Inherit the Wind (1960): Religious arguments are unsolvable & unending & it is reflected in this film which is too long and therefore loses its impact. Harry Morgan is excellent as the calm judge & provides relief when the 2 leads go over the top. Kelly is a casting mistake.
I'll Be There (2003)
Great Northfield Minnesota Raid, The (1972)
Oliver and Company (1988): Has a solid story baseline on which to let loose some well drawn animal characters – delightful.
Martian Child (2007): Some originality in the plot scenario and a very capable adult cast (Joan Cusack is very good) warrants some attention.
Life at Stake, A (1954): A reasonable if not very original thriller.
Knowing (2009): The plot scenario wasn't too bad but its hard to concentrate on the story telling when there is a distracting performance from the lead to contend with.
Bobby (2006): Emilio has done well to write, direct and act in this film – its not a total success but not a waste of time for the viewer. Whilst it suffers from too much star power the story telling is helped by some worthwhile archival film.
Grandmaster, The (Yi dai zong shi) (2013): Much of the kung–fu is filmed in slow motion which is a negative for those interested in the choreography rather than the violence. The first 45 antagonists getting booted through a window is fine but then it gets tiresome. A very commercial offering.
Night Before, The (2015): A not very original idea – the script is predictably juvenile at times and undemanding.
