Violent Saturday (1955): One of the bank robbers arrives in town on foot after walking from the bus – a good touch. It has an old fashioned stick up and also and old fashioned shoot out to finish off.
Maggie's Plan (2015): The casting is fine and the performances are fine and everything is fine except it didn't appeal.
Lego Movie, The (2014): I'm not a Lego person so the characters didn't mean a great deal to me but some of the other animation such as the street scenes were impressive.
She's Out of My League (2010): Has a hint of comedy at times but this kind of thing has been done so many times already.
Face (1997): It starts off well and with a cast of Carlyle, Winstone and Davis it should be a winner but it loses impetus through flash back shots and a romantic subplot. Could have done with more of the great Peter Vaughan but he only has a small part.
About Elly (2009): Not a "typical" Iranian offering in my book – it looks to have been made with a mainstream audience in mind – there are too many photogenic characters for my liking. It has an okay screenplay but it is one which lacks a bite.; DVD $29.95
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
Top Gun (1986): Although Cruise is in it – it is a man's picture even though there is a compulsory romantic unnecessary subplot as a fill in between the excellent flying sequences.
Cafe Society (2016): Allen churns out another talkie (Eisenberg is well cast) but the period's set designs and wardrobe are well done.
Puss in Boots (2011): The animation is terrific and so are the characters. A really enjoyable story line with some dance numbers thrown in.
