Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

"The Silent Partner" 1978. Elliot Gould, Christopher plummer, Suzanna York
Tagline: "The Silent Partner" begins with a crime of sheer genius and builds to a climax of sheer terror!"
A very clever, rivetting plot with great performances from Gould and Plummer. Interesting to see Plummer as a scary, psycho killer. Set in downtown Toronto. Not for kids!
5 stars

"The Star Chamber" 1983 Michael Douglas, Hal Holbrook, Yaphett Kotto
from IMDB:
Judge Stephen Hardin finds himself distraught when he's forced to dismiss the charges against an obviously guilty criminal due to a legal technicality. Judge Ben Caufield, sensing Hardin's distress, informs him that a secret organization of judges has been meeting and hiring a hitman to kill other criminals who have similarly gotten off the hook. Caufield invites Hardin to join the organization. Hardin proceeds to wrestle with his conscience, especially when he presides over the trial of two obviously guilty child molesters/murderers...
Nicely filmed and paced.
3 1/2 stars
