Gunman, The (2015): Elba and Winstone have short screen time and Bardem is flat for once. Rylance is good but nothing lifts this above the routine.
Land of the Bears (2014): It is worth watching just for the scenery never mind about the cuddlies.
Blue Velvet (1986): The bookends are gorgeous portraits but in between there is Dennis Hopper. Laura Dern is wonderfully innocent and contrasts with Isabella Rossellini whilst Dean Stockwell gives a memorable cameo. It is not faultless but it has won me over again.
League of Their Own, A (1992): Excellent story & the periodic props & set designs are well done.Geena is well assisted by Lori Petty with Rosie O'Donnell scene stealing & really looking/acting like a baseball player.However the film gets sidetracked too often and is therefore too long; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Life Partners (2014): Normally "Oh My God" comedies make me cringe but not this one. The girls are terrific and so is the script. The dipstick male characters are also well played.
Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013): Doesn't really add anything new to the Supernatural Horror sub–genre.
Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, The (TV Mini-Series) (2015): They've done well to get some good look a likes but her story has been thrashed to death.
Due Date (2010): Modest comedy.
Master, The (1994): The fight scenes are comedic rather than kung fuish – Jet Li is good and has some good sidekicks – enjoyable.
A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas (2011): For the those who are easily pleased.
