Bobby Fischer Against the World (2011)
A compactly made documentary that doesn't get sidetracked and is informative about its subject.
Jesus Camp (2006)
The documentary raises the important issue of evangelicalism aimed at children. Whilst to a mature minded audience it can be laughed off the problem should not be ignored. File this documentary under "Crime".
Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami (2017)
The gaps in between the musical segments (which were good) were filled in mainly by showing Grace applying makeup and chattering and other uninteresting stuff.
After the Storm (Umi yori mo mada fukaku) (2016)- The title refers more to the marriage break up rather than the typhoon toward the end of the film. The main character's detective work along with its characters is abandoned midway so the screenplay is a bit untidy. Kirin Kiki's performance stands out.
Z Channel - A Magnificent Obsession (2004)- There is a fair balance between the channel's main player Jerry Harvey and the eclectic range of the films shown (in their uncut versions where applicable). A very generous amount of film clips is complemented by a very respectable raft of interviewees.
Les Enfants Terribles (The Strange Ones) (1948)- Hard to classify but the screenplay is always interesting and unpredictable.
Dottie Gets Spanked (1993)- The seven–year–old who is playing the six–year–old is excellent.
Kill List (2011)- The opening scene puts you on your guard & you spend the rest of the film waiting for Neil Maskell to blow. He's a convincing nutter & the rest of the cast are also very good. Although the final scenes are not quite convincing the whole is well worth it.
A Field in England (2013)- A small cast and crew, rent a field plus a piece of rope and a box of matches, a wind fan, a dull day and a sense of humour. What more do you need?
My Winnipeg (2007)
- The selection of archival film is well done and so is the entertaining/informative narration which at times also has a political bite to it.rnA film that is not aimed at tourists for a change but is wonderfully depressing.
