Roadflower (1993)

Josh Brolin
Mimic (1997)
Jun 15, 1999Evolved Insects
This was the second film from Guillermo Del Toro, a modest and quite good Alien copy with Mira Sorvino hunting evolved insects in the New York subway tunnels
Nightwatch (1998)
Jan 19, 2001Morgue Attendant's Paranoia/Serial Killer
Ole Bornedal conducts an English-language remake of his Danish thriller Nattevagten. Rich in black comedy and dark twists, Bornedal demonstrates a mastery of Hitchcockian suspense
Hollow Man (2000)
Aug 6, 2000Invisible Maniac
Paul Verhoeven uses CGI effects to revamp the invisible man film with amazing results. On the other hand, Verhoeven’s penchant for sex and violence overkill quickly emerges with distasteful results
The Dead Girl (2006)
Dec 2, 2007The Women Affected By a Serial Killer
Karen Moncrieff directs a strong and powerful drama that tells five stories of the women whose lives are affected by a serial killer. The film has an amazing ensemble cast who deliver sterling performances
Planet Terror (2007)
Nov 22, 2008Zombie Film
Robert Rodriguez's half of the Grindhouse double-bill where Rodriguez makes an hilariously tongue-in-cheek zombie film with great absurd comic energy and packed with witty cameos from various stars
Jonah Hex (2010)
Jun 19, 2010Western Comic-Book Adaptation/Supernatural Bounty Hunter
This adaptation of the DC comic-book about a supernatural avenging Western gunslinger fails to burn with the grim mood it should have
Men in Black 3 (2012)
May 24, 2012Alien Coverup Conspiracy Agency
One hardly greets the attempt to generate another entry out of this franchise with any enthusiasm. This mostly consists of tired and familiar gags, where maybe the most generous compliment you can pay is that it is better than Men in Black II was
Oldboy (2013)
Nov 29, 2013Imprisonment and Revenge
Spike Lee's English-language remake of the ultra-violent Korean revenge film is an abortion. Park Chan-Wook directed the original with an insane energy, whereas Lee only delivers a formula action film. While the script is surprisingly faithful to the original, it signposts everything in a way that blows the big twist ending
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)
Aug 23, 2014Graphic Novel Adaptation/Ultra-Violent Film Noir Tales
Robert Rodriguez makes his return to Frank Miller's classic film noir-styled graphic novels. You keep expecting this to hit in with the astonishing freshness the first film did. Rodriguez and Miller give us more of the same amazing visuals but there is the feeling it is no longer original and new
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Nov 3, 2018Marvel Comics Superhero Team-Up
Marvel’s third Avengers film, uniting almost every superhero under their roof, resulting in some thirty characters on screen and a plot that becomes a blur of changing locations and superheroic punch-ups
Deadpool 2 (2018)
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
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Aug 10, 2019Marvel Comics Superhero Team-Up
Marvel conclude the cliffhanger they left Avengers: Infinity War on and offer up a bigger-than-big line-up, overspilling with just about every MCU character to ever appear on screen up to that point
Dune Part One (2021)
Oct 30, 2021Desert World/Intergalactic Politics/Precognitive Messiah
Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic SF novel comes with a determination to give the story and its richly detailed world faithful life on screen. Villeneuve adapts freely in many areas but gets the complexity of the saga
Dune Part Two (2024)
Apr 20, 2024Desert World/Intergalactic Politics/Precognitive Messiah
The second part of Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic SF novel Dune, this delves more deeply into the world of the Fremen, although starts to diverge more from the book
Weapons (2025)
Sep 20, 2025Mysterious Disappearance
Captivating and original film from Zach Cregger, director of Barbarian, about a town that is affected by the mysterious disappearance of a class of children. One of the few recent box-office success based on an original script where you definitely can’t predict where things are going
The Running Man (2025)
Dec 20, 2025Future Televised Human Hunting
Edgar Wright conducts a remake of The Running Man and takes this much more back to the original Stephen King book than the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film, while adding a level of biting modern commentary
