Generation Iron (2013): Main interest is in the unfamiliarity to most of us of this other sport.They seem nice enough guys – thank god.
Track of the Cat (1954): Does not hold the attention but does not follow any formula which is a plus. Some good location shooting when you are allowed out of the house.
Hercules (2014): The special effects were okay as was the casting of a terrific British supporting cast.
Escape from Alcatraz (1979): Well cast – the scenario as depicted seemed believable.
Under the Cherry Moon (1986): Bit of an oddball. It leaves no impression – maybe someone else directing the star would have helped.
Staircase, The (TV Mini-series) (Soupcons) (2004): Have to admire the tenacity of director and the editor who cut it down from a million minutes.A marathon watch but at the end I didn't really care whether he was guilty or not.Bonus documentary "Death on the Staircase" sums it up very well in 40 mins.
Racing with the Moon (1984): A young Penn and Cage before they develop being annoying into an art form.Not much to the story.
Therese and Isabelle (1968): Slowly paced and told mainly in flashback – some good moments but will appeal more to the romantic.
GI Jane (1997): Just gets silly and boring.Anne Bancroft is fine though.
Thirteen Days (2001): Another Costner film which is shot in real time. As a dramatisation its okay but a documentary treatment would have been preferable.
