Oklahoma! (1955): Top songs delivered beautifully. Timeless musical.
Show Boat (1951): Top songs delivered beautifully. Timeless musical.
Retreat (2011): As portrayed the plot is not really convincing. Some excellent location shooting. Bell is annoying in this one.
Darkness in Tallinn (1993): A bleak comedy based upon an excellent premise.
Sex and the City - The Movie (2008): Its hard to make characters depicting the well off interesting beyond a few minutes – the minimum would be a strong script. I don't know how much they paid the humping dog but I got sick of the sight of it. My comedy tastes are higher than that.
Just Like Heaven (2005): Plot premise seems a bit familiar. The two leads have been in and deserve much better.
Day of the Triffids (TV Mini-Series) (2009): Good casting with Brian Cox not playing a triffid. The visuals are very good and are based on one of Sci Fi's legendary stories.
When Night Is Falling (1995): The small cast is terrific with Don McKellar being the icing on the cake. The music is perfect. The Director/writer uses imaginative scene sets and creates an appropriate atmosphere. Those hard to please critics at "Time Out" like it so it must be good.
Jack Brown Genius (1994): A curiosity of local film making that deserves to be watched particularly by a Wellington audience. At least its different.
Queen Bee (1955): An actor's film. Joan at her bitchy best.
