I Want To Go Home (1989): I couldn't get onto the same wavelength – perhaps another day.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
How To Deter A Robber (2020): It is easy to watch and it falls into the category of "you could do a lot worse".
Hey Good Looking! (Comme t'y es belle!) (2006): Thanks for the compliment.; DVD $19.95
Melancholia (2011): Some passages linger a bit too long but the casting is a big plus. I always find Gainsbourg, Rampling, and Hurt compelling.
Camille Claudel, 1915 (2013): Although it could be said that the pacing moves as quickly as a work of sculpture it also reflects the time and place. Binoche excels without the aid of wardrobe trappings and a hairdo.
Brother (Brat) (1997): I like the economical running time brought about by slick editing and a to the point screenplay. Also, there are some great mundane indoor and outdoor ( a lot that are wet) shooting locations with a soundtrack that fits.
Lost Boys, The (1987): The first half, with the bridge scene the highlight, is better than the second but the latter does showpiece the terrific work of the makeup department.
Mary Poppins (1964): The musical numbers are excellent – the choreography / the set designs – and I enjoy them more with each viewing.; Blu-Ray ~~$25~~ $18.75
Spellbound (1945): Whilst the screenplay is far from convincing you overlook its weaknesses in the cause of entertainment and root for Ingrid trying to hold things together plot holes and all.
Hair High (2004): More talented mayhem from Bill Plympton aided by a bouncy soundtrack.
