Elevator to the Gallows (Lift to the Scaffold, aka. Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud) (1958): Excellent plot.Well paced.Minimum of violence.Low body count.
Ashes of Time (1994): Redux :Takes a while to understand the "plot" and whose who but there are some impressive visuals.
Welcome to the Jungle (The Rundown) (2003): Walken is great as usual and Rosario Dawson very good. Dwayne contributes by taking his shirt off.
Backdraft (1990): This is a MANS film. The extra * is for the special effects team.
There's Something About Mary (1998): Grubby at times which is a sign of desperation.There is not the cast or plot for this to last above an hour.
Taking Lives (2004): Excellent start but then Jolie's character appears and her casting revealed as being silly and the film doesn't really recover.
Sauna (2008): Set in a little known part of history its bleak in a Scandinavian kind of way.An intelligent horror.
About Time (2013): An un–credited Richard Griffiths plays his last film role. Bill Nighy and Lindsay Duncan are fine but there is no depth to anything else.
Exorcist, The (1973): The Version You've Never Seen:If you need to see an exorcism film then see this one. Some good "French Connection" street scenes.Well done to Linda Blair and the make–up artists.
You, Me and Dupree (2006): Matt Dillon has been in better films, Michael Douglas is in the wrong film and shows it but Kate Hudson is her usual watchable self.
