American Psycho (2000)
Apr 14, 2000Yuppie Psycho
Mary Harron takes on Bret Easton Ellis’s controversial work about a yuppie serial killer and refines it to a blackly funny satire on 1980s pop culture and corporate greed
Justin Theroux
Mulholland Dr. (2001)
Oct 21, 2001Hollywood Noir/Surrealism
David Lynch work of Hollywood noir in which novice actress Naomi Watts (in the role that made her name) is drawn into a surreal idenity blurring mystery. As always with Lynch, this baffling, weird and mesmerising
Inland Empire (2006)
Aug 17, 2007Surrealism
David Lynch's last theatrical films and probably the most divided of Lynch's films. Another delve into cryptic surrealism that arrives at no clear plot destinations or clues about what is going on
Your Highness (2011)

Oct 22, 2017Animation/Adventures in the Lego Universe
Third of the animated films based on the Lego toy line. This has the same fast-paced humour and witty fourth-wall breaking gags as its predecessors, even if you suspect the Lego Movie brand is starting to fade
BumbleBee (2018)

Duncan Jones has become a director of promise in the last few years. Here he appropriates the Blade Runner look to make a futuristic neo-noir but the result never quite works. The noir plot never sufficiently keys in, while the derivative future setting is of no real relevance to the story
Lady and the Tramp (2019)
Nov 23, 2019Disney Animation in Live-Action/Talking Animals
Another Disney animated film rehashed in live-action. At which the best compliment you can pay this is that it is at least better than the same year's remake of The Lion King was
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
Oct 19, 2024Gonzo Afterlife Comedy
After 36 years and several abortive attempts, Tim Burton, Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder reunite to make a sequel to Beetlejuice, but the essentials that fired up the young Burton now feel as they come by the numbers
