I'm Not Harry JensonI'm Not Harry Jenson (2009)
4 stars (Very Good) Some of the characterisations were a little ham–fisted, but all up the movie works. I liked the resolution, it made sense.
Quiz ShowQuiz Show (1994)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Really good period piece.
Decline of Western Civilization 2: The Metal YearsDecline of Western Civilization 2: The Metal Years (1988)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Great interviews. After watching it I kind of want a 90s hair metal revival. Who wants to help make that happen?

4 stars (Very Good) Stunning cinematography, good pacing, I found the plot a bit... plain. Worth watching.
Hudsucker Proxy, TheHudsucker Proxy, The (1994)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) Witty & warm. I re–rented because I watched it in the 90s & loved it; still just as good as I remember.
Blerta - The Return Trip...Blerta - The Return Trip... (Blerta Revisited) (2001)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Oddly endearing. I can see the roots of some contemporary kiwi comedy acts. Music was ace, after watching I wanted to go find Beaver's back catalogue.
DVD $40
Broadway IdiotBroadway Idiot (2013)
2 stars (Good Try) The music sounded great, but the camera just followed around a bunch of thespians talking & rehearsing. Nice but boring.
I'm Still HereI'm Still Here (2010)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) Method acting at its most mind–boggling. Prompted a folder full of voluble blog drafts about authenticity.
