Oct 9, 2008Desert Island Survival/Giant Animals
Hallmark tv mini-series adaptation of Jules Verne's desert island drama featuring no less than Patrick Stewart as Captain Nemo. This sinks badly amid incredibly shoddy giant animal digital effects

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
Rating: ★★
Jun 21, 2006Comic-Book Superheroes
Brett Ratner inherits the X-Men franchise from Bryan Singer for the third film in the series and promptly killed it off (after this point everything became prequels featuring Young X-Men). Ratner's handling of the superheroic action lacks Singer's exhilaration or any affinity for the characters

Apr 8, 2015Post-Holocaust Survival
Modest post-holocaust film that tries to do something different to the usual action derbies of Mad Max 2 et al, focusing on the survival efforts of a group of young people. It doesn't entirely find them before throwing in standard wasteland crazies but the journey there is interesting

May 1, 2010Ritual Killer on the Subway/Clive Barker Adaptation
One of the best Clive Barker adaptations. Japan's Ryuhei Kitamura brings a masterful assurance with the horror elements and does gore in astonishingly new and unrealised ways

Jan 22, 2014Action Film/Mystical Artifacts
A copy of The Expendables (albeit with the addition of fantasy elements) that brings together a line-up of B-action movie actors as a team. While some of the actors shine, the feel is of a cheaper effort earnestly trying to copy its betters
