Brilliantly acted historical epic marred by being a little too long and a little unsure on when it wants to be set.
Disney taking the Mickey out of Disney with some stellar performances and brilliantly executed set-pieces.Β An absolutely enchanting (heh) ride.
A witty and often weird snapshot of early 90's Ireland. McCarthy is an excellent observer and clever writer, creating a book filled with folklore and interesting ancedotes, even if it does occasionally take a wander off its own path.
Truly excellent TV with a great cast, some amazing action, and a whole heap of twists. I think it will comfortably be considered a classic in years to come.
Marvel's heist movie has some tonal flip-flops but lands on all six feet to make a very unlikely hero a comedic and heartfelt success, proving that size really doesn't matter.
A weird hybrid attempting to create aΒ Pan's Labyrinth style child-psychology twist that never quite lands, but does contain some interesting historical musings on Freud and early psychology.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
A dark, sombre, and slightly terrifying meditation on morality and societal failings wrapped up in beautiful animation, excellent songs, and some bold story choices.
An enjoyable animal adventure with a solid heart.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
An almost worthy successor, with some excellent character development, yet another brilliant soundtrack, and a captivating story. Plus, it's utterly stunning to look at. Unfortunately, let down a little by some elements of the humour.
Perfection. A brilliant soundtrack, hilarious cast, and wonderful direction combine to make a superhero tour de force!Β Still makes me laugh hysterically, tear up occasionally, and love every damn minute β and I don't see that ever changing!
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
A beautiful steampunk vision of a non-existent Jules Verne book that can be a little shallow on plot, but largely makes up for it in world building, action, and heart.
A spinoff of a stretched out kids franchise has no right being this much fun. If you're a cat person or Shrek fan, you'll find a lot to like; if not, you'll almost certainly still have a fun ride with scattered laughter throughout.
