Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Rating: ★★
Dec 6, 2002Young Wizard
The second of the Harry Potter films and better than its predecessor. Chris Columbus has his tendency to overblown effects more in check but that does leave the film more dependent on J.K. Rowling's contrived deus ex machina plotting

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Rating: ★★½
Nov 26, 2005Young Wizard
Fourth of the Harry Potter films and one that feels much more seamless and sure of itself as a story. The problem is the absurd contrivation of J.K. Rowling's weak story that wheels out every sports movie cliche in the book

Rating: ★★★½
May 21, 2016Anthology of Fairytales
A trio of tales from the world's oldest fairytale collection – but quite different to anything you expect … While there is all the magic, ogres and princesses, this is a beautifully lush film made for adults and less about simple homilies that about fate and its cruel twists

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)
Rating: ★★★
Aug 1, 2026Star Wars Spinoff Film
A spinoff film from The Mandalorian tv series, this is the best film set in the Star Wars universe this side of the 2000s for the simple reason that it has invested in characters rather than slavish fanboy callbacks
