Allegiant (2016)

Rating: ★★

Mar 26, 2016Young Adult Dystopian Future

The Divergent series is a fundamentally implausible scenario for people that think horoscopes are a profound insight into human nature. This is the most interesting of the films and gives us an imaginative future world

Director: Robert Schwentke

Actors: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Jeff Daniels, Miles Teller, …

It (2017)

Rating: ★★

Nov 4, 2017Stephen King Adaptation/Killer Clown Monster

I far preferred the 1990 mini-series to the cinematic remake of the Stephen King book. This emerges as a lesser copy of tv's Stranger Things, which did the whole 80s nostalgia/horror story far better

Director: Andy Muschietti

Actors: Jaeden Martell, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, …

Deadpool 2 (2018)

Rating: ★★★★

Nov 10, 2018Marvel Comics Superhero

Deadpool was an hilarious breath of fresh air amid the Marvel Comics adaptations. This sequel is even better, with the self-deflating, fourth-wall breaking humour even funnier and more slickly polished action

Director: David Leitch

Actors: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Julian Dennison, Morena Baccarin, …

It: Chapter Two (2019)

Rating: ★★

Nov 30, 2019Stephen King Adaptation/Killer Clown Monster

I had mixed feelings about the first part Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's novel. The second part here is a better film, although it too eventually gets buried in over an hour's worth of Muschietti's jumpshocks

Director: Andy Muschietti

Actors: James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, James Ransone, …

Villains (2019)

Rating: ★★★

Mar 1, 2021Criminals on the Run Imprisoned by Psychos Comedy

Barbarian (2022)

Rating: ★★★

Nov 4, 2022Sinister AirBNB

Boy Kills World (2023)

Rating: ★★★★

Jul 27, 2024Gonzo Ultra-Violence/Action Film Parody

A film where you are struggling to find any easy labelling. What it is is an hilariously ultra-violent and over-the-top parody of an action movie that will have your sides splitting

Director: Moritz Mohr

Actors: Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Sharlto Copley, …

The Crow (2024)

Rating: ★

Sep 21, 2024Resurrected Avenger

The original The Crow is a cult classic. This long-planned remake from the perpetually terrible Rupert Sanders was an ill-advised move from every angle that gets just about everything from the mood to the conception of its character wrong

Director: Rupert Sanders

Actors: Bill Skarsgård, FKA Twigs, Danny Huston, Laura Birn, …
