Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Rating: ★★
Dec 28, 2004Gothic Children's Fantasy
Film adaptation of the popular children's books expends much effort on the design and look and casts a wildly over-acting Jim Carrey as the villain. Beyond that, the show never much goes anywhere

Nov 30, 2009Stop-Motion Animation/Talking Animals

Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
Rating: ★★
Mar 22, 2019Flying Nanny Frolics
Mary Poppins was one of the greatest of all Disney live-action films, made with nonsensical charm and has become a much loved favourite. As part of the ongoing firesale that involves resurrecting almost all of their properties, this is a sequel. Its an exacting replication/homage to the original but that is the problem - it is a recapturing rather than seems to create its own sparkle
