Shorty’s Film Reviews

185 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Triumph of the Will (1935): Instructive to see Hitler, and various other shouty men, in full flight. Expertly made pomp porn.
John Osborne and the Gift of Friendship (2006): "I'll never be a member of the congregation".
Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (TV Series) (1973): "I'm not messing it up, I'm making some adjustments." HEAPS funnier than Phantom of the Opera
Entertainer, The (1960): A tired and tawdry post–war Britain looking for its soul in bathing beauty pageants, music hall etc. Olivier is in fine form.
Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, A (1966): Great cast. No old gag left unturned.
American Film Theatre - The Homecoming (1973)
Peeping Tom (1960): Still creepy and confronting after all these years.
Unforgivable Blackness (2004): How the United States of America could not cope with Jack Johnson. Fine music soundtrack by Wynton Marsalis.
Producers, The (1968): OTT. LOL.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Tár (Tar) (2022)
