Borderline - Peculiar thriller comedy in which L.A. police officer Trevor tries to collect proof contrary to cunning drug smuggler Burr when mixing with hard gentleman MacMurray in Mexico.

Burr makes a articulate scoundrel.The cast includes Fred MacMurray, Claire Trevor, Raymond Burr, Jose Torvay, Morris Ankrum, and Roy Roberts. (88 minutes, 1950)
Mrs. Dalloway - Redgrave is radiant as the wife of a British M.P., who on the night of a gathering, thinks back to her youth when she selected between a safe, secure life and a more challenging presence with a gentleman who genuinely loved her. McElhone is a phenomenal equal for Redgrave in the flashback scenes.

The Ploughman's Lunch - Difficult, cynical condemnation of British behaviors, ethics and affairs of state, focusing on the exercises of absolutely self-centered journalist (Pryce) and others throughout the Falklands battle.

The Leading Man - British backstage show romance in regards to an American film megastar who seduces a playwright's lonely spouse and his leading-woman mistress. When it might not make up its mind whether it's a comedy tirade or a light thriller, it's still exceedingly humorous stuff. Bon Jovi is excellent as the foolhardy, unscrupulous Yankee, and Galiena and Newton are fetching as the females snared in his web. Cast includes Jon Bon Jovi, Anna Galiena, Lambert Wilson, Thandie Newton, Barry Humphries, and David Warner. (100 minutes, 1997)

Rent-a-Kid - While the head of an orphanage takes a holiday, father Nielsen takes over with a idea to produce money by renting out kids. While predictable, this silly premise is unpredictably successful. Sooner or later 3 children are rented by a hip '90s couple considering adopting. A respectable family film. Cast includes Leslie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, Matt McCoy, Sherry Miller, and Amos Crawley. (89 minutes, 1995)
Onionhead - A messy film with Griffith joining the Coast Guard in pre WW2 and becoming a ships chef. The flick tries to be a comedy, a romance, and a drama at the same time and succeeds at none.
