Poltergeist (1982): It looks like a lot of hard work went into the impressive special effects.Despite the horror (very effective) the film doesn't take itself too seriously and is all the better for it.It may be a shade too long however.
Sundowners, The (1960): I don't recall Mitchum looking so relaxed in a film. Deborah Kerr is excellent and Ustinov is Ustinov. Very enjoyable.
Trials of Muhammad Ali, The (2013): Whilst some of the footage has been seen before its good to have it all in compilation form.
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015): The story and the characters are one dimensional and failed to hold one's attention. Not a patch on Charlotte Gainsbourg's performance in "Nymphomaniac".Based on the film I would not be interested in reading the book. Only highlight is the soundtrack.
15 Minutes (2001): A mix of violence and comedy that works reasonably well. De Niro is fine but has to share centre stage with the Czech "nutter" Karel Roden & the Russian "nutter" Oleg Taktarov.
Frantic (1988): Ford's performance is poor (he's out of his depth) and as he is in just about every scene he drags the film down.
Cowboys, The (1972): Silly story with Bruce Dern the only highlight – Matt Clarke one of the better character actors hardly appears.
Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014): From the first rate Pixar team – not one of their strongest but very worth while.
National Treasure (2004): Nothing wrong with the plot idea but the film really didn't hold the attention for any length of time – maybe its because I'm not a Cage fan.
Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009): Good natured and harmless – the music is bland but there is a real highlight in the dance sequences shown during the end credits.
