Mrs. Winterbourne (1995): Even with Shirley on the payroll, the screenplay doesn't really succeed, and although the performances have energy, as a comedy it doesn't rate that well.
Chicago Joe and the Showgirl (1990): The screenplay was only adequate but it did enough to generate interest to undertake further reading of the case.
Girl Who Played with Fire, The (2009): The screenplay has some contrivances and gets a bit silly toward the end but it is entertaining enough.
Platoon (1986): It was commendable that the screenplay portrayed some authenticism e.g. illegal actions by the platoon but overall it was disappointing. What wasn't believable was the platoon yelling & shouting at each other throughout the film whilst in enemy territory
Never Let Go (1960): Todd is pretty weak but Sellers gives a very good threatening performance. The supporting cast as usual in these British dramas has plenty of solid character actors. The screenplay is uncomplicated but the location shooting is late 50's London.
2040 (2019): The intrusive and unnecessary soundtrack was a distraction. It might have been an eco–friendly documentary but it wasn't viewer friendly.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
Go For Zucker! (Alles auf Zucker!) (2005): There are some good light comedy segments and well worth watching.
Kismet (1955): The screenplay is average but some of the songs are outstanding.
Henry The 4th (Henri 4, Henry of Navarre) (2010): The battle scenes were well done and the wardrobe seemed to fit the period but the endless screenplay seemed to repeat itself which I suppose it means it was true to life. Not a bad history lesson though.
Drugstore Cowboy (1989): An excellent performance from Matt Dillon does good service to the well written screenplay. The camera work on some of the seedy parts of Portland also helps.; Blu-Ray $34.95
