Reckoning, The (2003): A more than useful cast with an interesting screenplay. It does well in capturing a Middle Ages atmosphere (if there is such a thing) through the lack of lighting, its wardrobe and set designs.
Grimsby (2016): There is a market for this kind of material – otherwise they wouldn't make it. The real interest is why some people with a talent for acting i.e. Strong, McShane and Tomlinson would want to be involved.
Mighty Joe Young (1999): One star for the good intentions of the plot (which unfortunately gets out of control) and another one for the GORILLA effects team. Charlize is her own star – she is radiant.
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005): Not a particularly strong screenplay. It struggles to find an ending and eventually ends up in the crap.
Hairspray (2007): Although the songs and music are mostly forgettable – there is plenty of energy and hardly a static moment.
American Pie (1999): Its funny in a grubby kind of way – the desperation for a laugh is apparent.
Flipper (1996): Flipper is fine but the screenplay and the rest of the cast are ordinary.
Herbie Fully Loaded (2005): Herbie always was a brilliant idea and the Herbie segments in this follow up are still worth the time. The rest is more typical Disney family fodder but Lindsay L is fine as usual.
An American Tail 2: Fievel Goes West (1991): I couldn't understand what the animals were squeaking about but their antics are all go and enjoyable.
Everest (2015): If you know or suspect the outcome the suspense element goes out the window. The film overall doesn't reach great heights.
