King Kong except the Monkey) however it is still enthralling to watch the scenes where Leslie Banks hunts Joel McCrea and Fay Wray and it's an obvious inspiration for one of my Sci-Fi favourites, Predator.

Angels & Demons 6/10

*Spoiler* Warning *Spoiler*

Not keen on films with alot of branding or the scooby doo ending or Ewan McGregor
(He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that pesky symbologist.)

From what I have read on Wikipedia, the Illuminati was actually a bavarian secret society and so the whole story is hogwash.

I enjoyed a tub of Cherry Garcia though, they should name ice-cream flavours after other famous people like Lemon & McCartney or Mint Eastwood.

Equus- I originally bought this movie because I
like "Amadeus" which is also adapted from a Peter Shaffer play.

It's a thought provoking
play/movie that leaves you thinking "what the hell was that all about?" but in a good way.

Richard Burton
is craggy, brooding and charismatic as in all his movies and for anyone who has ever suspected
that psychiatry/psychology might be a load of bunkum, this movie/play asks some important
questions about the role of psychiatry aswell as about conformity, religion/atheism, modernity, art and humanity.

BTW, male fans of Jenny Agutter might also find the nude stable scenes of interest.

I give this movie 9/10
