Black and White (2002): An interesting screenplay is well served by some good performances from David Ngoombujarra and Charles Dance who I don't remember being better. Excellent support from Roy Billing and Chris Haywood add flavour.
Crossroads (2002): Not sure how Dan Aykroyd found his way into this, maybe he took a wrong turn, but although he looks a little lost and out of place, he does provide some relief.
Comfort and Joy (1984): A gangster feud but no one gets hurt – no blood spilled only ice cream. Delightful.
Family Stone, The (2005): A pretty good female ensemble lightens the load somewhat.
Another Woman's Life (2012): It needed the strength of Juliette's screen personality to make the screenplay watchable.; DVD $29.95
Chorus, The (Les Choristes) (2004): Although this kind of plot is quite familiar it has good period details and a fine voice.
Devil's Brigade, The (1968): The plot idea is familiar.
Flame and Citron (2008): The first hour and a bit were very strong but the screenplay gradually began to repeat itself. Excellent production values though do help throughout.
Civilization of Maxwell Bright, The (2005): The screenplay doesn't always work but at least it is different if a bit trying at times. There is a good cameo from Jennifer Tilly and Carol Kane pops in as well.
Fearless (Jet Li's Fearless; Huo Yuan Jia) (2003): Well made, and the screenplay has its interesting elements but the choreography is its strength.
