Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997): Mike M has developed a successful character(s) – he is one of the few who can deliver smutty lines successfully.
Chappie (2015): The sci–fi is not actually mind boggling but there is violence aplenty – which seems about par for a lot of so called sci–fi films. The comedic elements are okay though.
Bonfire of the Vanities (1990): Great title – everyone tries a bit too hard I believe – Morgan Freeman is fine and Saul Rubinek does okay but Melanie Griffith has done much better.
A History of Violence (2005): The acting all round is great with the perhaps under rated Harris the standout.In hindsight the plot is straightforward but it is delivered in such a way as to maintain the suspense.
Pacifier, The (2004): Familiar plot with the usual token of violence and dangerous driving to inspire the teens.
Into the Storm (2014): The special effects are fine but once you've seen one tornado there is a bit of a sameness to proceedings for those that follow.
What If (2013): Zoe Kazan is very good and holds proceedings together but there is not enough material for the plot to last the distance.
Billy Liar (1963): A comedy/drama with a solid plot and a more than interesting cast. Tom Courtenay delivers yet again but Leonard Rossiter scene steals.Some "nostalgic" location shooting.
Dark Passage (1947): Interesting premise but the film although watchable doesn't really take off. It lifts a little when Agnes Moorehead is on camera but her appearances are infrequent. Some nostalgic street scenes.
Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove (2010): A bit better than its predecessor but I wish the kid didn't shriek so much.
