Wailing, The (Goksung) (2016)
The first half of the film, which is close to feature length in itself, has a good mix of comedy and suspense. After that, however, the screenplay treads a lot of water and takes a long time to find an ending.
Wrong (2012)
There is a very fine line in delivering this style of comedy whether it will work or not.
Cashback (2006)- The screenplay depends too much on a lack of taste although there are some good segments around Stuart Goodwin's character and performance.
- DVD $29.95
When You're Strange: A Film About the Doors (2009)
The voice over saved time that would otherwise be spent on interviews and this ensured a better flow and a compact documentary. Overall a good relating of the events that led to the wasting of a good band.
Papillon (1973)- The early scenes during captivity are far the best – the rest of the screenplay needed to lose half an hour to allow the viewer an earlier escape.
- DVD
$15$11.25 
Men in Black 2 (2002)- The special effects and make up teams do a good job.
Mr. Mom (1983)- The screenplay doesn't stand out from similar comedies but the casting is attractive enough.
Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)- An excellent compactly written screenplay – the early setup scenes are very believable. Two excellent performances – I have not seen James Nesbitt better than this.
- DVD
$34.95$19.95 
Pianist, The (2002)- Admirable set designs but because of its familiar content, the screenplay is a bit of a slog.
Flicka (2006)- For its type, it is okay and is well produced.
