I Was a Male War Bride - (1949)
I have to resign myself to the fact that not every comedy featuring Cary Grant can be as good as Bringing Up Baby or The Awful Truth - two films that lifted the bar a little too high perhaps. I still enjoyed watching him in this, but while the screenplay made much room for physical comedy, the funny stuff didn't register as strongly with me. Grant plays French Army Captain Henri Rochard - no accent or French mannerisms, just Grant being Grant. He has a contentious relationship with American Lieutenant Catherine Gates (Ann Sheridan) - but that's just the sexual chemistry talking. As soon as they're married, the film spends the rest of it's time preventing them from consummating the nuptials - but I'm sure they'd been doing plenty of that already. I mean, they get married three times due to regulations and a promise Rochard made to his local minister. He doesn't dress up and pretend to be a woman until the very end of the film. This was okay, but average compared to some of the better films Grant was in.

Scary Movie - (2000)
This was somewhat better than I thought it was going to be, delivering a few laughs (along with many groans) - I really liked the Doofy Gilmore (Dave Sheridan) take on Dewey Riley from the Scream franchise. It simply throws a million cream pies, making it inevitable that a few will hit - there aren't as many hits than there are misses, but as I anticipated no hits at all I have to walk away surprised. I don't think I'll watch any of the sequels or related "Movie" films though.

Tangerines - (2013)
During the war in Abkhazia, a civilian looks after two injured soldiers - both from opposing sides in the war, and both intent on killing the other as soon as they're able. A lot of valuable insight into the different perspectives people have during conflict, and how humanity can recover from pure hatred and murderous rage - reviewed here in my watchlist thread. Great movie.
8/10
