28 Weeks Later (2007)

28 Weeks Later (2007)
Rating: ★★★½
May 27, 2007Post-Holocaust/Zombie Outbreak
I was cautious about hailing 28 Days Later as a modern classic; this sequel is in fact a much better film. Newcomer director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo draws it out into a series of superbly sustained suspense sequences

X: First Class (2011)

X: First Class (2011)
Rating: ★★★
Jun 5, 2011Comic-Book Superheroes/Origin Prequel
An X-Men origin story that serves as the occasion to recast the series with younger actors. This works far better than the previous two films, integrating the characters in a strong story, although is quiet at the superheroic action

Insidious Chapter 2 (2013)
Rating: ★★★
Sep 13, 2013Haunting/Possession
James Wan proves himself consistently one of the finest directors working in the horror genre with this sequel to his 2010 film. The plot is trimmed to deliver a lean and effective scare show and Wan once again produces a series of eerie and unworldly jumps

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Rating: ★★
Jun 11, 2016Comic-Book Superheroes
The seventh X-Men chapter arrives with a certain ennui. Bryan Singer creates some epic scenes but the sprawling ensemble and the series' ragged continuity makes it hard to invest in the characters, while the new villain looks like a B movie wizard and the mass destruction climax comes surprisingly by the book

Peter Rabbit (2018)
Rating: ★
Apr 29, 2018Talking Animals
Beatrix Potter wrote genteel stories of talking animals in the English countryside. This is a film so astonishingly awful in its treatment of the source material - it feels like someone drunkenly urinating on Beatrix Potter's gravestone for lulz. The No 1 contender for Worst Film of 2018

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)
Rating: ★★★
Sep 15, 2023Animation/Comic-Book Superheroes
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the pop culture phenomenon of the 1980s. They have not fared so well in the 2000s but this new animated film written by Seth Rogen is a promising start
