Code Name: Emerald (1985)


In April 1944 an allied agent is sent to France in order to rescue an "Overlord" captured by the Germans.

Old-fashioned WWII double agent thriller with an unusual plot professionally produced and with a well-selected cast.

Halliwell (no star): "Plodding, old hat melodrama with no specific virtues."

Maltin **: "Old-fashioned WW2 espionage tale...Credibility is undermined by miscasting Stoltz, who looks way too young to be an intelligence lieutenant and the target Overlord."

The Chair (2007)


A young psychology student is trying to rebuild her life when she sublets a century-old Victorian house and unknowingly awakens an evil specter lurking in the dark recesses of her new home.

Silly horror movie that starts off as a psychological thriller, then descends into an abyss of nonsense.
