White Boy Rick (2018): Bruce Dern does a bit of scene–stealing but it is not enough to raise the rest of it to the memorable.
Blind Chance (Przypadek) (1987): The political segments of the screenplay were interesting – more so than those concerning the lead character's personal life – in that they attempted to capture the conflicting issues of the time.
Hand That Rocks the Cradle, The (1992): It has dated a bit 25 years on but the casting still holds some appeal.
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1970): A competent Hammer production including as usual a competent cast and set designs.
Fallen Idol, The (1948): It is very well written and although the kid is annoying there is compensation in that the adult lead is the great Ralph Richardson.
Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda (2017): Unusually for a biographical portrait the documentary does not rely on interviewees and it is all the better for it considering the tranquility of the subject.; DVD $29.95
Yellow is Forbidden (2017): I've seen many unwearable clothes walked down the documentary runway but these take the cake. However whatever the final fate of these garments they certainly are a work of art.
Aquaman (2018): It contains some very good artwork and special effects but even these wear thin before the end is in sight.
Antz (1998): In comparison with others in the crowded animation genre it is not great but it is well worth a watch.
Quick and the Dead, The (1995): The screenplay is a bit repetitive and you don't really care what happens to the characters. Performance–wise Hackman is a bit too strong for the rest of the cast.
