Paparazzi (2004)
Nov 17, 2004Celebrity Eliminates Paparazzi
Mel Gibson produced film where a Hollywood actor becomes fed up with paparazzi and begins eliminating them
Tom Hollander
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
Jul 24, 2006Pirate Fantasy Swashbuckler
The second of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Johnny Depp and all the principals are back and much of the eccentric humour is present but the action has undergone budget bloat
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
Jul 25, 2007Pirate Fantasy Swashbuckler
Third of the Pirates of the Caribbean films and purportedly made without a completed script, this becomes bloated and sprawling
Hanna (2011)
Apr 16, 2011Teenage Girl Assassin
A film about a genetically tinkered teenage girl assassin that never lives up to its potential. Saoirse Ronan is great in the title role but director Joe Wright never gives the action scenes the kick they need
About Time (2013)
Nov 3, 2013Time Travel Romantic Comedy
Time travel film that feels like a romantic comedy version of The Time Traveler's Wife (with Rachel McAdams in the same role in both films). Played with a good deal of feelgood warmth and likeability by all
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)
Aug 1, 2015Spy/Action Film
The Mission: Impossible films have become superbly polished vehicles with exotic locales, death-defying stuntwork and spectacular action sequences. This enacts it all well; the main problem is that Ghost Protocol is such a tough act to follow that this cannot help but fall in its shadow
Bird Box (2018)
Feb 9, 2019Mysterious Catastrophe After Which People Are Forced to Not Look Outside
Very similar to A Quiet Place from several months earlier where here people cannot look outdoors and must remain blindfolded. Hindered by a frustrating lack of any explanations as to what is happening
Mowgli (2018)
Apr 26, 2019Jungle Boy
This Andy Serkis directed version of The Jungle Book with motion capture animated animals had its thunder stolen by the more high-profile Disney remake of 2016 but is a far superior film
Monster: The Ed Gein Story (2025)
Oct 25, 2025True-Life Body Snatcher and Necrophile
An eight-episode tv mini-series based on true-life necrophile/grave robber Ed Gein. This expands the story out and considerably embellishes the facts but is one of the most outrageously out there pieces of tv watching you will ever come across
