Chimes at Midnight - Orson Welles (1966)

Welles quiets the self-concious style of Kane and turns volume up on the human. Battle rages L & R around a belly.

Nancy Drew, Detective - William Clemens (1938)

What starts as a woman-power pic ends with crying on dad's shoulder. Perception does not always translate to action. Bonita Granville drives like a maniac and cross-dresses her best friend Ted (again).

Quantum of Solace - Marc Forster (2008)

A distinctly anti-viewer film. No humor, sympathy, relationships. Action sequences that leave audiences without footholds.
