Spandau Ballet: Soul Boys of the Western World (2014): The first half of the documentary is it strongest with good use of archival film, gimmickry, and slick editing. The second half is more typical of band histories – arguments and split–ups etc. – but it is interesting enough.
Mango Kiss (2004): There is more kissing than comedy.
Free Solo (2018): I couldn't understand much of what Alex Honnold said through his poor enunciation but he handles the climbing segment of the documentary much better. Some good location scenery.
Disconnect (2012): What started off as a well–intentioned message–driven screenplay takes on more than it can chew and weakens out quite badly, relying on plot contrivances and finally descends into melodrama.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
Snowman, The (2009): It introduces an interesting conspiracy theory but then the viewing gets harder when the documentary maker interviews her own family about her father with unsettling results.
Spitfire (2018): It is good to record for posterity the words of combat veterans.
Chasing Ice (2012): Even if you are a climate change skeptic the photography is well worth watching. Ice is a beautiful subject.
Dark Crimes (2016): With all due respect to the talented Charlotte Gainsbourg if they had have shot this in Polish with Polish actors it would have given the screenplay a much better chance of succeeding.; DVD $29.95
Fear (1996): A pretty predictable screenplay.
Hotel Artemis (2018): Plenty of action but it is all a bit messy and confusing.
