Fascinating true story. The movie is very low key, bordering on made-for-TV quality, and the story tends towards the bureaucratic elements more than the human ones, but it still a compelling modern day investigation story.
Robyn and Jodi are sisters.
Sisters who love movies.
And films.
And discussing at length the difference between a movie and a film.
When we go to the movies together, a discussion and evaluation will usually follow. These conversations are often lively and humourous, with insights, comparisons and even catty criticisms!
We will try to capture that here, to share with anybody who is interested, while we bask in our imagined celebrity!

Quartet of creepiness
These Are The Damned (1961) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056576/
Never Take Sweets From a Stranger (1960) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054116/
The Snorkel (1958) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052207/
The Nanny (1965) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059496/
These Hammer films are from a classic series made in the 50s and 60s, and are very interesting, creepy tales, very much ahead of their time. Topics such as nuclear holocaust, abortion, pedophilia, and street gangs are all on offer, with great visuals, soundtracks, and surprisingly recognizable stars. One recurring theme in this quartet: children being truthful but not believed by adults.
