Butterfly on a Wheel (2007): So so viewing – not bad but nothing special.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016): They've given the wardrobe a light dusting, patched up the laser holes and churned out another actioner under the label of science fiction. The special effects are as usual impressive.
Burn After Reading (2008): Terrific script backed up with the right casting & from major to small parts they deliver their lines to effect. The quality of the support cast makes a difference & the scenes featuring JK Simmons with David Rasche are classic. Another Cohen Bros ripper.
Alice in the Cities (1974): The standout is the relationship between the journalist & kid developing with little sentimentality – entirely believable. The second standout was Canned Heat on the jukebox "On the Road Again" – & along with worn props & locations fitted in perfectly.
Goldstone (2016): It is nothing out of the ordinary screenplay wise and its not too original but it is watchable.
Postman, The (1998): This is long even for a Costner project. Patton is a reasonable nutter.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Accountant, The (2016): The casting of JK Simmons and John Lithgow helps the interest level which struggles with a lack of tightness in the screenplay.
Storks (2016): A combination of babies and storks are a good basis for entertainment as long as they are animated.
Burn Burn Burn (2016): A very good supporting cast but the screenplay has been done before more or less.
Hannah and Her Sisters (1986): Don't these people ever stop talking and whining? Allen correctly cast as the neurotic. Has a compulsory jazz score.
