Blade Trinity (2004)

Blade Trinity (2004)
Rating: ★★★½
Jan 6, 2005Comic-Book Vampire Hunter
Third of the Blade films with Wesley Snipes. As director, series screenwriter David S. Goyer emulates the same exhilarating, kinetic moves that Guillermo Del Toro infused the second film with, while the script zings with his wryly cynical dialogue

Ratatouille (2007)
Rating: ★★★½
Sep 9, 2007Pixar Animation/Talking Rat Chef
The eighth film from Pixar and Brad Bird's follow-up to the hit of The Incredibles. Telling the story of a rat that becomes a gourmet chef, this is slightly the lesser among the high standard that Pixar have set nevertheless still immensely enjoyable

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)
Rating: ★★
Jul 15, 2012End of the World Romantic Comedy
The End of the World seems the least likely backdrop for a romantic comedy. Newcomer Lorene Scafaria seems less interested in depicting social collapse than in making an insipid romcom road movie with two leads who fail to strike up any connection

Odd Thomas (2013)

Odd Thomas (2013)
Rating: ★★½
Nov 10, 2013Eccentric Clairvoyant-Medium/Dean R. Koontz Adaptation
At first glance, Stephen Sommers and Dean R. Koontz seem strange bedfellows, but oddly enough it works – Koontz gives Sommers more story than he is used to working with and surprisingly it is the likeable characters and mind-boggling quirks of plot at the forefront rather than Sommers' usual CGI bombast

Rating: ★★
Jul 16, 2017Online Mass Surveillance Thriller
Hollywood tries to make a big message film about online mass surveillance but renders anodyne straw arguments. Meanwhile, back in the real world you cannot help but think things the film depicts things might happen very different

Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Rating: ★★★½
Nov 8, 2019Gonzo Workplace Satire
This directorial debut for rapper Boots Riley is a very funny satire on telemarketing that becomes increasingly more surreal as it goes on. Imagine something like Spike Lee around the point of Do the Right Thing mixed with the absurdist humour of Kurt Vonnegut

The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019)
Rating: ★★★
Sep 8, 2019Animation/Talking Animals
Illumination's The Secret Life of Pets came with a winning concept - a Garfield like series of wry observations on humanity by pets - and this is one amongst the current plague of animated sequels that emerges equally likably
