Your answer:
A - The Take-away Man
This is supposed to be a comedy but someone forgot to bring the laughs. Some good acting but the story line is very predictable. A bit too long at over two hours.
B - No Escape
Police films don't come any better than this.Q. 5) A detective gone bad is hunted by the force, and you never know what is around the corner. Q. 5) No big stars, but a lot of big performances, and a great story line.
C - One step too far
This film is based on a Q. 1) true story about the lessons you can learn from an expedition to the South pole, and has Q. 1) some spectacular photography. Try not to miss it if you can.
D - Fire In The Sky
When an island volcano erupts, it is a Q. 4) thrilling race against time to save the villagers, and the sharks are coming to dinner. You won't fall asleep with this Q. 4) action packed adventure.
E - School
School life in America from the inside. Life as it is for young kids in a New York school, with dysfuntional teachers and parents. There is some romance to save it.
F - Love In The Distance
Love overcomes all in this romantic film as a young boy and girl from very different backgrounds Q. 2) manage to say their vows, eventually! You will need a big box of tissues for this one.
G - The Shearing
A riotous tale of a sheep against a butcher, with the help of the local village. Q. 3) You will laugh till you cry. Good acting and a great script.
H - Get Micky
The big stars come out to pick up their pay checks but forget to bring their acting skills. This film is just a farce to get you into the cinema. The plot is weak and the acting non-existant. Very disappointing.
