Homefront (1991)
An exceptional series!
It seems as though this wonderful series received the same cavalier treatment in Australia as it did in the States. It scored a terrible late-night timeslot which chopped and changed from one week to the next - you never knew if you'd be sitting up until 1am on a weeknight in order to see it... BUT, such was the quality of the storyline, script and actors that I DID sit up until all hours to watch it (I couldn't risk setting the vcr to tape it in case they did change the start time that week!).
It's now been 10 years since it has screened here and yet I still hold it fondly in my heart as one of my favourites.
PLEASE Warner Bros, release this fine series on DVD!!
Groovie Movie (1944)
Swing baby, Swing!
Groovie Movie is not just groovy, it's GREAT! I'd heard about this little gem quite some time ago, but being from the '40s, it's not one you come across that often. For anybody into the swing scene - or if you appreciate dancing of any kind - then this is for you. This is the real deal! Only a short film, Groovie Movie contains some amazing dance scenes. Very smooth, very stylish - yet fun. While ostensibly a dance instruction film, Groovie Movie is so much more. Highly recommended - if you can find it! Now where are my dance shoes... I must go and work on a few of those crazy steps!!
