In the Fade (2017): Well done to Diane Kruger who is on camera most of the film. The backbone to the screenplay is a courtroom battle which is extremely well done and is dominated by a strong performance from Johannes Krisch as the defense attorney.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $15, $29.95
White Noise (2005)
Shooting Livien (2005): As a drama, it is pretty ordinary but the musical segments are worthy.
I Am Not Your Negro (2016): Mr. Baldwin is able to think on his feet, articulate extremely well and to do so without malice.; DVD $24.95
Medallion, The (2003): There are occasional flashes of the Chan talent.
New York, I Love You (2009): Didn't see much of working–class New York. The only segment I cared for was the one with the old stagers Cloris Leachman/Eli Wallach. For the most part, the script was full of romantic drivel and at times it made me cringe.
Whitney (2018): The storytelling was a bit of a slog at times but overall it tries to reveal the facts.
Holy Rollers (2010): The screenplay doesn't amount to much although there some good shots of New York. It is not too long which is another positive.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $19.95
My Life In Ruins (2009): It is very light in material.
Nikita (La Femme Nikita) (1990): First two–thirds are 4* then it plays like there was a change of writer & the screenplay goes off the rails. It is not untypical for a Besson film to start strongly & weaken out. Anne P is outstanding for the most part & is well supported by Tchéky Karyo.
