Contagion (2011)
Sep 9, 2011Plague Outbreak
Steven Soderbergh turns to making a plague outbreak film that uncannily predicted a great deal of what happened when Covid-19 struck. A reasonable star cast line-up suborn themselves to a cool sober script

RoboCop (2014)
Feb 14, 2014Cyborg Cop
I have to admit despite all the bad feeling for this, I liked it. While what went on in terms of the man inside the machine was cut and dried in the original, this has been shifted to give us a "the soul of Robocop" story . Moreover, the original's biting satire of 1980s corporations and politics has been smartly updated to tackle some big 2010s issues
I Kill Giants (2017)
Apr 1, 2018Girl Believes in Giants
The title leads you to expect a variation on Jack the Giant Slayer but instead we get a very good story about a troubled girl who believes in giants. Very similar to A Monster Calls, this is carried by a fantastic performance from 15 year old Madison Wolfe
