Diary of a Teenage Girl, The (2015): The screenplay is very one dimensional but at least its better than the script.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
French Kiss (1995): A fluffy screenplay made worse by Kline's annoying accent.
Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me (2014): Its sad to watch the highs and lows during his illness and the stresses on his family and band members.
Peacock (2009): The screenplay has quite a bit of freshness to it which in itself is worth a watch. The casting is more than useful with Murphy pulling two wage packets and deservedly so. His performance as the bank clerk is top notch.
Winnie the Pooh (2011): Great family entertainment – its short and sweet and so are the characters.
Sea Wolf, The (2009): Its in 2 parts with the best segments those which depict living aboard a small heaving vessel at sea with the resulting conflict situations among the crew.; DVD $24.95
Half of a Yellow Sun (2013): The conflict scenes are handled very well with some good backgrounding archival footage but the other bits – romance etc. – are not interesting and rather stodgy.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $10
Pete's Dragon (2016): It is a good family story with the dragon a winner.
Sleeping Beauty (1959): Some memorable scenes with the birds and the animals and the sisters. We didn't need the prince.
Navigators, The (2001): Effects of privatisation on a group of railway workers & the risks to safety by cost cutting. Its bitter sweet – because the characters are believable it is so easy to empathise & sympathise with them – if you don't then watch more of Loach until you do.
