Nestled amidst the distracting blockbusters, we find this vernal gem of a show, greeting us with a friendly title and an involving story that is enjoyably awkward.

Doris’ (Sally Field) days are mundane to say the least. However, with regard to her expertise in data entry and hoarding, the boredom is supplemented with a unique style. She wears colorful outfits, several pairs of retro-framed glasses (some at the same time) and flaunts an innocent wit. It’s this benign persona that creates a theatrical fan base and garners the eye of her new, younger boss, John (Max Greenfield). This has a two-pronged effect as she gains individual confidence but sees candy hearts every time he speaks to her, lending to the film’s central narrative.

The supporting cast strengthens the film altogether. Roz (Tyne Daly), Doris’ best friend, comically nay-says everything and Roz’ grand daughter, Vivian (Isabella Acres), provides Doris with social media and teenage finesse. And the film also boasts some of the funniest stereotypical Brooklynite ribbing.

This is a great story about relationships and sorting your way through life, frontwards and backwards. We enter 4.1 napkins out of 5 for Doris into the Film Clas spreadsheet.

Is Eye in the Sky white knuckle with some chuckle? That is, as the red tape widens and the plot thickens, does humor subtly infiltrate to redirect the tone of the film? Let’s delve.

There is no doubting the nature of the picture; drone surveillance, anti-terrorism and warfare. Serious stuff. However, an element of satire arises as the film progresses. Now, by no means does Charlie Sheen appear and say, “Are too times ten”, but there are certainly moments where you wonder if Hood is using reality or parody to tell the story.

Case in point, the British Foreign Secretary, speaking at a Singapore conference with the acronym I.B.S., succumbs to sudden intestinal issues. And, as the decision to strike is bounced back and forth within the chains of command, the U.S. Secretary of State is contacted during a pig-pong match in China. These are slight comic interludes but certainly enough to modify the tenor of the picture.

Eye in the Sky is an intelligent film with insight and solid acting. We respectfully say goodbye to the great Alan Rickman with 3.94 napkins out of 5 and two rolls of parchment.

It is too bad Two-Face did not make an appearance in Batman v Superman because the film is divided into distinctly opposite halves.

First, the story is smartly introduced through flashbacks and well manicured “set-ups” to turn the public, including Batman, against Superman. We gain legitimate insight into their polar opposite alter-egos and I thought Kent (Cavill) and Wayne (Affleck) were sound. Then, in a flash, our dueling superheroes go from adversaries to amigos and the barely watchable concluding hour begins and seemingly never ends.

Jeremy Irons’ no-nonsense Alfred was the clear highlight of the film. Amy Adams’ red-haired Lois Lane was curious, forthright and smart as well.

I missed the wit and slight humor of Batman. It was a very serious film and so much of the “entertainment” is in the overwhelming and headache-inducing effects. Jesse Eisenberg is victimized by typecasting as his Luthor spews anxious and over-intelligent drivel to the point I thought he was going to yell, “I created the Facebook!”

Holy underachieved potential, Batman!! This film can only signal 2.2 napkins out of 5 as Frank Costanza’s lawyer is still the most interesting man in a cape.
