Clay Pigeons (1998)
Aug 13, 1999Smalltown Psycho Black Comedy
Small town murder/psycho film where an initially promising black sense of humour soon loses its head of steam. On the other hand, a talented cast keeps the fiim going

One of the better copies of Fatal Attraction with Rose McGowan as school pupil with a crush on her teacher who proceeds to ruthlessly eliminate all in her way
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
Jun 15, 2001Disney Animation/The Quest for Atlantis
One of the less successful films of the Disney renaissance of the 90s/00s. Disney has never done well with animated SF. That aside, this a very nicely animated Steampunk adventure
Atlantis: Milo’s Return (2003)
Jun 20, 2010Disney Animation Sequel
Another shabby Disney video-released sequel, in this case to Atlantis the Lost Empire. The result looks like three episodes of an unsold tv series slapped together to sell as a film

Meet the Spartans (2008)
Feb 3, 2008Parodies of Various Films
The painfully unfunny films of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are a random assortment of films of the last six months run over with crude and vulgar jokes. In this case, they take on parodying principally 300
Dead Space: Downfall (2008)
Apr 9, 2014Animation/Videogame Adaptation/Spaceship of Mutated Dead
Animated spinoff of the videogame. Your first impression is that animation is not suited for a gore-drenched film. One's misgivings are silenced by the wildly phantasmagoric range of creatures the film throws at you
Justice League: Doom (2012)
May 7, 2012Animation/Comic-Book Superheroes
A relative disappointment among the mostly excellent animated DC superhero films, this pits each member of the Justice League with a matching super-villain only who seemingly kills them off
Superman: Red Son (2020)
Mar 6, 2020Comic-Book Superhero/Alternate History/Animation
A very different take on the Superman story that asks What if Superman had grown up in the Soviet Union rather than in the US and become a paragon of Communist virtue
Ghosts of the Ozarks (2021)
Aug 5, 202219th Century Village Beset by Mysterious Monsters
Worthwhile film that has a strong vibe of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village about a post-US Civil War town that comes under attack by mysterious creatures
