Dough (2015): An above average cast – the screenplay has some good early moments but falls away.
Southpaw (2015): The boxing action is well handled and the make up department do a great job. Soft ending.
Easy A (2010): You feel like asking talents Clarkson and Tucci what they saw in this film to take it on. Their reply would have inspired the title.
Kiss of Death, The (1977): I have always rated Chris Walken's smile as the most chilling on film but Threlfall's laugh is disturbing. A "Kiss of Death" Part 2 would have been interesting to see what road is character took. Kay Adshead is also terrific.
Nuts in May (1976): Whilst maybe not empathising you can still relate to the two leads and the situations they find themselves in – and that's the key to this comedy gem. The two lead performances are perfect.
Mouse Hunt (1998): If its honouring Greenaway, Burton and Gilliam it has succeeded. Very good special effects add to the mayhem.
Prince and the Pauper (1937): A very good adaptation of this fine story – Claude Rains is well cast as the villain.
Personal Best (1982): It couldn't make up its mind what kind of a film it wanted to be. The athletic action is good . Introduces an unnecessary character in a water polo player – two of his scenes are infantile – & it delays the athletic action which has a soppy ending.
Murder She Said (1961): Some British Rail nostalgia. The plot is very good and the performance highlights are the "interaction" between Margaret R and James R–J.
Jim: The James Foley Story (2016): Some interesting bits but it drags mostly – not many surprises.
