May 15, 1999Shakespeare Adaptation/Fairy Enchantments
Amid Kenneth Branagh's dynamic cinematic revival of Shakespeare in the 1990s, there was this all-star adaptation of Shakespeare's whimsy about fairy enchantments. An okay adaptation but it is eclipsed by other superior versions of the story

Apr 19, 2007Fantasticised Historical Battle/Graphic Novel Adaptation
Zack Snyder's adaptation of the classic Frank Miller graphic novel about the Greek battle of Thermopylae. In replicating the look of the original's panels, Snyder pushes what would otherwise be a standard historical film into something extraordinarily stylised and fantastic

Nov 1, 2012Nazis Invade England/Satiric Alternate History/Puppet Film
A puppet film about a satiric Nazi invasion of England in World War II. Imagine It Happened Here by way of Team America. This has its amusements but is uneven to the point you are not sure at times whether it is taking the patriotic jingoism seriously or satirically

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
