Year One (2009)
Citizenfour (2014): The documentary has some mundane moments but overall its a worthwhile subject to bring to our attention. Well done to Messrs. Snowden and Greenwald and the film makers.; DVD $29.95
U-571 (2000): The screenplay wasn't too convincing. McConaughey didn't seem to be with us during this one. rn
Casino (1995): The beautiful photography aside the excess violence and the limited use of the English language soon gets tiresome then boring. You wish the characters would either grow up or sod off.
Scream 3 (2000): A combination of comedy and horror which works and doesn't work.
Summer of '42 (1971): The script and screenplay are very dated 45 years on and the boys get a bit tiresome. The soft photography (not pornography) is a plus though and the theme music a winner.
Signal, The (2014): Thwaites struggles a bit in his lead role but this is more than compensated for by the casting of Fishburne as Mr Cool. The screenplay is intelligent – it contains some violence but without overpowering the sci–fi aspects.
Conviction (2010)
Weiner (2016): Its starts off interesting enough with Weiner going out to bat for the "little man" in Congress but what follows is par for the political course and has been outrumped.
25 April (2015): Its a good way to freshen and add to our knowledge about the campaign and hopefully the animation approach will attract younger viewers.; DVD ~~$30~~ $22.50
