Bride and Prejudice (2004): Henderson is dead in the water. The screenplay is fluff but as with a number of Bollywood productions they have the musical numbers down pat and make it all well worthwhile.
Time Machine, The (2002): Pearce is not convincing & he's in every scene. The highlights are the set designs & wardrobe of the Victorian period. However once they leave the Victorian settings the screenplay becomes less interesting & may even go off the rails.
Skyline (2010): I thought Eric Balfour was pretty useless and the screenplay was little different from other alien invasions that we have had – it also owed a debt to King Kong. But thumbs up to the special effects team.
Spring Breakers (2012): The opening scenes are infantile and when Franco enters the story it becomes rubbish thereafter.; DVD $14.95
Roxanne (1987): A minor comedy – no memorable scenes but its watchable.
Hudsucker Proxy, The (1994): The first half hour is very strong – the set designs and wardrobe impressive. The screenplay loses a bit of impetus after that except for segments here and there.
Mother's Day (2016): With all due respect to mothers everywhere I didn't think much of this film – you deserve better.
Grand Hotel (1932): Some of it has dated 80 years on but the whole package is still worth it. Its a good screenplay and its hard to dislike any of it. Some memorably over dramatic acting helps.
Beatles, The: Eight Days a Week (2016): Although the music helps – to produce another documentary about a previously well documented band and to make it interesting is some achievement.
Jerk, The (1980): It doesn't all work but the parts that do aren't too bad.
