The Kid Who Would Be King


Horribly inept movie with primitive dialog and illogical plot turns, which got 86% approval on rottentomatoes because of what? Serkis Jr. as a main character? Patrick Stewart in a colorless supporting role? Usually, only political correctness fare gets this high rate because otherwise critics are accused of racism or misogyny.

Death of Stalin



Primitive romp, yet closely following Khruschev's memoirs. Bold shaven Steve Buscemi is believable as Khrushev despite great disparity in heights but the further the narrative is from the main character, the more it is slides into a bad caricature.
