Rating: ★★
Jul 29, 2002Dream-Invading Boogey Man
The point where the A Nightmare on Elm Street series became what everyone remembers, where Robert Englund's Freddy went from a boogeyman into the equivalent of Wile E. Coyote in a Road Runner cartoon, popping up like a malevolent jack-in-a-box to quip a one-liner and dispatch victims in a display of makeup effects virtuosity

The Matrix (1999)
Rating: ★★★★★
May 11, 1999Virtual Reality
A film that was as groundbreaking when it came out as Star Wars was in its day. The Wachowskis create a defining work on Virtual Reality themes and do so with a sublime cool and a series of breathtaking action moves that blew everybody away

May 23, 2003Virtual Reality
The first of the sequels to The Matrix inevitably disappointed on the massive build-up. The Wachowskis leave more questions than answers, while the new action scenes are often jaw-dropping they also feel boiler-plated on

Rating: ★★★
Nov 11, 2003Virtual Reality
Third of The Matrix sequels and the weakest of the series. This offers one showstopping effects sequence, on the other hand it also leaves a host of unanswered questions dangling

Mission: Impossible III (2006)
Rating: ★★★½
Jun 21, 2006Spy/Action Film
For his third outing in the series, Tom Cruise made a smart bet on giving the reins to J.J. Abrams who made his directorial debut and turned in the most enjoyable entry in the series to that point. One of the best moves is in the casting of Philip Seymour Hoffman as the villain of the show

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Rating: ★★
Jun 25, 2007Comic-Book Superheroes
The 2005 Fantastic Four was an amiable entry among the Marvel Comics adaptations of the 2000s. This sequel substitutes lowbrow comedy and renders the great character of the Silver Surfer as a CGI cartoon

Apr 11, 2013Grim Survival in a Frozen Future
This creates a fascinatingly different future - a world of grim survivalism amid a new Ice Age in the aftermath of Global Warming. The look of the film is fantastic, only to fritter it on an action focus and Mad Max cliches

Man of Steel (2013)
Rating: ★★½
Jun 14, 2013Comic-Book Superhero
With Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan under one roof, a reboot of Superman could hardly go wrong could it? Not entirely bad but I spent the first half of the film irritated at its throwing great chunks of comic-book canon out the window and the second half bored with the mass destruction orgy that drags on and on

The Signal (2014)
Rating: ★★★
Sep 7, 2014Possible Alien Abductees/Reality Bender
A film ostensibly about alien abductees that has rather pleasurably been construed as a series of wild head-spinning twists that are constantly pulling everything we think we know is going on from under the audience, even if it eventually provides more questions than it ever does answers

Passengers (2016)
Rating: ★★★★
Jan 21, 2017Cryogenic Sleepers Awake Aboard a Space Voyage
The gratifying pleasure of a solid conceptually-driven science-fiction film – all based around the premise of "what if a cryogenic sleeper woke up halfway through a deep space voyage?" and the moral choices he must make. Strong, intelligent character-driven science-fiction and possibly the best designed film of the year

It took DC Comics the better part of a decade to catch up with the massive success Marvel Comics are having on screen in crossing their characters over. Zack Snyder comes to the party offering up THE biggest headline double-bill in superherodom

Dec 15, 2018Marvel Comics Miniature Superhero
Ant-Man was a lightweight but perfectly enjoyable entry in the horde of Marvel Comics adaptations. This sequel has amplified the comedy element, seemingly with the intent of being the joker among the MCU pack
