The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Rating: ★★★
Oct 31, 2005Disney Animation/Talking Animals
Disney animated film from the fallow period of the 1970s/early 80s. This concerns the friendship between a talking fox and a hound tempered by the knowledge they will grow into enemies. An okay effort if not up the heights of the studio's classics

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Rating: ★★★
May 7, 2003Chinese Supernatural/Martial Arts Fantasy
John Carpenter film that was marketed as a Raiders of the Lost Ark copy but is more Carpenter trying to emulate Hong Kong’s Wu Xia cinema, which was largely unknown in the West at the time. All with highly enjoyable conic results.

Sep 11, 2003Action/Los Angeles as a Future Prison
John Carpenter’s sequel to Escape from New York falls too much in the shadow of its predecessor, nevertheless has some effective moments of its own, with Carpenter in particular creating a satiric fundamentalist future

Dec 19, 2015Horror Western/Wilderness Cannibal Tribe
This is like a Western version of The Hills Have Eyes. Exceptionally written – slow, sombre and character-driven, containing one of Kurt Russell's best performances, before emerging into a brutal horror survival story

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 (2017)
Rating: ★★
May 20, 2017Marvel Comics Adaptation/Space Opera
Guardians of the Galaxy was an audience winner with its eccentric humour and effortless charm; this sequel feels buried under bloated production overkill where the charms of the original remain thinly drawn
