My haven't horror movies changed over the years, now we get in your face gore, bodies being mutilated where as go back over half a decade and the horror grows from the darkness of the mind. It means that watching 1946 horror ...

There have been many memorable boxing movies over the years, movies such as "Rocky" rank high amongst the most popular. But there are not so many which focus on the boxer himself rather than the sport of boxing. One of the ea...

The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954)

102 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

"The Bridges at Toko-Ri" is not a war movie and it is not an anti-war movie either, which may sound rather stupid when we have a story about the Korean War. But the reason I say this is that at the centre of the movie is pilo...

Earthquake (1974)

123 mins     Action , Disaster, Drama, Thriller      

The 70s were a disaster, or at least they were the era of the disaster movie with the likes of "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno" being a couple of the more notable disaster movies. Unfortunately there were s...

Avalanche Express (1979)

88 mins     Action , Thriller      

There is no hiding from the fact and that is "Avalanche Express" is a disappointing movie, the storyline is dull and at times implausible, the acting is a bit ropey and the action well it's less than exciting. And it is also ...
