Apr 19, 2007Fantasticised Historical Battle/Graphic Novel Adaptation
Zack Snyder's adaptation of the classic Frank Miller graphic novel about the Greek battle of Thermopylae. In replicating the look of the original's panels, Snyder pushes what would otherwise be a standard historical film into something extraordinarily stylised and fantastic

Dec 27, 2014Backwoods Brutality/Evil Children
Highly effective British variant on the Backwoods Brutality film with an innocent couple being pursued through the woods by a group of murderous children. This gets its teeth into you with gruelling tension and rarely lets up until the end

Jun 5, 2011Comic-Book Superheroes/Origin Prequel
An X-Men origin story that serves as the occasion to recast the series with younger actors. This works far better than the previous two films, integrating the characters in a strong story, although is quiet at the superheroic action

It is nice to see Bryan Singer regain his form after several years lull. The plot is nothing world-shattering but it is nice to see a character-driven X-Men, while Singer delivers the superheroics with a cheer-out loud elan that most of the sequels missed by a wide margin

Rating: ★★
Jun 11, 2016Comic-Book Superheroes
The seventh X-Men chapter arrives with a certain ennui. Bryan Singer creates some epic scenes but the sprawling ensemble and the series' ragged continuity makes it hard to invest in the characters, while the new villain looks like a B movie wizard and the mass destruction climax comes surprisingly by the book

Dec 24, 2017Norwegian Serial Killer Thriller
International production based on a series of books about a Norwegian detective. This flopped badly and was called confusing. Mostly, it is a serial killer thriller that fails to hold you gripped with its unfoldings
