Mini-Review: Nice special effects and Daft Punk don't make up for what is a soulless movie. There's no real story here, just some vague premise to hang effects sequences on. Nothing that happens feels like it has any consequence, it's like they had a bunch of different ideas of what they wanted to do and instead of focusing on a few decided to just throw everything in regardless of whether it made sense or was necessary. A movie made to kick-start a franchise rather than tell a good story.

Mini-Review: A remake of The Prisoner, simply by it's existance, will polarise fans of the original series, which leads to some unfair criticism towards this surprisingly well crafted reimagining. The same basic plot as the original is present, but the much feared explanation is actually interesting and well earned. McKellen does well in his role, but Caviezel, though enjoyable enough, lacks the charisma and intensity that McGoohan brought to it. The Village is also less surreal and dissapointing as a result

Mini-Review: Cage brings his special brand of crazy to a surprisingly well told story of a man slowly losing his mind. This is one time Cage's overacting fits the role perfectly, his over the top mannerisms working well showing someone dissapearing into their own world. It's a very black comedy, similar to American Psycho, with the over-the-top absurdity being the point and Cage commits to that totally. A very strange movie that looks stupid at first glance, but there is an interesting story here too.

Mini-Review: A pure adventure movie, Clash Of The Titans feels very old school with some lovely sets and costume design. The stop-motion effects are mixed, but have a certain charm to them. The action scenes are great though, the climactic battle between Perseus and Medusa still works and is much better than the remake. The film is a grand adventure that tells a classic good vs evil tale. Nothing groundbreaking here bar the effects work, but a perfect adventure movie for all ages.
