The Boat That Rocked (2009)


A band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that wanted classical music, and nothing else, on the airwaves.

Likeable dramedy with not much of a story, but with its lively, offbeat cast and the music does make it a feelgood watch.

Maltin**: "It's staffed by a colorful bunch of oddballs...Unfortunately, once the film sets its premise it goes nowhere. Good cast and a soundtrack full of oldies can only help so much."

It is a curious thing that at my age - fifty-five last birthday - I should find myself taking up a pen to try and write a history.

The Babadook (2014)


A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.

What at first appears to be a conventional horror thriller with a ghost slyly turns our expectations in different directions and surprises with an unusual ending.

Emma (1996)


While matchmaking for friends and neighbors, a young 19th-century Englishwoman nearly misses her own chance at love.

Very competent made-for-TV adaptation of Jane Austen's novel needn't hide behind the cinema production from the same year.

Biljana Meseldzija


Death Train (1993)


A German Scientist has aided an ex Soviet general in constructing a nuclear weapon which is now in the possession of an American mercenary heading across Europe in a hijacked goods train.

Despite having a star cast this made-for-TV thriller with a far-fetched, nearly ridiculous story can't spark any tension.
