Shrink (2009): You wouldn't expect films about psychiatrists to be interesting but at least Spacey makes this watchable.
Tangled (2010): The animation is not spectacular but does its job in the telling of this at times amusing tale.
Kids World (1999): It has a serious touch in regards to epilepsy but otherwise it is an enjoyable fantasy. I will watch Christopher Lloyd anytime.
St. Vincent (2014): Verges on soppiness but doesn't quite get there. The characters are interesting & the performances are good enough not to be upstaged by a well cast Murray. McCarthy a surprise but its the kid's performance that could have ruined the film but doesn't.
Mighty, The (Freak the Mighty) (1997): It doesn't quite avoid sentimentality but its mostly forgiven because of the performances. The kids are good but there is a very competent adult cast in Anderson, Stone, Gandolfini,Stanton, Loaf et al.Terrific soundtrack.
Death to Smoochy (2002): I really don't know what the talented Catherine Keener is doing in this.
Happy Gilmore (1996): Its unnecessarily crude in parts which hinders one's appreciation of the passable comedy segments that follow.
Talk of Angels (1999): Good production values but the story telling is stodgy and is not helped by the romantic bits.
3:10 To Yuma (2007): Crowe is convincing in this one. In between the mayhem there are quite a number of pontification segments but in the end the body count gets out of hand and is just plain silly.
5 Days Of War (2011): Journalists caught in the crossfire has been dramatised much better in earlier conflicts – has usual murdering of civilians included to shock audience.
