Unbreakable
Good 17 Points 2000

M. Night Shyamalan casts Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson in a heady supernatural thriller that pits the Unbreakable Willis against the Breakable Jackson. This is an intriguing thriller with a not so smooth transition from character discovery to conclusion, but entertaining enough to keep you w…

Under the Skin
Great 83 Points 2013

Scarlett Johansson has never been more alluring or revealing than in Under the Skin, her second inhuman hottie role of the year. Her gave us her voice. Under the Skin gives us her body, extraordinary face and all. Serious ScoJo fans must see it, the adventurous ones anyway. It’s a super…

Very Good 66 Points 2021

Second-tier Marvel is first-class entertainment in the form of the 2021 Venom: Let There Be Carnage, especially given Tom Hardy being directed by Andy Serkis. The legendary Serkis knows his way around tangible superego characters, having been Gollum in Lord of the Rings….

Good 17 Points 2015

An interesting re-telling of the famous Frankenstein story, featuring James McAvoy as the mad scientist plus a big focus on his side-kick Igor (Daniel Radcliffe – what, no hump!?) and his love interest (Jessica Findlay). It’s a fresh twist on things that keeps the story interesting and provide…

Virtuosity
OK 11 Points 1995

Before Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe were Oscar winners, they stared together in this sci-fi action film from the early days of the internet. Everything about this film is heavy on the cheesiness, and advances in internet technology make some of the tech-talk laughable now. Still, for a fun…

Very Good 83 Points 2017

War is Hell — an equation that the concluding episode of Planet of the Apes hammers home relentlessly. Both sides of the war for Earth, aka the Planet of the Apes, have understandable reasons to kill The Other.

Their war is most assuredly hell, a legitimate, even perfectly justifiable hell…

War Of The Worlds
OK 17 Points 2005

Tom Cruise stars in one of the latest re-telling of the famous H.G. Wells tale. This is quickly recognizable as a Spielberg production, with ET-esque creatures, fantastical alien ships, and a family touch with dad Tom Cruise and cute daughter Dakota Fanning. It was entertaining to be sure, but I…

Watchmen
Good 125 Points 2009

It’s a big movie with a lot on its mind: Mostly that heroes are often seriously flawed and therefore institutions are intrinsically untrustworthy. But also that five out of six superheros are men, and the token female must dress as a dominatrix – with a bad costume in the case of Watchmen’s Silk…
