Peter Kay - Live at the Bolton Albert (2003): A good seamless delivery.
Peter Kay - Live at the Top of the Tower (2004): My introduction to Peter Kay.
Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder (2014): It produces a mixed bag.
Red Corner (1998): The screenplay doesn't really flow particularly in the courtroom where constant translation was required. A role that didn't look to suit Richard Gere.
Far From Heaven (2002): In relation to the issues raised in the screenplay, everything is too obvious, and the characters are not convincing but are dumb in their actions. As a period piece, however, it looks great.
National Lampoon's Vacation (1983): Its early scenes are the strongest, and not even John Candy can bolster the tail end, but overall it is doing well to last over 50 years and counting.
Lost Horizon (1937): The characters arrive in Shangri–La whip their fags out, and light up; Blu-Ray $19.95
Taps (1981): A silly screenplay, but then again these days, truth can spring more surprises than fiction.
Bug (2006): A bit different to the normal horror fare with Michael Shannon made to order.
Conversation, The (1974): A very good and always topical plot idea is transferred extremely well to the screen. A low key but effective performance from Hackman helps.
