SuperBob (2015): A non–event comedy wise for me on a first viewing but be warned it has some good reviews elsewhere and should be checked out.; DVD $34.95
Freeheld (2015): These based on true events personal dramas are usually wishy washy but this one has a good screenplay and a more than talented leading cast in Moore,Page and Shannon that makes all the difference.
Jack and Sarah (1996): Very uneven – I have never seen Grant so poor and its on him that the film rests despite a stellar support cast in Atkins, Dench, and McKellen.rnThe screenplay is very frothy so it doesn't need this talent anyway I guess.
Matchmaker, The (1958): A light but entertaining plot. Paul Ford as usual steals each scene he's in.
Casino Jack (2010): The story makes it hard to distinguish who are the criminals and who are just doing their job – lobbyists, financiers and politicians – or whether in fact there is any difference at all in some cases. Spacey makes an unattractive character very watchable.; Blu-Ray $24.95
Mojave (2016): Hard to follow the plot – I read the synopsis later but it didn't really help to clarify too much what I had just seen.
Willard (2002): Very stylised – well done to the set designers and the choice of colours by the photography department. Glover and Ermey are good and whilst this is a remake the story in itself has enough originality to maintain interest.
Astro Boy (2009): Very clear animation – a good script and entertaining characters.
Seminole (1953): A watchable western with a well intentioned screenplay but the ending is weak. Rock looks out of place and seems to be wearing false teeth.
House of Wax (2005): One good scene – the animal cesspit and one good character – the animal cesspit worker. The rest of the characters can be found in umpteen other teen horror films but the basic story still stands up well.
