MeruMeru (2015)
2 stars (Good Try) The documentary includes sad stories of loss but on the positive side the scenery makes for enhanced viewing. A must watch if you are thinking of climbing Meru.
Peep WorldPeep World (2010)
2 stars (Good Try) It offers very little to comment on.
DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
Dark Horse, TheDark Horse, The (2014)Aro Favourite
2 stars (Good Try) Although its a well meaning screenplay it doesn't include much new material – mental illness; gangs; kids coming good; a national championship etc have all been done before. If it was half an hour less that would have helped.
DVD $20 $15, $19.95
Terry Pratchett's Going PostalTerry Pratchett's Going Postal (2010)
4 stars (Very Good) Pratchett's stories are imaginative and full of interesting characters but his alternative universe cannot be that easy to bring to screen – this one however succeeds. The set designs are top drawer and the casting of David Suchet a masterstroke.
SpotlightSpotlight (2015)Recommended
2 stars (Good Try) As a drama it has lost much of its impact because molestations are routine news today. A documentary on the other hand would have had value as an historical document without the dramatisation.
Finest Hours, TheFinest Hours, The (2016)
2 stars (Good Try) The special effects were fine but unlike the waves the story telling was a bit flat.
Steve JobsSteve Jobs (2015)Recommended
2 stars (Good Try) Fassbender does well to put some interest in his character. His character is a wardrobe departments dream. The yelling and bickering with his co–workers (the ones with the dog tags) gets a bit tiresome though. The final scene is pure crap.
Madame BovaryMadame Bovary (2014)
2 stars (Good Try) Mia is fine in this not too interesting story of lust. Poor Mia gets pawed to death in every second scene. The costumes and props look authentic.
Confessions of a Dangerous MindConfessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)
2 stars (Good Try) Bad start in that the voice over is unclear because of posturing by Rockwell's character.The highlight of the plot are the segments on the crappy TV shows – the rest of the story fails to generate any interest in it or the characters.
Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James BrownMr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown (2014)
3 stars (Good Enough) I'm not a James Brown fan (unless he's singing solo without the noise of the other performers) but this is another successful doco. from the director. Plenty of archival film on performances, activism plus interviewees on his performances & private life
