Dangerous When Wet, a review by Danae Cassandra




Dangerous When Wet
Year of Release: 1953
Directed By: Charles Waters
Starring: Esther Williams, Fernando Lamas, Jack Carson, Charlotte Greenwood
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Musical

Overview:My Thoughts:
A fun, frothy little musical. Nothing serious here, just a lot of fun watching Esther Williams swim and romance. There's a cute sequence with Tom and Jerry in the middle of the film, which is just about the highlight of the movie. Williams and Lamas are quite serviceable, but Jack Carson's sleazy promoter is more memorable. It's all good-natured fun.

Bechdel Test: Pass

Overall: 2.75/5

Q Planes, a review by GSyren


TitleQ Planes (US title: Clouds Over Europe) (5-027626-404949)
DirectorTim Whelan
ActorsLaurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Valerie Hobson, George Curzon, George Merritt
Produced1939 in United Kingdom
Runtime79 minutes
AudioEnglish Dolby Digital Mono
SubtitlesNone
OverviewStarring alongside Ralph Richardson and Valerie Hobson, Laurence Olivier portrays a test pilot engaged in secret experimental missions in this witty, cleverly plotted World War Two spy drama. Briskly directed by Hollywood veteran Tim Whelan and featuring typically innovative art direction from Vincent Korda, Q Planes is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements.

The frequent disappearance of new bombing planes on their trial flights one off the coast of America, one off the French coast, another in Russia, and a fourth in England - has left the authorities perplexed. While there is no clear evidence of foul play, the authorities call in Scotland Yard, and Major Hammond is assigned to investigate the mystery. He is one of only three men who refuse to believe that the disappearances are not the result of sabotage - much to the resentment of Mr Barratt, head of plane manufacturer Barratt and Ward...
My thoughtsQ Planes Bride of Frankenstein.

A fun little film, but nothing special. Worth seeing for Olivier and Richardson rather then for the actual story.

Miracles Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


Miracles Marathon

4. Little Girl Lost
A little girl keeps appearing to Paul Callan just before several disasters occur, causing him to wonder if she is responsible for them and, if so, why?

My Thoughts:
This is one of my favorite episodes. I was glued to the screen watching this episode. There is something extra eerie about a ghost story when it is about the ghost of a young child. And I must admit... they got a good effect with little effort. just a little bit of a couple different shades of gray makeup on the face of a good child actress. This kid must of been good at taking direction as you could just see the pain and sorrow in her face. I just loved this episode... everyone did an excellent job!
