Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005): As the attractiveness of watching the two stars wore off after five minutes the thin material became repetitive and needed to be curtailed much sooner than it was.
About a Boy (2002): It was a race as to who was the most annoying – Grant or young Spock. I'm a fan of Toni Collette and thanks to her I didn't break anything.
Il Postino (Postman, The) (1994): It has used one of the most beautiful filming locations and the photography does it justice. It falters a bit toward the end but for the most part, the screenplay avoids being over sentimental which is really some achievement.
Get Out (2017): The screenplay is intelligent until it shows its hand from which point it largely reverts to familiar horror territory.
Heart Dances, The (2018): It has a good mix – showing the casting process, stressful meetings,cultural issues, rehearsal footage etc..
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000): The Chinese location panorama shots were impressive as were the choreography and stunt work. The character of the young pocket battleship was a winner and she left just enough males standing so as not to jeopardise the future of the human race.
Ratatouille (2007): Not as strong as others in the Pixar canon but very good all the same.
Anonymous (2011): It is a screenplay you can dip into and enjoy the performances without worrying about the plot. A top–notch cast on a busman's holiday with set designs to be admired.
Nowhere to Run (1992): Why did the distressed damsel have to be Rosanna Arquette?
What Just Happened (2008): Unfortunately for the film it doesn't tell us anything new – thanks to Hollywood's own publicity machine and the large media coverage the industry attracts. However De Niro does well in a marathon effort.
