You Don't Know Jack (2010): It is heavy on the ears and sometimes the emotions. The performances from a fine cast (keep your eye on Susan Sarandon's low key performance as one of the less noisy ones) are a highlight.
Spies in Disguise (2019): Not memorable but certainly entertaining.rn
Event Horizon (1997): It fails to build on a promising start and thereafter doesn't really offer much different to what has been done elsewhere.
Happy, Texas (1999): Okay but the comedy is a bit forced. Maybe on another day perhaps.
Satan Returns (1996): The screenplay is not great but at least it has plenty of energy and some odd bits to keep the interest going.
Midnight Special (2016): It was okay but you couldn't at any stage get rid of the feeling that the screenplay was not delivering on its promises. The kid's shiny eyes were a bit corny and looked as if they had come from a cornflakes packet.
Dune (1984): The screenplay was a mixture. Patience was needed to wait for the very good things that were just around the corner. The effects & set designs were good & the casting was more than interesting with the bad guys led by Kenneth McMillan stealing the show.
Open Water (2003): It is a very simple story and because it has a suspense element inherently built into it only a small budget was required. It should also be complimented on the short running time and for its underhanded ending.
Welcome to the Rileys (2010): Although the screenplay is not memorable the performances see it through.
Exorcist II - The Heretic (1977): Although it made money at the box office it must have done so on the coattails of the original. Not a bad cast though.
