Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Tara H (294) on 14 Mar 2016

Review of The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)

By Tara H (294) on 14 Mar 2016

Review of Susan Lenox (1931)

By Tara H (294) on 14 Mar 2016

Despite a promisingly gritty start, this soon descends into the kind of soapy melodrama that MGM liked to waste Garbo's talents in…

Review of Eva (1962)

By Tara H (294) on 14 Mar 2016

Slightly campy Euro drama, directed by Joseph Losey, but towering performances from Jeanne Moreau as 'femme fatale' Eva, and Stanley Baker…

Review of Crazy Heart (2009)

By Tara H (294) on 14 Mar 2016
