Richard Says Goodbye (Professor, the) (2018): Goodbye.
Zulu (1969): Whilst the screenplay is racist – it is believable for the time & place. It is beautifully filmed, but it is only a dramatisation & should not be taken as historically accurate. James Booth takes the acting honours & the Zulu choreography is well done.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Road to El Dorado (2000): An entertaining tale with two interesting lead characters – although the musical numbers didn't make much of an impression.
I Vitelloni (1953): The characters are forgettable which is unusual for a Fellini film but nevertheless, it has many delightful moments, the ensemble scenes are great, there are plenty of weepy characters, thinly populated streets, a smoky cinema, and a great musical score.
Fresh Fields (TV Series) (1984-1986): S1: The material is very consistent episode to episode and is good natured comedy.
Chocolat (2000): Although the screenplay is aimed to please it is watchable however thanks to the casting of five main players each of whom is worth top billing in their own right.
Luis and The Aliens (2018): Likeable characters and an entertaining story for the family.
Kubo & The Two Strings (2016): The characters were interesting and a little different/strange – the animation style was also interesting.
1917 (2019): The set designs and props used in the first hour were excellent – perhaps a bit of background gunfire was missing otherwise things looked pretty authentic. The second hour was a waste of time however as the screenplay went off the rails.
Jane Austen Book Club, The (2007): A good idea but it predictably got sidetracked by romance. A good female ensemble cast should have been left alone with their literary pursuits.
