Journey to a Hanging (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

I tell you what, if I have been alive in 1967 and of an age to be a fan of TV westerns I might have ended up a little confused by "Cimarron Strip" and episode 1 "Journey to a Hanging" as it just tosses us into a western town ...

The Legend of Jud Starr (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie      

If you go looking for information on "The Legend of Jud Starr" chances are you won't find much as it was in fact part of "Cimarron Strip" a 23 part series of westerns which I believe were mainly stand alone storylines which i...

Firecreek (1968)

104 mins     Western      

James Stewart made a surprising amount of westerns and whilst the likes of "The Man from Laramie" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" are some of his better known, those lesser known ones such as "Firecreek" are by no mean...

The Greeners (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

"The Greeners" episode 23 of "Cimarron Strip" the last in series one and as it turns out the last episode all together and what an episode to go out on as with the exception of Randy Boone who doesn't appear other than in the...

The Last Day (1975)

100 mins     TV Movie, Western      

Quick question for you? Do you watch a movie firstly to be entertained or firstly to be educated. There is of course no right or wrong answer but for me my preference is entertainment over education although I don't object to...

Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977)

105 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

So after the second movie which saw Herbie left in the care of sweet little old lady Helen Hayes we have Herbie back racing and up to his usual antics. The thing about "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo" the third movie in the Herbi...

Herbie Goes Bananas (1980)

100 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family      

12 years after we had the fun of "The Love Bug" we got the final sequel in the original series of Herbie movies with "Herbie Goes Bananas" although there was the 1997 TV movie and then the Lindsay Lohan lead "Herbie Fully Loa...

Gunsmoke: Return to Dodge (1987)

100 mins     TV Movie, Western      

I will put my hand up straight away, not because I have a lawman's gun pointed at me but because I have never watched a single episode of "Gunsmoke". It isn't something I intentionally did but it just happens the old western ...

Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo (1990)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

Well you have to give the guys who wrote for "Columbo" credit because "Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo" is certainly a bit different to the norm with Columbo himself and his wife the subject of an unhinged woman's revenge. It isn...

Columbo: Death Hits the Jackpot (1991)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

There were some episodes of "Columbo" which were clever and then there were those which were funny and then you get the occasional episode such as "Columbo: Death Hits the Jackpot" which were not just funny they bordered on b...

Columbo: A Bird in the Hand (1992)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

"Columbo: A Bird in the Hand" is what I would call a pantomime episode because everyone in this episode over plays their parts. We have Greg Evigan turning on the evil eyes as Harold anxiously watches Columbo snooping around....

Columbo: It's All in the Game (1993)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

"Columbo: It's All in the Game" is one of those episodes which seems pretty normal as on one hand we have a murder and of course Columbo doing his usual of investigating in his own manner much to the frustration of everyone f...

Columbo: Undercover (1994)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

Columbo: Undercover (1994) Columbo finds himself going undercover in a variety of disguises to find the pieces of a picture involved in a double homicide....

A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Jealous Jokester (1995)

96 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

When it comes to TV movie franchises one of the joys is that due to their nature of being more like extended episodes of a TV show often allows you to watch them in what ever order you like. And that is the case when it comes...

Columbo: Strange Bedfellows (1995)

89 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

It hurts me to say this as I like George Wendt, he is so good when it comes to the humour of the every day guy on the street, the likeable guy but he can't do bad guy or at least not convincingly enough in "Columbo: Strange B...

Columbo: A Trace of Murder (1997)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

Lieutenant walks in to a crime scene with a brown bag full of bananas. Nope it's not the opening line to a joke but the way in which Lieutenant Columbo makes his entry in "Columbo: A Trace of Murder" and seeing this is a 90s ...
