Pink Panther, The (2006): Not sure why they made this but Martin does his best and makes it entertaining with his site gags working quite well.
Delicatessen (1992): The use of the different parts of the building as the cornerstone of the action, coupled with the smoky coloured (sepia?) filming, was well conceived. There was never a dull moment.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Ride Like a Girl (2019): It makes the claim that the Melbourne Cup is the toughest horse race in the world – that is doubtful because it is run on the flat. Otherwise, it is a nice dramatisation that won't do any harm to the sport.
Zoe (2018): An interesting premise that you wanted to succeed but it really failed to take off and was a bit robotic.; DVD $29.95
Hot Air (2018): One thing they did get right was the title.
Girls of the Sun (Les filles du soleil) (2018): The composition of the combatants does help the interest level and the confusing action sequences are particularly well done.
Anywhere But Here (1999): Natalie sensibly appears not to compete with the acting talents of Susan S (who is terrific) but instead, she is a good foil. In other hands, this may have turned out soppy.
In Your Hands (Au bout des doigts) (2018): A predictable mainstream offering which, except for the silly ending, is watchable for the most part.
Slogan (1969): Whilst you can't relate to any of the characters there is Jane Birkin's freshness and naturalness to admire. There are also some short films (adverts.) within the film that are extremely well done.
Bend It Like Beckham (2002): Very mainstream but the two leads give such appealing performances that it is hard to dislike. The main downside was the Rhys Meyers character which at the end of the day we could have done without.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
