Jan 6, 2002Adventures Inside the Movie Screen/Action Movie Parody
A big flop upon release, this is one of the most underrated films in Arnold Schwarzenegger's oeuvre, a sophisticated and witty meta-fiction that views the cinema screen as another dimension and travels inside to allow Arnold to wittily deflate himself and the action genre

Nostradamus (1994)
Rating: ★★
Oct 28, 2001Historical Biopic of a Clairvoyant
Biopic of the so-called prophet Nostradamus, although this seems more interested in depicting him as a progressive thinker of his era than as a prophet. Directed by Roger Christian who next went on to make Battlefield Earth

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Rating: ★★½
Nov 16, 1999Intergalactic Adventures
Third of the Star Trek: The Next Generation films has Jonathan Frakes back in the director's seat where he again plays to his strengths with great visual effects scenes but the story feels like a filler episode

The All New Adventures of Laurel & Hardy in “For Love or Mummy” (1999)
Rating: ★
Dec 31, 2000Two Idiots vs a Mummy
Bizarre effort in which actors play Laurel and Hardy who are engaged in a comedic caper against a mummy. The film is all excruciating knockabout slapstick

Isle of Dogs (2018)

Isle of Dogs (2018)
Rating: ★★★★
Nov 17, 2018Stop-Motion Animation/Talking Dogs
Wes Anderson is a critical darling with his unique brand of banal whimsy. He is at his best when he does stop-motion animation as in Fantastic Mr. Fox and here. Essentially a Disney talking animals animated film where the animals talk like real people, this comes with charms that make it out of the standouts of the year

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)
Rating: ★★
Apr 20, 2019Animation/World of Dragons
One of the most beautifully made formula animated films of recent vintage but at the end of the day no more than a film that is by the numbers where the artistry is unsupported by the banal script

Nov 23, 2019Disney Animation in Live-Action/Talking Animals
The Disney firesale goes on where it now seems the studio's policy to leverage anything that was ever a success and endlessly throw it back at us. The latest iteration of this is of their animated films being rehashed in live-action. At which the best compliment you can pay this remake of the 1955 film is that it is at least better than The Lion King
