Heart and Souls (1993)
Nov 3, 1999Disembodied Souls Comedy
Likeable light fantasy comedy where Robert Downey Jr is possessed by four disembodies souls and sets out to help them achieve their purpose. Filled with some great performances.
Phenomenon (1996)
Apr 12, 2003Man Gains Expanded Mental Powers
Positive upbeat film in which John Travolta gains a supermind after seeing a light in the sky. For all its featuring a man with superior intellectual abilities, this is ironically a film that deals in simplistic black-and-whites
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003)
Oct 27, 2017Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
One of the better films spun off from the 1990s animated Batman tv series, introducing the character of Batwoman (although a different one to the comic-book incarnation).
Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)
Jul 5, 2009Animation/Comic-Book Superheroes
Animated Justice League film, which adapts a comic-book storyline that reconceived the various DC superheroes as they were back in the era of their original creation
Gamer (2009)
Jan 30, 2010Future Live-Action Videogames
Film somewhere between Counterstrike and The Running Man where convicts are controlled as avatars inside a live-action videogame. A difficult to believe premise that is pumped up with hyper-adrenalised action visuals
The Possession (2012)
Aug 31, 2012Occult Box/Possession
Based on the urban legend surrounding a dybbuk box that turned up on an EBay auction, although the film throws this out to conduct an utterly generic possession story. Despite the novelty of drawing on Judaic mythology, the film still trades in the same tired cliches as the Christian exorcism film
Villains (2019)
Mar 1, 2021Criminals on the Run Imprisoned by Psychos Comedy
A film with a wonderfully eccentric and offbeat sense of humour where Bill Skarsgård and Maika Monroe are inept criminals fleeing after a robbery who end up prisoners of a psychopathic couple
