Beetlejuice (1988)
Rating: ★★★½
Jul 3, 2000Gonzo Afterlife Comedy
This was where the world took notice of Tim Burton in his second film. This throws the standard ghost story on its head with the dead trying to exorcise the living. The show is dominated by Burton's wild set-pieces and Michael Keaton's OTT title performance

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)
Rating: ★★★★
Jul 15, 2001Anime/Alien Soul Devourers
Despite being made by the same company, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Final Fantasy videogame. It is a visually stunning work of anime that takes place on an epic scale set after Earth has been invaded by spirit beings

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
Rating: ★★
Apr 1, 2003Lunar Comedy-Thriller
Huge flop comedy for Eddie Murphy in which he plays a nightclub owner on The Moon. There is an almost good SF film hiding inside and depiction of a surprisingly detailed Lunar culture but the unnfunny comedy elements kill it

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)
Rating: ★★★
Sep 27, 2017TV Series Spinoff/Gonzo Animation
Spongebob Squarepants was a sleeper hit on the Nickelodeon Channel that crossed over to find an adult following; this is the first of the film spinoffs. The film comes with a zanily surreal sense of humour that ran through the series that is frequently downright hilarious

To Rome with Love (2012)

To Rome with Love (2012)
Rating: ★★★
Jul 15, 2012Quartet of Rome-Set Comedy Tales
Another film amid Woody Allen's European renaissance, four tales all set around the gorgeously shot location of Rome. The stories are on the slight side and it is lesser Allen but there is great casting and moments where Allen is on good form

Rise of the Guardians (2012)

Rise of the Guardians (2012)
Rating: ★★
Dec 12, 2012Animation/Team-Up Between Imaginary Characters
The concept – sort of akin to but with various imaginary beings (Santa, Jack Frost, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy etc) teaming up in an adventure – has a mild amusement to it but the film itself feels like an utterly processed piece of modern animated children's movie formula

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)
Rating: ★★★
Aug 1, 2015Spy/Action Film
The Mission: Impossible films have become superbly polished vehicles with exotic locales, death-defying stuntwork and spectacular action sequences. This enacts it all well; the main problem is that Ghost Protocol is such a tough act to follow that this cannot help but fall in its shadow

The Boss Baby (2017)
Rating: ★★
Jun 11, 2017Animation/Ruthless Corporate Executive Baby
This has one of the most original nemeses created for an animated film - a baby in business suit and briefcase and with the demeanour of a ruthless corporate CEO – only for the film to then go and soften the character

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
Rating: ★★★
Dec 29, 2018Spy/Action Film
The sixth of the Mission: Impossible films. Not the best of the series but Tom Cruise and associates have everything polished to an expertly honed formula by now and the film is a kinetic ride of intensive and often jaw-dropping action sequences
