"Asterix & Obelix - The Middle Kingdom" (2023): Epically silly, un-PC throwback shouldn't work. Does.

"Inheritance" (2020): Relentlessly illogical/unconvincing. A spooky premise wasted. OR: A legacy you don't want, trust me.

"Rampage" (2018): Less shit than expected. Videogame was better.

"Ready Or Not" (2019): Samara Weaving good, rest of fillum bad.

"The Wandering Earth" (2019): Rich speculation from China's top scifi author. AND: PG tells me the sequel's even better.

"X" (2022): Porn-themed horror with arthouse style. Recommended.

"Year Of The Scab" (2017): Grateful ring-ins used, abused, left confused.

[Seen on Netflix, Kanopy, Netflix, Disney+, Netflix, Prime, Disney+.]

Ever get the feeling you don't do anything except watch movies???

"Dave Stevens - Drawn To Perfection" (2022): Like his work, this doco's nearly flawless.

"In The Shadow Of The Moon" (2019): Gritty mystery/action, effective soundtrack, undersells threat.

"Into The Grizzly Maze" (2015): Old-fashioned brotherly drama, killer-bear drama.

"Quantumania" (2023): Honey, I shrunk the dysfunctional superhero family.

"Room 212" (2019): "A Christmas Carol" for extra-marital affairs.

"The Shanghai Job" (2017): Brain off, enjoy colourful scenery + heist hijinx.

[Seen on Kanopy, Netflix, Disney+ x2, Kanopy, Prime.]

"Halloween Kills" (2021): Excessive continuity, quirky characterisation, middle-film filler.

"Halloween Ends"(2022): Fucking woeful conclusion. Deeply unlikeable. Epic joke?

"Crater" (2023): Lunar kidventure corny, cute, even kinda subversive. OR: At 12, I would have adored it.

"Girl From Nowhere" (2017): Dark South African indie full of surprises.

"Morbius" (2022): Awkward answer to unasked question mildly fascinates.

[Seen on Netflix x2, Disney+, Prime x2.]

"Eat Local/s" (2017): Eight archvampires walk into a remote farmhouse...

"Morgan" (2016): We need to talk about synthetic humans. AND: Shame it's so bloody straightforward and unambiguous.

"Peter Pan & Wendy" (2023): For what it is - could not fault. OR: Classic gets scenic, CGI-enhanced, inclusive makeover.

"Three Thousand Years Of Longing" (2022): "Arabian Nights" talespinning with EXTRAORDINARY visual presentation.

"Vampires In America" (2022): Fake-umentary appeals only as object of ridicule.
