Vertical Limit: Excellent scenery in this film, but the story was just… forced. The climbing scenes did hit my fear for heights though. I’m not really sure it’s worth watching, unless you’re into climbing, perhaps.I give it 5/10. The Bridge on the River Kwai: An interesting movie about prisoners of war held by the Japanese […]
Film Log
