Review of Pete Kelly's Blues (1955) by David H — 01 Oct 2005

Pete Kelly?s Blues and Dragnet ? Both films written by Richard Breen, and directed by Jack Webb, who also stars. [I]Pete Kelly?s Blues[/I] is about a band trying to be bought out by a producer so he can take their money, and [I]Dragnet[/I] is about a cop just trying to solve a basic case. [I]Pete Kelly?s Blues[/i] works much better as film, and is really pretty good, and while [I]Dragnet[/i] was fun, it just doesn?t work as a film, which makes sense since it started as a show, and ended as a show. Still fun though. [I]Pete Kelly?s Blues[/i]: A- [i]Dragnet[/i]: B.

Hard Times ? [I]Hard Times[/i] stars Charles Bronson, who looks like he?s drunk throughout the entire film, and James Coburn. Bronson is a street fighter, and Coburn is pretty much his manager, and sets him up fights and what. That?s pretty much it, and the film follows the two as they win more and more fights. It?s a really awesome film and has some great fight scenes in it. Check it out if you can get your hands on it. A.

Say Anything ? I?ve been catching up on my 80s films, so I finally watched this, and it was really great. Definitely the best teen romance I?ve seen. It was just so good! That?s it. A.
