Minority Report - 7/10. An interesting plot, but some annoying characters.

Fun & Fancy Free (1947) - 7.5/10. Fun cartoon film from the Walt Disney company. I like that it features one of my favourite TV stars, Dinah Shore. I also like that it is shot in Technicolor. They should bring back Technicolor if you ask me.

Paradise hawaiian style (1966). 2/10 Must be one of the worst Elvis presley movies. Uninteresting plot, dull songs, boring characters. Several pretty girls, but none have much to do, and the blonde one in particular has all the acting ability of a tree - wooden in fact. and to add insult to injuryx a tiresome little girl keeps appearing, even sings at one point. It's all pretty ghastly.

Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914, 83 minutes) - 7.5/10. One of the first feature-length comedy films, starring Charlie Chaplin, Marie Dressler, and Mabel Normand. Perhaps too long for its simple plot, but has some laughs and is enjoyable. I also found it interesting on an historical level, seeing the buildings, cars, fashions etc of 1914.

X2: X-Men United (2003)
10/10. A good comic book movie with a compelling plot and a show stealing turn from Hugh Jackman.

About Time (2013). 6/10. A rather sentimental story about a young man who has an hereditary ability to travel in time, all the men in his family can do it. he can go back and do things differently to alter his future. Enlivened by the presence of Bill Nighy as the hero's father.

I gather elvis thought Clambake ws his worst film, but I thought it was a lot better than this one. |

The Devil wears Prada. 6/10. Fairly amusing comedy, Meryl streep very good as bitchy magazine editor.

Fant4stic (2015).
1/10. Possibly one of the worst films I've seen in a while. Thinly written by-the-numbers plot, poor pacing, and just plain boring when it thinks it's trying to be exciting.

Roustabout (1964) - 7.5/10.
An Elvis Presley flick. He's pretty much a genre all to himself.
I enjoyed it. It's not great drama, but it's entertaining.
I thought the colour film stock used was beautiful. It's a shame that within a few years film stock began getting increasingly ugly.

Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest I am currently re-watching the entire 'Children of the Corn' series and I think Children of the Corn 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 were the best but the others have been very disappointing.

How Awful About Allan (1970, USA, 74 minutes) - 7.5/10. Enjoyable made-for-TV thriller. Reasonably tense even though I remembered the ending from the last time I viewed it.
This week I am having a "vintage made-for-TV movies" week. Don't laugh, some of the old ones weren't bad at all.

Double Solitaire (1974, USA, 73 minutes) - 8/10. Downbeat videotaped stage play about a failing marriage. This aired on PBS, in an era where PBS still had a big enough budget to produce stuff like this.

Not idea if it counts as a "film", but I watched a 52-minute comedy TV-movie called Happy Anniversary and Goodbye (1974), starring Lucille Ball, Art Carney, Nanette Fabray, Peter Marshall, and Don Porter....plus Arnold Schwarzenegger in a small role. It's lightweight, and kept me amused. It was "adult" by Lucille Ball standards, with sexual references and such.

My Friend Dahmer: about the high school life of the serial killer- where his inclusion in a group of class clowns does nothing to prevent his downward spiral. A 7/10 for a fairly unsurprising cautionary tale, with former Disney star Ross Lynch in the lead role
