Antony and Cleopatra

Brilliantly acted historical epic marred by being a little too long and a little unsure on when it wants to be set.

Enchanted

Disney taking the Mickey out of Disney with some stellar performances and brilliantly executed set-pieces.Β  An absolutely enchanting (heh) ride.

McCarthy's Bar

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.

The Night Manager

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.

Gretel and the Dark

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.

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.

Guardians of the Galaxy

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 – 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.

Puss In Boots

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.
