Apr 26, 2000Writer's Block/Paranoia Black Comedy
Hollywood noir from the Coen Brothers, this takes us inside the crumbling mental state of a screenwriter in the 1930s. Like a David Lynch remake of Day of the Locust, this comes rich in the Coens' black uncomfortable humour

Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams (2002)
Rating: ★★½
Jan 25, 2002Juvenile Spy Adventures
The second of Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids films is slightly the lesser of its predecessor – it makes the mistake of stripping out the gadgets – but is still fun and has the wacky surrealism Rodriguez gave the first film

Nov 3, 2007Haunted Hotel Room/Stephen King Adaptation
Very spooky Stephen King adaptation about a haunted hotel room. In contrast to other haunted house films, this is a one-man show that keeps itself minimally contained inside the room with considerable effect

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
Rating: ★
Aug 9, 2014Comic-Book Superheroes
This reboot of the pop culture icons of 80s/90s is an ugly failure on almost every level. The Turtles I remember were hip, funky and bubbled with boyish enthusiasm; these Turtles seem sinister oversized creations, while the film's adrenalised over-production and emphasis on grit seems to have missed the essential element of fun

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)
Rating: ★★½
Jun 12, 2016Comic-Book Superheroes
Nobody has good things to say about the 2014 reboot of the Turtles. This sequel is stuck with its legacy – giant over-sized Turtles that lacked the cuteness of the originals; bitchy non-acting Megan Fox – but comes out winningly by doing one thing – emulating the spirit of the original cartoon series
