Streamers (1983): It is okay but because it is a play filmed in the studio there is no way the audience can escape and they are stuck with the histrionics which wear a bit thin before the end of the long running time.
Born Romantic (2001): Jane Horrocks heads a talented cast and all perform as if they are enjoying themselves.
City By the Sea (2002): An excellent cast who perform well, but although there are some good location shots of a seedy Long Island, the screenplay doesn't convince.
High Life (2019): Have mixed feelings about this – out of respect for the Director I will watch again at a later date. I don't want to deter people from watching it and making up their own minds as it has some good reviews.; DVD $29.95
Rawhide (1951): It is not great but certainly not a time waster– Jack Elam is cast among the baddies – where else(?); DVD $11.95
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (John Wick 3) (2019): The running time is over two hours so there is plenty of repetitive violence but at least it is well choreographed. The set designs, however, are terrific especially the Blade Runner type street scenes.; DVD $39.95 | Blu-Ray $44.95, $59.95
Skin (2019): It doesn't quite maintain the interest set by the early scenes but Jamie Bell is impressive and looks and acts the part.; DVD $29.95
Godzilla II: King of the Monsters (2019): These endless "remakes" make you appreciate just how good the original and nostalgic 1954 version was.; DVD $34.95 | Blu-Ray $39.95, $54.95
Seagull, The (2018): I thought the first half was fine but the second half just didn't fire. Still, the fine performances and photography helped get one through.; DVD $39.95
Mirror Has Two Faces, The (1996): It is overlong and has a Hollywood ending but Steisand's energetic performance helps to maintain the interest.
