Grown Ups (2010): With the exception of Buscemi you wish the males would push off and give the ladies a go. Even more of a balance on screen time would have helped.
Pufnstuf (1970): Interesting – a bit different to normal. Only negative was the screeching of the characters particularly the hags.
Patch Adams (1999): The original story idea is fine but William's character wears thin after ten minutes, Williams has an improbable romance, it sermonises and gets soppy & so does the soundtrack.
Fire Down Below (1997): Seagal in the ultimate "sticks out like a sore thumb"role. I assume his casting was serious so its best treated as a comedy. A very good support cast try not to look too embarrassed.
Until They Sail (1957): As nothing happens story wise and the acting talent is not really used the only point of interest is some of the location shooting.
Queen of Earth (2015): Great opening shot of Moss's face & it appears periodically throughout the film complemented by some of Waterson as they kill time together. The dialogue wasn't very interesting but the musical score helped create an atmosphere.
Changeling (2008): Even for Eastwood its long & it took a long time to find a finish. The story is interesting so hopefully there is a documentary available so that we can find out what really happened (there is a book see IMDb).Period set designs & costumes are faultless.
Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, The (2014): Her segment is just as boring as the Him segment – the characters are so uninteresting but at least the HER one has the great Isabelle Huppert in a support role.
Knight's Tale, A (2001): The best bits are when Bettany (very good) is working with Tudyk and Addy. The first 41 jousts are fine then they become much of a sameness – the film gradually loses its way but the bizarre modern rock soundtrack helps.
Solitary Man (2009): Pertinent title for this waste of space of a character. The talented Susan Sarandon hardly appears.
