The Guardian (2006)
Moving and bittersweet
I think most people who are reviewing this as low are being unfair. This is a good movie with likeable characters. Kevin Costner as a troubled father figure who is fighting demons but still holding onto his ethos. After many reasons to quit, he bits his lip to train the new generation and passes that baton to the new recruits ending in an ironic way and letting his trainee 'let go' so he himself can let go. The background cast are also good with their own redemption arc and fighting their own unique battles. Also, a great soundtrack from Bryan Adams. Definitely worth a watch once a year, wish more films were like this.
Keith Meets Keith (2009)
Mean, intrusive.
Keith Floyd didn't deserve to be treated poorly and made to be seen as this documentary was making him out to be. In the catering world he was and still is a bastion and inspiration for many chefs and home cooks. Nobody has matched his unique flair and process, incredible skill with such a personality and calmness when all around seems like its falling apart (like his episode when the boat sets on fire) Keith Allen comes across as fuelling this disaster of a documentary which could have been the reason Floyd died. This isn't journalism, its taking advantage of a sick mam who had brought joy to so many.
Bicentennial Man (1999)
Heartwarming, classic.
This is a film with perfect casting, an original story and is always enjoyable. Clever witty and entertaining.
