Mindhunters (2004)

Rating: ★

I Am Legend (2007)

Rating: ★★

Jan 19, 2008Last Man on Earth vs Mutants

The third film version of Richard Matheson’s book is only a remake of the previous version The Omega Man. Crucially, this throws out the essence of the book for a far less interesting piece about Will Smith fighting mutants in the ruins

Director: Francis Lawrence

Hancock (2008)

Winter’s Tale (2014)

Rating: ★★

Feb 15, 2014Urban Fantasy/Romance/Fate and Miracles

Akiva Goldsman, a screenwriter who has laid a trail of devastation through the genre, attempts to film a classic fantasy novel that has aptly described as unfilmable, resulting in a curtailed story that works in individual scenes but is mostly a spawling patchwork of fantasy elements and a romance that never seems to spark

Director: Akiva Goldsman

Actors: Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Jessica Brown-Findlay, William Hurt, …

Childhood’s End (2015)

Rating: ★

Jan 17, 2016Alien Visitors/Arthur C. Clarke Adaptation

Arthur C. Clarke's book is one of the all-time SF classics; this mini-series adaptation counts as one of the biggest book-to-film abortions in the SF genre handled by people who know nothing about SF

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

Rating: ★★

Jul 15, 2017Arthurian Legends

Guy Ritchie's take on the Arthurian legends is an awkward beast that comes out as half wannabe Michael Bay film giddy with CGI delirium and half one of Ritchie's typical Man's Man caper films

Director: Guy Ritchie

Actors: Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Djimon Honsou, …

May 20, 2022Pyrokinesis/Stephen King Adaptation
