Precious, I´m going to disagree with you once again on The Ugly Truth wich, IMO qualifies with 6.5/10 due to a good script and a charming performance by Heigl.

6.5/10
A bit dated but very well made overall. Snodgress is very good. She had everything in oder to have a great career. I wonder what happened to her....
She was always fascinating to watch, though, with her best late career role coming as Brad Pitt and Ricky Schoeder's down-on-her-luck mother in the little seen Across the Tracks (1991).
She died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 58.

The Fog of War (Errol Morris) - 7/10
Very engrossing dash through history. Morris can never quite get anything incredibly revealing from McNamara only implied deflections, but he's a very entertaining case study.
Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A Leuchter Jr. (Errol Morris) - 8.5/10
What I like about Mr. Death more than The Fog of War is that it only spends roughly a third of the film taking us through the lead character's pathology. The rest becomes a sick joke as this nebbish who lives his check-list life becomes infamous, and subject to Morris' subtle equations of technical proficiency to egomania and allusions to Naziism. Not as many delicious parallels as in Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control.

I may be entirely off base, but I think the lack of in-step choreography may be intentional, but it may not. I don't know.
For me, The Wiz is great entertainment even if it isn't a great movie.
Complete unrelated, I thought I would post my latest Netflix film return:
8 1/2 - 4/4
I am not in my Fellini set as yet, this was just in preparation for Nine this year so I could have a frame of reference.
