Valentine - Jim Brickman

Advantages: some pretty faces in the film
Disadvantages: poor acting, easy to guess who the killer is

...Ok I guess I must have been really bored to have sat through this film recently. I had heard of it before watching it and had not a good impression of it. I?m not a fan of horror films at all but was told that it wasn?t really scary and that I would have to see it to believe how bad it was. STORY (what little there is...) The film starts with us seeing Jeremy, a teenager who?s a bit of a geek, asking various girls to dance with him at the high school Valentine Ball and being cruelly rejected by all of them bar one, Dorothy, who is slightly chubby (but this is USA slightly chubby means she?s seen by all as really fat), who goes under the stage and has a bit of a kissing session with him till some other kids see them and she claims he forced himself on her.

Advantages: Greatest driver in the 1960s, a proper gentleman
Disadvantages: No longer with us

...This is a review of a number of sites in Scotland linked to the late Jim Clark which are little known about except to local residents & racing enthusiasts.

He was born in Kilmany in Fife on the 4th March 1936, when he was four years old he moved with his parents to a farm in Duns in North Berwickshire. Just after his 17th birthday his career as a motor racing driver started racing a Sunbeam Talbot Mk3 Saloon after joining the Berwick & District Motor Club.
