Topper(1937)
Cary Grant and Constance Bennett star as the ghosts of George and Marion Kerby,killed in a car accident.Also starring Roland Young as Topper,the only person who can see or hear them.A delightful comedy with some very good optical effects,directed by Norman Z.McLeod based on the novel by Throne Smith.
8/10

Prophecy(1979)
A logging company that dumps its waste,inadvertently mutates a grizzly bear which goes on a killing spree.A top cast featuring Thalia Shire,Armande Assante and Richard Dysart can't distract from just how awful this is.Its just a case of a very good director in John Frankenheimer,making a very bad film.

Trog(1970)
One of those films where you wonder if anyone ever stopped and said "What the fuck are we doing?."Great fun if you're in a cruel mood,otherwise it's just depressing.Also notable for being Joan Crawford's last film.

Trumbo(2015)
Jay Roach known mostly for Meet the Fockers directs Bryan Cranston as Dalton Trumbo,the celebrated author.Although it doesn't go as deep as it could or should have,it does highlight Trumbo's genial talent and Cranston puts in a wonderful performance.
