2 Fast 2 Furious (The Fast and the Furious 2) (2003): The screenplay is limited to cars going round and round but saves the cost of a scriptwriter.
Fat Tony & Co (TV Mini-series) (2014): The formula for this kind of Underbelly drama is now well established. A narration which is light hearted at times makes the characters more acceptable as part of every day life. The action is often captured by some annoying slow motion camera work.
Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1982): The screenplay is only mildly funny but at least it is not too long. The photography is a standout.
Autopsy of Jane Doe, The (2016): It has some freshness in the screenplay which is some achievement working in this genre. It also contains some tense moments and Brian Cox.
Men, Women and Children (2014): It probably has good intentions as a warning against the internet playing too large a role in our lives but it is hardly riveting viewing. There is some acting talent here and there in the adult cast.
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970): To state the obvious it is a product of its time – although it is now dated it deserves to be seen and can still be enjoyed.
Gimme Shelter (2013): Vanessa Hudgens tries her heart out but the screenplay is ordinary and has been done a few times before.
That Darn Cat! (1965): The cat handler does well – Hayley lifts it a notch and Neville Brand is one of the better bad character actors but it loses its impetus because of length.
Whole Truth, The (2016): A throw back to the days when every second film was a court room drama. It is not too long and watchable but the suspense doesn't rise to any great heights.
Ocean's Eleven (Ocean's 11) (1960): There are some good moments but the screenplay is too elongated for its own good. It takes too long to assemble all the criminals and then dispose of them – "Ocean's Six" would have worked better.
