Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix (2007): Has noisy sound effects that help the excitement – there is rarely a break in the action.; DVD $19.95, $24.95
Battle of the Sexes, The (2017): It will have some interest if you don't already know the story and the outcome.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Irma La Douce (1963): Very long but there are segments of good light comedy. The re–creation of the Parisian market, in particular, is well done.
Vampire Diaries, The (TV Series) (2009): Series 1: More of a soap rather than a horror. Photogenic vampires don't work for me.
Firm, The (1993): It is way too long even with the quality support casting on show. However, Cruise plays a part that requires him to do some acting for a change so it does contain some light entertainment.
True Confessions (1981): It works best on Duvall's side of the screenplay (with support from the likes of veteran Kenneth McMillan), particularly when investigating the crime. The rest is rather flat.
Gandhi (1982): I'm not a fan of a dramatisation of real–life events in lieu of a documentary but this one is sincere and respectful in its telling. The production values are top notch and the cast oozes talent even in the smaller supporting roles.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Rocky V (Rocky 5) (1990): The great thing about this is that it is the last in the series.
Year of the Dragon (1985): A smirking Rourke doesn't help but although the screenplay is overlong it is still for the most part watchable 30 years on.; Blu-Ray $34.95
Rookie, The (1990): Watchable but mainly follows formula.
