Mister Roberts (1955): For the most part its a good screenplay with some good comedy but it weakens out toward the end. Fonda holds the film together extremely well with William Powell good in a minor role.
Three Wise Cousins (2016): An ineffectual comedy – but it is inoffensive and watchable.; DVD $19.95 | Blu-Ray $24.95
City of Gold (2015): Although Gold looks to be a nice chap it's yet another food documentary. The food that's served up reminds me of the dresses you can't wear in the fashion industry and the bullshit surrounding abstract art.
Hannie Caulder (1971): As with most westerns the baddies add the most interest – in this case Elam, Martin and Borgnine.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012): Tim Burton is involved in the production and his mark shows through at times – some of the set designs are interesting but there is not too much else to distinguish it from other modern vampire horrors.
Grown-Ups (1980): An excellent example of a bitter sweet comedy – a type of film at which Mr. Leigh excels. Brenda Blethyn is unforgettable as she takes all the stops out.
Who's Who (1978): A lovely way to take the piss out of the English class system.
Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure (2000): Adequate only follow up to the classic original but still worth watching.
Time Out of Mind (2014): Its overlong and this reduced the impact of the screenplay which tended to drag as a consequence.
Sacrifice, The (1986): Takes its time. The photography – particularly the long shots – on the exterior scenes is memorable. The screenplay is unusual & needs patience. The house fire scene is impressive. The bonus is a "Making Of" & also about the Director just before he died
