300 (2006): If you can stomach the slow–motion violence you can have a laugh at the male posturing and at the stirring final scene. What is worthy of attention however is the artwork.
Bad Company (2002): Anthony Hopkins seems to be one of those performers who needs to be working all the time – no matter what is on offer.
Conversations with Other Women (2005): Because nothing happened I spent the running time working out how Helena could give Eckhart the push so that we could all go home.
Pixote (1981): Very believable (unfortunately).
Matilda (1997): The first half is strong but the screenplay weakens a little once it gets into St. Trinians territory. Throughout the production values are excellent.
Girl Asleep (2015): Not all of the ideas have translated well – e.g. the dream sequence is over–ambitious. However, when an idea does work it is excellent as is the choreography, artwork & set designs. Bethany Whitmore is the glue but the dick head dad is the scene–stealer.
Mule, The (2018): Clint has been doing these for a few years now. The mule stays on the straight and narrow path. It is a no risker.
Game Night (2018): I didn't realise this was a comedy but as a drama, it failed to hold the attention.
Last Mimzy, The (2007): Yes, the special effects are used sensibly and don't dominate. It is good solid family storytelling.
Wasp Woman, The (1960): Wasp Woman takes a little while to leave the nest but when she does she adds much–needed bite to the proceedings.
