The Colour of Magic (2008)
Jan 11, 2009Fantasy Comedy/Terry Pratchett Adaptation
The second live-action tv adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books (in fact combining two books). This is uneven and oddly padded but beautifully produced

Rage of the Yeti (2011)
Nov 19, 2014Yeti Monster Movie
Typical Syfy Channel monster movie directed by actor David Hewlett. Hewlett seems to be taking little of the film seriously, while the two lead characters are played as strung-out thrill-seeking skateboarders
Storage 24 (2012)
Sep 10, 2013Alien Monster in a Storage Locker
British effort that proves to be no more than another copy of Alien – set in a warehouse of storage lockers. The film never consists of anything beyond a crashingly ordinary regurgitation of the moves used by an endless number of Alien copies

An amusing superhero spoof from the UK, a mockumentary following the everyday Bob, who is rather of a twit, as he goes on a date and his frustrations dealing with the bureaucracy required to go into action
Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 (2017)
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
Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
Sep 23, 2017Live-Action Transformer Robots
The fifth of Michael Bay's Transformers films. This comes with more of an outright comedy focus than any of the other films where Bay seems to be second-guessing his critics and spoofing his own peccadilloes in quote marks, only to produce the silliest entry in the series yet
