Dark Victory (1939): Straight forward plot that is watchable because of the performances of Bette and George Brent.
Sorcerer's Apprentice, The (2010): Uneven but there are some good bits especially the mop scene – a number of the special effects and plot ideas have been seen before but its well worth watching when Alfred Molina is on camera.
Dying of the Light (2014): It would pay to be a Cage fan as he "seems" to be in every minute of every scene.
Guest, The (2014): There's a fine line with black comedy.Reasonable first half but it gradually got sillier.
Last Days of Disco (1998): Another talkie like "Barcelona" – that wouldn't be so bad if the characters were a tad interesting.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007): If you are happy to watch special effects all day then this film will please – if you are looking for a bit more then look elsewhere.
Duke of Burgundy, The (2014): Serene at times – beautiful photography – excellent production values.; DVD ~~$25~~ $18.75
Gambler, The (2014): The plot idea of gambling addiction v unsympathetic loan shark plus the romantic sub plot of student and professor is old hat. Wahlberg however is believable, Jessica Lange has a great cameo and there is one great scene with the impressive John Goodman.
Hoot (2006): A familiar plot but the film is sincere and has been made for the right reasons.
Annie (2014): Not a very tuneful musical. The only real highlights are when the kids are left alone to do their dance numbers otherwise it does drag.
