102 Dalmatians (2000)
Nov 24, 2000Dognapping Villainness
Sequel to the live-action 101 Dalmatians remake. This brings back Glenn Close as Cruella DeVil and proves a far more enjoyable film that its predecessor
Ioan Gruffudd
The Gathering (2003)
Aug 5, 2026Archaeological Mystery/Sinister Observers
Made not long after The Da Vinci Code was huge, a similar archaeological mystery centred around an amnesiac Christina Ricci and a sinister buried church dating back to The Crucifixion
King Arthur (2004)
Aug 14, 2004Arthurian Legends
A big-budget version of the Arthurian legends that makes dubious claim about being rooted in historical fact. The fantasy elements are stripped out and what we have is more of an historical spectacle
Fantastic Four (2005)
Jul 8, 2005Comic-Book Superheroes
One of the big hits among the spate of Marvel Comics adaptations in the 2000s. This has a very mixed reputation but brings the comic-book team to life in a reasonable effort
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Jun 25, 2007Comic-Book Superheroes
The 2005 Fantastic Four was an amiable entry among the Marvel Comics adaptations of the 2000s. This sequel substitutes lowbrow comedy and renders the great character of the Silver Surfer as a CGI cartoon

Oct 20, 2009Victorian Children's Fantasy Film
Beautifully filmed Victorian-set fantasy in which orphan Dakota Blue Richards moves to her uncle's estate and discovers the magical secrets it holds
The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box (2014)
Feb 24, 2014Victorian Young Adult Adventure
Yet another adaptation of a series of Young Adult fantasy books that failed to fly. The idea of an Indiana Jones-type adventure set in Victorian England holds promise but the film only sporadically manages to let the adventure fly
San Andreas (2015)
May 31, 2015Disaster Movie/California Hit by Super-Earthquake
As the spectacle of mass destruction goes, you could hardly get more epic in scale than this. On the other hand, as someone whose hometown was obliterated by an earthquake in 2011, I find it offensive that such devastation is arranged for our enjoyment while the suffering and even the idea that anybody has been killed has been edited out
Keep Watching (2017)
Jul 21, 2022Home Invasion/Found Footage
A Found Footage film about a family who finds everything they do is being filmed by hidden cameras before their home is invaded by masked figures
