Jun 14, 2002Urban Psychosis
Possibly the best film made by Martin Scorsese. A disturbing vision of urban psychosis set in a morally festering New York City where the psycho, Robert De Niro’s title character who spills over with pent-up violence, actually becomes the hero of the show

Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)
Rating: ★★
Dec 16, 2000Fantasy Anthology/TV Series Remake
Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, John Landis and George Miller came together to make this film homage to Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone. The episodes are variable but the standout is Miller's Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

Sep 11, 2003Pixar Animation/Talking Fish
An unabashed delight among the Pixar films about a fish parent on a quest to find his missing son. This comes with an extraordinarily vibrant palette of colours and a line-up of winningly eccentric characters

Mar 20, 2016Animation/Young Boy Alien Visitor Fable
On its own terms, this is a frequently lovely film. What gets me is how the director made a big thing during publicity of how much he loved Antoine de Saint-Exupery's original fable but offers up a completely different story that at best has occasional Little Prince interludes

Jun 25, 2016Pixar Animation/Talking Fish
Pixar have never been the same since giving in to sequelitis but this sequel to Finding Nemo does recapturing some of their heyday. Not perfect but this has a winning array of new characters and some delightfully madcap comic set-pieces

The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
Rating: ★★★
Nov 21, 2016Animation/Talking Animals
I really enjoyed Illumination Entertainment's debut film Despicable Me but thereafter they just seemed to slip into formula and following what every other animation studio is. Despite low initial enthusiasm, they regain their form here, doing nothing radically out of the ordinary but producing a modestly engaging work
