Hotel Mumbai (2018): The best scenes are the early outside location shots prior to the inside location shootings. This well–made massacre drama should fill the gap between your evening and nightly TV news bulletins.
Soul Plane (2004): If the question of taste is an issue then only parts of it are funny. I didn't think all of it was funny but overall found it good–natured and inoffensive.
Death of a Salesman (1985): Whilst its good to record plays this one is too long. Listening to a character – one that you can't sympathise with – for 2 hours is beyond the call of duty. If he can't be got rid of in the 1st act then at least drug him & give the audience some peace.
Suspiria (1977): It is a little different from commercial horror offerings if for nothing else the set designs, artwork and a thy shall not sleep music score.
Falling in Love (1984): Although nothing much happens it is performed well and Harvey Keitel and Dianne Wiest in support add to the strength of the casting.
Amazing Grace (2006): A terrific cast do justice to the excellent screenplay which in the main doesn't get sidetracked or get too melodramatic. The screenplay does well to represent both sides of the argument and the debates in the House are its strength.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Top End Wedding (2019): It is likeable enough but it is a bit more silly than funny.
Miss Sadie Thompson (1953): For the whole film, each character yells at all the other characters who are also yelling at all the other characters.
Bargee, The (1964): Corbett, Barker, and Sykes, needless to say, are very good and there are plenty of comedic supporting actors also on show with Hugh Griffith good enough to hold centre stage at times. The canal keeps watch over proceedings.
Ramen Girl, The (2008): The screenplay is predictable but Brittany and Toshiyuki really do work well off each other with the latter convincing as the grumpy chef.
