Cat's Meow, The (2001): Excellent production values service an interesting screenplay. Edward Herrmann makes a good fist of his Hearst character and Jennifer Tilly steals her scenes and enjoys herself.
A Shriek in the Night (1933): Although the shriek doesn't rise to any great heights it is worth the hour running time.
Changing Lanes (2002): A good plot idea and a good start with the screenplay but it then loses its way and takes a few wrong turns.
A Double Life (1947): The performances were fine as was the plot idea but the screenplay didn't hold the attention.
Another Country (1984): An excellent snapshot of British privilege and hierarchical bullying. None of those cast in the supporting roles would look out of place in a public school. Rupert Everett is outstanding.
Dancer Upstairs, The (2002): The screenplay is contrived at times and its second half weakens badly.; Poster (VG) $12.95
Skate Kitchen (2017): It was okay but the screenplay didn't last the distance. Watch "Kids" (1995).
Rambo: Last Blood (2019): Stallone wrote the screenplay which opens with a close up of his features – I'm sure he thought he was the Marlboro Man the way he was prancing around with his hat & horse. Tears in the eyes handicapped the viewing of what followed after.
Knack and How to Get It, The (1965): It is a Richard Lester film – fresh and always interesting. Rita Tushingham, who often depicts a working class lass, is an excellent casting choice.
Snow Cake (2006): I watched Rickman in "Something the Lord Made" which like this one could have fallen prey to melodrama but didn't & I think Rickman can take a lot of credit for that for both films. Snow Cakes other lead Sigourney Weaver gives another fine performance.
