The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is revived for a fifth outing. There is a new director in Rob Marshall but bar an energetic comic opening, he never does much that hits the zany heights of the previous entries

Dec 25, 2014Fairytale Parody Musical
There are some people who will regard this adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical as an instant classic; I am not one of those people. What we get is a lumbering, stagebound production that seems to lamely dip into the fairytale parody that Shrek and other films tapped far more engagingly over a decade ago

Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
Rating: ★★
Mar 22, 2019Flying Nanny Frolics
Mary Poppins was one of the greatest of all Disney live-action films, made with nonsensical charm and has become a much loved favourite. As part of the ongoing firesale that involves resurrecting almost all of their properties, this is a sequel. Its an exacting replication/homage to the original but that is the problem - it is a recapturing rather than seems to create its own sparkle
