Shorty’s Film Reviews

188 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Taste of Honey, A (1961): Love and prejudice set against some magnificently grim backdrops of post–war northern England towns. Originally banned in NZ says Wikipedia!
In Their Own Words - British Novelists (2010)
Judgement at Nuremberg (1961): Having a big–name Hollywood cast – fine as they all are – distracts a little from the serious heft of the movie.
Wizard Mode (2016): Warm–hearted look at young man making sense of the world and pinball machines. "Apparently, not every moment in life will be fun . . ."
Rosewater (2014): A cheeky movie that wears its heart on its sleeve.
Island of Lost Souls (1933): Passably blood–curdling.
Fantastic Voyage (1966): Honey, I shrunk the Proteus! The science is shonky, the sexism is casual, and the dialogue is also worth a laugh or two. Fun special effects.
First Australians (TV Series) (2008): Documentary excellence.
Still Life (2013): A quiet film about a quiet man. A gem!; DVD $29.95
Circle, The (2000)
