Sean reviews this Children's Film Foundation adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's book Friend or Foe. 

Not available on DVD (as far I can see), this film is only available through the British Film Institute website, so it's a very hidden gem.  

Will the film live up to the book?  

Thanks for listening!

Well worth a watch this one, if only for Tom Hanks hairdo! 

Sean talks through the film scene-by-scene and attempts to keep it entertaining. 

Sean also mixes up the format with thank you shout-outs to fellow podcasters for their retweets and adds an outro piece of music. 

A Special Mention to Ben from FilmFloggers for his help and guidance.

Sean watches one of Alan Rickman's finest performances as the Sheriff of Nottingham (Did you know his name was George!?). 

Sean loves Prince of Thieves but feels very conflicted about the tone of the film, which mixes light-hearted medieval action with some pretty dark scenes. 

It's pure 90's adventure rom "which is so damned entertaining, you forget Costner's American accent".

Sean reviews Russell Crowe's directorial debut film. 

It is a very different World War One story than has been put on screen before, focusing upon one Father searching for his missing sons.

For a bit of a change, Sean reviews a Titanic-based film, A Night To Remember (1958). 

He goes through the film, pretty much every scene, and drops more Titanic trivia.

Sean reviews the low-budget, independent film Ripper Untold. 

After spending over two minutes trying to remember a single word and more time distracted by his precariously positioned television, he gets back to taking the listener through the film scene-by-scene. 

Has Sean chosen another stinker or has he found a hidden gem? 

Thanks for listening!

Whilst reviewing the plot, Sean tries not to lose it. 

Stick around for terrible attempts at impressions of both the BBC Home Service and a Cockney accent worthy of Mary Poppins...it's not good.

Starring an actress who looks ridiculously like Matilda, The Nest is a film about a family who are infecting by insects which come out of a teddy bear. 

Competently shot, acted and with some brief but great practical effects, this film just falls short for Sean who was looking for a hidden gem or the next cult classic.

Sean reviews an absolute gem of a film, that is unappreciated and doesn't appear to be widely known. 

Sean describes the story of a man chasing the American Dream who finally snaps, played by Sean Penn (who frankly should've won an Oscar for this).  

Listen in to find out why this film has such a misleading title.
