Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965)
With a budget just barely above that of the TV show, this is a big screen, color remake of first Dalek adventure, which doesn't expand the story, while removing most of the elements that made the television show so intriguing. The Doctor is just some scientist from earth, as is his granddaughter Susan. Barbara is now also the doctor's granddaughter and Ian is her suitor. Peter Cushing does give an interesting interpretation of the the Doctor. Hard core fans of the television series may want to view this, everyone else beware.

Geostorm (2017)
Lots of loud bangs in a thoroughly conventional disaster film. The humor helps to glaze over cliches and plot holes.

A Ghost Story (2017)
A slow, depressing meditation on loss and legacy. If you can get through the snail-slow pace of the film (Mara Rooney eats a whole pie on the floor in a static shot without a single cut), it eventually pays off, but it will try your patience. Unless you are into artsy movies, avoid at all costs. Interesting characters would have helped.

Limbo (2010)
Hey! Why are they using the cover for the superior John Sayles film from 1999?

Fong Sai-Yuk (1993)
Once again, see the Hong Kong Version rather than the cut up American version.

The Warrior (2002)
Excellent action/morality tale. Ziyi Zhang shines as always.

Flirting Scholar (1994)
I wouldn't call it his best, but much better than some of his later efforts.

Masterful direction and a great cast combine to form a great story of a hero who doubts his heroics.

Ghostbusters (2016)
Good special effects, story is not bad, great cast. Too bad it wasn't funny.

A wildly uneven script and direction focusing in on bangs and boom do nothing to help. Stephen Amell tries his best with the retconned Casey Jones, but isn't given much to work with. Will Arnett is amusing, as are the turtles, but wow, the plot is on the level of Secret of The Ooze (it even has the "Go Ninja" Vanilla Ice song). This film seems to exist only to sell toys and is nowhere near the dumb fun of the last film.
