Apr 26, 2018Zombies Overtake an Airport Terminal
A sequel to Quarantine, the English-language remake of [Rec]. Abandoning the Found Footage concept, and indeed much continuity, to the other films, this is nothing more than a standard zombie film set inside an airport terminal

The Lego Movie (2014)
Rating: ★★★½
Feb 7, 2014Animation/Adventures in the Lego Universe
How much fun can a film based around Lego characters be? A film that overflows with cleverness, wit and energy. The most fun is in the film's creating a madcap mix-up of characters from different franchises

May 10, 2015Inside a Mentally Ill Man's Mind/Black Comedy
On the scale of weird movies, this is about as out there as it gets – Ryan Reynolds has conversations with his cat and dog who urge him to cut people's heads off, which continue to talk as he keeps them in his refrigerator. A mind-bogglingly warped film and quite brilliant in its dark funniness when you work out what is going on

Mar 9, 2015Haunted Happenings on an Airplane
Takashi Shimizu has done commendable work on the Ju-on/The Grudge films and so I anticipated his taking on the airplane-board horror genre. Only he delivers a surprisingly middle-of-the-road handling before reaching a cliched twist ending that truly deserves to be put out to pasture

May 30, 2015Haunting
It has become an overused phrase in this site's critical arsenal to say "yet another 70s/80s remake that is inferior to the original". The 1982 Poltergeist was one of the great ghost stories of the era; this hits all the beats and with bigger effects but fails to find any of the haunted mood of the original

Jan 30, 2016Sinister Possibly Living Doll
There is a certain appeal to the premise – nanny is expected to tend a doll that everyone pretends is real only to discover it might be alive. Director William Brent Bell but he redeems himself in terms of creepy atmosphere only to blow it with a lame twist ending

The Lego Ninjago Movie (2017)
Rating: ★★★
Oct 22, 2017Animation/Adventures in the Lego Universe
Third of the animated films based on the Lego toy line. This has the same fast-paced humour and witty fourth-wall breaking gags as its predecessors, even if you suspect the Lego Movie brand is starting to fade

Nov 30, 2019Stephen King Adaptation/Killer Clown Monster
I had mixed feelings about the first part Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's novel. The second part here is a better film, although it too eventually gets buried in over an hour's worth of Muschietti's jumpshocks
