Hologram for the King, A (2016): Takes its time but the pacing is okay for the locale. Hanks wears the same expression for most of the proceedings. The film has some trouble finding a finish – the romance drags it out.
Epic (2013): The human characters were routine but the animal characters were extremely enjoyable and made it worthwhile.
Chronicles of Riddick, The (2004): The special effects although noisy are well done and the wardrobe department does a good job.
Boondock Saints, The (1999): Its a bit gun obsessive but by being so maybe its trying to deliver an anti–gun message. The screenplay has energy but the attempt at offbeat characters misses by half a beat which is sufficient enough for them to become tiresome.
Meatballs (1979): Has not stood up to the test of time very well but has some curiosity value.; DVD $19.95
Strangers with Candy (2005): Whilst the comedy material is weak Amy Sedaris really tries hard with a character that has some originality to it.
Dolan's Cadillac (2009): Whilst Bentley is a bit of a lightweight in this one Slater is very good and makes it worthwhile.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988): The klowns are funny and scary and a great idea.
Shock to the System, A (1990): I don't think I've seen Michael Caine as uncomfortable in a role – he's not bad but he seems to be acting and therefore is not Michael Caine. The screenplay whilst not original is not too bad.; DVD $12.95
Jerusalema (2008): It is good that it highlights the greedy/negligent landlord problem and there are some very good segments and location shots away from the violence. The friction between the characters is however a repeat of what has been filmed many times elsewhere.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $19.95
