Bisangsuneon (Emergency Declaration) (2022) Finely crafted and tensely structured, a terrorist boards plane impregnated with virus that quickly contaminates. Deft surprises keep authorities guessing on ground and claustrophobic decisions in air, ae well as thrills visually tight, even if resolution snaps narrative effect.
Somewhere In Time (1980) Rising playwright Christopher Reeve fulfills his destiny and wills himself into the past to romance celebrated actress Jane Seymour despite controlling Christopher Plummer. Attractively mounted and cast, a sincere and finally affecting love story with everlasting John Barry score.
Sleep, My Love (1948) Controlled storytelling with atmospheric set pieces and sufficient twists despite unsurprising resolution, as inquisitive Robert Cummings discovers insecure Claudette Colbert is being sent mad by suave but cruel Don Ameche. Solid production and performances.
Sitting Pretty (1948) Generous and breezy domestic comedy with despairing Maureen O'Hara and Robert Young mistakenly hiring imperious Clifton Webb as live-in babysitter to three unruly sons. Light on plot until revelations of newcomer's intentions to reveal small town secrets, a series of solid comic situations.
The Long Haul (1957) Making solid use of gritty, low-budget locations, tight staging elevates crude characterization with broken Victor Mature dragged into crooked truck operations in post-war Britain. Disillusioned Diana Dors provides acute emotions all the way to satisfyingly bleak conclusion.
Canyon Passage (1946) Beneath the burnished Technicolor surface, a vivid portrayal of Oregon pioneer life, brute violence and greed colliding with community dreams on expressive locations. Restless Dana Andrews, bold Susan Hayward and strong support cast feed personal desires amid dynamic set pieces.
The Lost City (2022) Adventure comedy throwback throws disillusioned romantic novelist Sandra Bullock and uncomplicated model Channing Tatum into quest for ancient relic, dodging billionaire Daniel Radcliff's bullets on volcano threatened island. Anonymously enjoyable, misses genuine spirit.
