Pacific Heights (1991): Too much hysteria in the acting department for my liking. The only highlights are the San Francisco locations and the house exteriors.
DUFF, The (2015): "Dogfight" (1991) covered similar territory and did it much better but Mae Whitman is very watchable. The film is a little too long but she does carry it very well. The plot also takes the mickey out of social media in a light hearted way.
Lazarus Effect, The (2015): I don't think the plot was over complicated (and was even familiar) but I couldn't follow it at times.
Pocket Money (1972): Considering the interesting cast it comes across a bit flat.
Last Airbender, The (2010): Ringer not convincing in the title role. The special effects were okay but in comparison to the many other special effects films do not standout.The highlights were the Greenland locations.
Bachelor, The (1999): There are some old hands in the support cast (Ustinov for example) that add interest but this plot goes off the rails and gets sillier and sillier.
Boys Town (1938): Crappy story and Rooney is awful.
All This Mayhem (2014): Some interesting skateboarding segments but overall the story is not that uncommon.
Hope Springs (2002): The romantic side is possibly okay but anyone looking for quality comedy will be disappointed. Having said that its a pretty good female cast.
Wait Until Dark (1967): Well cast and the performances are fine but its stage origins show and it needed to be a bit shorter to maintain the suspense a bit better.
