See How They Run (2022)
Great for 90 minutes of pure escape from real life
A wry comedy brilliantly executed by a large cast, with Rockwell and Ronan leading the way and spot on in their characterizations. The murderer eventually revealed as the one whodunnit cheats the audience of clues that would have allowed them to do their own detective work, but then again that fulfills the departed director's warning that this will be a film that in every way complies with the structure of the very standard and centuries old plots of more than a thousand dramatized mysteries. Don't get me wrong: This is a reason TO SEE the movie, as it hilariously conforms to its well worn plot devices and progression.
The V.I.P.s (1963)
Surprisingly engrossing with actors at their peak
This flick is most often characterized as a big screen soap opera-and that's true. But don't let it dissuade you, as the performances of all major characters are at worst pleasing and in fact superlative. In particular, Richard Burton yet again shines, reminding us of the injustice of his never winning a best actor Oscar-supporting or leading.
