The Hot Spot (1990) An excellent and underrated neo noir directed by Denis Hopper where Don Johnson drifts into a small Texas town and soon finds trouble with the law and women (femme fatale Virginia Madsen & teenager Jennifer Connelly). Connelly & Johnson are good, but Madsen's enjoyable performance tends to steal scenes. The script is witty with some innuendo and you can almost feel the sultry, summer heat in the small town.There's an interesting soundtrack, a mixture of jazz,blues and 1990s music. Also starring Jerry Hardin & William Sadler 8/10

Hercules(2014) An unpretentious and enjoyable take on the often told story with Dwayne Johnson good in the title role backed up by such reliable performers as Ian McShane, John Hurt and Rufus Sewell. 6/10

Lift To The Scaffold(1958) A masterly French noir directed by Louis Malle as a businessman(Maurice Ronet) plans an ingenious killing of his lover's husband only for things to unravel in many unexpected ways..... A combination of tension,clever twists, great Paris night time noir cinematography and an excellent Miles Davis score. Also the amazing Jeanne Moreau as the lover, there's one scene where she walks through downtown Paris at night, looking for Ronet, with very little dialogue just Miles Davis in the background that tells you so much about their back story. 9.5/10
