Lowdown Dirty Criminals (2019): It tries a little too hard to raise a laugh but it is inoffensive.
Holocaust (TV Mini-series) (1978): A well respected series that balances out respect for the victims and the needs of the viewer reasonably well. The lead castings are fine but the supporting cast in most cases is sheer quality.
To Live and Die in L.A. (1985): I'm sure there were plot holes but things went too quickly to spot them. Great camera work and choreography to complement the stunt team.
Never Look Away (Werk ohne Autor) (2018): There is plenty of time to admire the excellent production values but there is not a great deal else to justify the running time. The screenplay easily gets distracted and it was like watching a mini–series where padding is inserted to extend things.
American, The (2010): It is easy on the eye but easy to forget – however, the screenplay doesn't lack intelligence.
Unhinged (2020): A plump Crowe is well cast behind the wheel.
Magic of Belle Isle, The (2012): One of those hard to dislike films – the two adult performers keep a handle on things to avoid too much soppiness. Importantly the kids are watchable.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $19.95 | Blu-Ray ~~$34.95~~ $24.95
King of Comedy, The (1982): Grew up watching Jerry Lewis as an excellent visual comedian so it was a bit of an eye opener when I first saw this very good dramatic performance. On the other hand, De Niro's character is a bit one dimensional & repetitive but Lewis makes it worthwhile
Bamboozled (2001): There were segments that were dialogue intensive and they hindered the flow of the film. The screenplay needed to be tighter and for the dancing to do more of the talking.
Alien Nation (1988): It is a very good concept for a screenplay and it deserves a try.
