The films reviewed here represent those I have liked or loved over the years. It is not a list of my favourite films but all the films reviewed here are worth seeing and worth seeking out. I know many of you won't agree with me on a lot of these but hopefully you will grant me, and the films that appear here, our place in the sun. Thanks for reading.

THIS ISLAND EARTH
The best and certainly the most imaginative of all the 'flying saucer' movies. The effects may be crude and hardly special and the acting more wooden than a row of book shelves but an outstanding use of color, a reasonably intelligent script and some amazing art direction, (considering the budget), put "This Island Earth" in an altogether different league from its contemporaries. A sci-fi movie that both adults and kids can enjoy in equal measure.
