Jan 25, 2003Evil Force Takes Over a Small Town/Dean R. Koontz Adaptation
One of the best and most underrated Dean R. Koontz adaptations, which creates eerie atmosphere out a town where the residents have disappeared due to what is revealed as a uniquely different creature

Sphere (1998)
Rating: ★★★★
Dec 16, 1999Crashed UFO Underwater/Michael Crichton Adaptation
Michael Crichton was hot property after the success of Jurassic Park but this was one flop. A by no means uninteresting film about a group of scientists in an underwater habitat making contact with an alien lifeform

The Sum of All Fears (2002)

The Sum of All Fears (2002)
Rating: ★★
Aug 25, 2002Nuclear Terrorism/Tom Clancy Adaptation
Fourth of the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan films, which performs a confusing continuity reset to recast the role with the younger Ben Affleck. The film's release was delayed by 9/11, which makes the plot about nuclear terrorism on US soil seems absurdly tame in retrospect

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Rating: ★★
Apr 29, 2009Comic-Book Superhero
After the disaster of X-Men: The Last Stand, the decision was made to give a whole film over to the series’s most popular character, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and to go with a prequel that told his origin story. Largely a film that exists as a series of superheroic action scenes

The Last Days on Mars (2013)

The Last Days on Mars (2013)
Rating: ★★★
Apr 13, 2014Expedition to Mars/Alien Zombie Infection
This starts out offering a fine astrophysically credible depiction of Mars only to quickly reach for the playbook of Alien cliches to essentially become Zombies on Mars. As long as one accepts the hackneyed premise for what it is, the film generates more than reasonable tension

Movie 43 (2013)
Rating: ★
Nov 8, 2013Anthology of Bad Taste Comedy Skits
An anthology of comedy skits that sets out to be in as bad taste as possible – you are left astounded how far a film has to go to offend in this post-South Park era. That and wondering if the producers had kidnapped some of the stars' family members to force them to participate

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

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Rating: ★★★½
Mar 9, 2019Animation/Comic-Book Superhero
Sony, the holders of the Spider-Man copyright, give impression of doing everything they can to squeeze what they can out of the property while Marvel Comics are hot. This is a madcap animated offering that sets out to mix up a host of alternate takes on Spider-Man in what visually resembles an explosion at a pop art exhibition

Asteroid City (2023)
Rating: ★★★
Jul 21, 2023Retro 1950s Comedy/Alien Visitor
Wes Anderson’s quirky individualistic films can be an acquired taste. This is set in a stunningly designed retro 1950s town as various oddball characters intersect in between the appearance of an alien visitor
