Two Moon Junction (1988): It doesn't have much of a screenplay and nothing really happens so it does well to fill in the time.
Krisha (2015): It needs the type of patience that is accorded to a Cassavete's film. The soundtrack has an integral part in the film.
Poor Cow (1967): Some wonderful (time capsule) working class scenes. On Carol's performance rested the film – she toughed it out incl. a few smacks across the chops. Loach went on to do better but many directors would have given their right arm for a start like this.
Earth Girls Are Easy (1988): There is a lot like but overall its uneven – Geena is very good as usual but it was at its best when the three males looked like traffic lights. There is a very good dance sequence.
Divorce Of Lady X (1939): Some good but not many street location shots but the rest is indoors so it relies on the script and performances – these are at their best early before the two leads fall in love with the usual silliness that follows.
Insidious (2010): There were elements of the screenplay that were promising but as with a number of modern horrors centre stage is taken by noisy sound effects to "enhance" the scariness – but proves more of a distraction.; DVD $14.95
Broken Hallelujah (2014): Over ambitious for its length.
National Bird: Drone Wars (2016): Bastards – file under crime.
Go-Getter, The (2007)
Rust and Bone (2012): It has a disability theme but the sentimentality has a raw edge.Matthias plays a male animal & has more screen time (his fight scenes are extremely well produced) but Marion is one of those actors who doesn't need a script to steal a scene.
