CocoCoco (2017)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) Quality animation with a reasonable story and characters but the overall product is not a step up for Pixar.
HeadshotHeadshot (2011)
2 stars (Good Try) The screenplay jumps around in time – back and then forward again except maybe a bit to the side from where we were before before going back again but not as far back as we were before – with a few time warps thrown in. Not sure the effort was worth it.
DVD $29.95
Black GoldBlack Gold (2006)
4 stars (Very Good) Africa's place in the global trading system is well explained. Africa's plea is to be able to trade on a level playing field and not have to compete against subsidies seems reasonable enough. Go, Africa! A great (African of course) soundtrack.
DVD $19.95 $10
Dinosaur 13Dinosaur 13 (2014)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) I half expected that the dinosaur would spend more time buried in the US legal system than she did in the ground. It reminded me of another heavy–handed approach by law enforcement agencies that made things worse "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" (1997).
This Ain't No Mouse Music!This Ain't No Mouse Music! (2013)
4 stars (Very Good) A must for blues/roots fans.
Once, at a Border - Tony Palmer's film about Stravinsky Once, at a Border - Tony Palmer's film about Stravinsky (1982)
3 stars (Good Enough) His music may be admired but it is hard on the ear. However, the man has an interesting story supported by good archival footage but the narration at times has a dialect that is difficult to understand.
Greatest Show On Earth, TheGreatest Show On Earth, The (1952)
2 stars (Good Try) There are some good segments in the screenplay but not enough to warrant its length.
Salt and FireSalt and Fire (2016)
3 stars (Good Enough) A strange screenplay which takes a while to take off. The screenplay is untidy in that Michalowski & Bernal's characters were never required and do disappear but its ending is at no stage easy to predict. The location shooting on the flats is stunning.
DVD $29.95
DisobedienceDisobedience (2017)Aro Favourite
2 stars (Good Try) The screenplay isn't that interesting but will destroy any good mood that you are in.
DVD $20 $15
CatsCats (1981)
2 stars (Good Try) DVD release date = 1998. Starring Elaine Paige. With the exception of one tune, not a tuneful musical but the wardrobe is excellent are there are some good dance moves.
