Aug 20, 2013Secret World of Magic Amid the Everyday
A Young Adult fantasy adaptation that fells a Harry Potter wannabe repackaged with the brooding teen romanticism of the Twilight series, all under a director whose indifferent handling fails to animate any of the material

Dec 3, 2017Weather Control/Disaster Movie

Feb 23, 2019Post-Holocaust World of Mobile Cities

Mar 3, 2018Future-Set Neo-Noir
Duncan Jones has become a director of promise in the last few years. Here he appropriates the Blade Runner look to make a futuristic neo-noir but the result never quite works. The noir plot never sufficiently keys in, while the derivative future setting is of no real relevance to the story
