Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006)
Rating: ★★
May 24, 2009Afterlife for Suicides
Oddball film set in an afterlife for suicides. You keep expecting the film to burst out into a vein of rich black comedy that never comes and you are left with a film that feels as though it is being eccentric for the sake of it.

Nov 30, 2014Philip K. Dick Adaptation/Possible Messages from Aliens
Adaptation of an autobiographical Philip K. Dick book that he wrote in an attempt to make sense of a series of bizarre hallucinations, this long-rumoured film manages, despite a low-budget, to mainline the brain-twisting nature of Dick's writing better than any other adaptation

Kong: Skull Island (2017)
Rating: ★★★
Apr 15, 2017Giant Ape
Not a sequel but a reboot where King Kong is now part of a shared universe. This means we get less a tragic love story about Kong falling for a girl and being brought down by civilisation than Kong has become a heroic defender fighting off other monsters

Joker (2019)
Rating: ★★★★
Dec 28, 2019Comic-Book Super-Villain
This origin story of Batman's The Joker is less epic superheroics than it is a mundanely grounded work about one individual's rage against modern life. Less capes and costumes than something rooted in disturbed psychology and alienation that comes closest to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver

The eighth of the Mission: Impossible films. The previous entry Dead Reckoning was a high point in the series and this is left wrapping up the storyline in what would appear to be Tom Cruise’s final outing for the series
