All Governments Lie (All Governments Lie: Truth, Deception and the Spirit of I. F. Stone) (2016): I am now reading more of I. F. Stone.
Becoming Jane (2007): As expected the props and wardrobe are spot on. There is cream in the supporting cast headed by Maggie Smith and Ian Richardson.
Lars and the Real Girl (2007): It might have been okay as a short film but this wears out its welcome after half an hour. There is a very good cast who all must have read the screenplay before taking it on which is the surprising thing for me.
Philadelphia Experiment, The (1984): It is not great but it might encourage further reading into claims that this event really happened.
Expendables, The (2010): The first half of the film is spent rounding up the cast from their rest homes.
Bee Gees - One Night Only (1997): The three brothers are interviewed in a bonus feature plus the concert is not too bad.
Civil Action, A (1999): Travolta is not too bad in this one and there is a very talented support cast. The book on which it is based is I believe better than the screenplay.
St. Elmo's Fire (1985): The male kids just get tiresome.
Mulholland Falls (1996): 4 grown men dressed alike continually travelling around together just looks sillier and sillier. There is not a great deal to the screenplay but the set designs, props and wardrobe are spot on.
Brimstone (2016): Dakota since her childhood has always had a good screen presence and its really the saving grace here. The screenplay tries a bit too hard to shock and is too long.
