Lilo & Stitch (2025) - Rated 19 Jun 2025
"Very disturbing blatently colonial fundamental story changes that change and remove entire emotional meaning of original. The most disturbing is Lilo has been re-written as merely a burden to her sister's desire for a career in America, who at the end of the film does indeed leave Lilo in foster care, to be a marine biologist - wait for it - not in Hawaii where some of the best colleges (and free!) are for that subject - but in California. A total inversion of the original film's message."
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - Rated 15 May 2025
Moon (2009) - Rated 06 Apr 2025
"A great achievement on only a $5 million budget. Unique in that there is only 1 actor on screen for essentially the entire movie. Very great model work and set making. Not much of an ending, in a sense, which is only felt more so due to the previously well paced and dramatic build up to something happening."
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) - Rated 09 Mar 2025
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) - Rated 09 Mar 2025
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) - Rated 09 Mar 2025
"They messed up the whole thing with this confused and deiberately emotionally unsatisfying ending. They almost retconned themselves with a totally unnessecary death that basically ruins the major emotional motivation for the first 2/3 films, certainly the first film can longer stand by itself anymore. You could say 'it's not supposed to', but I disagree. We're making movies here people. You need an emotional arc. The tacked on 'happy' family scene at the end - just confusing."
The Hunger Games (2012) - Rated 07 Mar 2025
Cop Land (1997) - Rated 20 Jan 2025
"A perfectly decent cop drama from 1997, with an unusually high-spec cast. Having Stallone in the role he's in, just inherently builds viewer tension, especially more so when this was released."
Frankenstein (1994) - Rated 01 Dec 2024
"Definitely strange how bad rated this film is, as it's really good, and unlike most Hollywood versions, actually sticks largely to the brilliant seminal book."
Mercury Rising (1998) - Rated 23 Nov 2024
"Strange and often nonsensical film that pits an evil machiavillian NSA going to war with the heroic but slightly dopey and by the book FBI, over a code breaking child. Very little is explained, and very little in the film makes any sense, but the two leads do a good job, and at least the germ of the story makes it servicable."
