Body Heat (1981, Lawrence Kasdan)

Film noir in colour? Well, it's all there, the femme fatale, the doltish lead, the desire for money at all costs etc etc.
A lawyer falls for a sultry blonde. She is already hitched etc. Whilst it is no Double Indemnity, it moves along at a decent pace.



Problem Child (1990, Dennis Dugan)

Very silly. A couple who can't have kids decide to adopt. Unfortunately they pick Junior, who has a propensity for chaos. Surprisingly cheeky in places. Really only watched it for Ritter who sadly only gets to look exasperated for most of it ...



Primal


Cage and a jaguar on a boat? Somewhat silly actioner (isn't he getting too old for these?) The CGI is awful, but the villain is a lot of fun so this balances out more or less. Famke Jansen must need the money.



Deadly Prey
(1987, David A Prior)

A hoot, a loving husband is kidnapped putting the bins out, so wifie has to call on daddy's help (Cameron Mitchell). Not enough?? Okay then, mercenaries train using live bait so to speak, but they have picked the wrong guy this time it seems.
Hilariously bad. The lead seemed more suited for some beach romp, the stunts are somewhat threadbare and the dialogue, lawdy. I'd heard a lot about this one over the years and it did not disappoint
