Jun 24, 2007Alien Anthopolgist Studies Human Mating Behaviour
There is an appealingly satiric concept here – a parody of a nature documentary looking at human mating rituals from an alien perspective where everything is constantly being misinterpreted in terms of an animal behaviour – but what emerges is mostly a one-gag film

Jun 16, 2011Animation/Talking Animal Martial Arts
Sequel to DreamWorks hit animated film, this does little more than repeat the basics of its predecessor. The detail and texture of the film is amplified to a work of art, although you cannot help but wonder if this is something the under 10s care about.

Nov 20, 2012Martial Arts/Shaw Brothers Homage
RZA of rap group Wu-Tang Clan fame (with the aid of Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino) makes a dual acting/directing appearance with this homage to Shaw Brothers martial arts films … not quite the genuine article but a solid effort where RZA certainly doesn't embarrass himself

Aug 25, 2015Disney Animation/Tinker Bell Adventure
Another of Disney's Tinker Bell spinoff adventures. This has some slickly produced animation and does some occasionally cute pieces of fanservice that tie in to Peter Pan but is ultimately fantasy being produced for the single digit age groups

Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)
Rating: ★★
May 30, 2016Animation/Talking Animal Martial Arts
The Kung Fu Panda series feels like films for couch potatos – a handful of martial arts films cliches and a hero who proclaims the virtues of laziness, overeating and combats everything with his own self-inflated sense of awesomeness. What baffles about such low-engagement films is the quality of artistry lavished on them

Mar 3, 2019Post-Holocaust/Android on a Quest for Meaning
James Franco co-directed effort about an android on a quest across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Franco draws on cliches established by the Mad Max films and only makes an Albert Pyun film with pretensions
