Shrek (2001)

  • Popular
  • 2001, USA
  • 1 Comment

Two decades on, this Oscar-winning, Cannes Palme dโ€™Or-nominated (!) animated delight remains as energetic, refreshing and meaningful as ever.

Matrix Resurrections, The (2021)

  • Popular
  • 2021, Lana Wachowski, USA
  • Leave a comment

This is the worst โ€˜Matrixโ€™ by milesโ€”a tediously talky, muddled mess of meta-recursive ideas that dilutes the mythology that made the trilogy, flawed as it may be, such a blast.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

  • Popular
  • 2021, USA
  • 3 Comments

The tick-the-checkbox fan servicing approach is a mixed bagโ€”the nostalgising can be oddly satisfying but the storytelling ironically feels regressive in the very construct designed to entertain a range of creative possibilities.

Eternals (2021)

  • Popular, Zhao, Chloe
  • 2021, Chloe Zhao, USA
  • 1 Comment

Probably a stretch to say that this is Malick meets Marvel, but Chloe Zhao delivers something differentโ€”a slower-paced, exposition-heavy actioner about creationism, existence and the ties that bind superheroes to their humanity.

No Time to Die (2021)

  • Fukunaga, Cary, Popular
  • 2021, Cary Fukunaga, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

A rather bloated effort despite the generous and intense servings of action, this is a half-decent final outing for Daniel Craigโ€™s Bond.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The (2008)

  • Popular, Spielberg, Steven
  • 2008, Steven Spielberg, USA
  • 2 Comments

The continuation of one of popular cinema’s enduring franchises is also one of Steven Spielberg’s rare misfires.

Spielberg at his unabashedly most entertaining sinceย Raiders of the Lost Ark.ย

Last Crusade, The (1989)

  • Popular, Spielberg, Steven
  • 1989, Steven Spielberg, USA
  • 3 Comments

Spielberg’s strong morality tale against greed is as spectacular as it is funny – my favourite of the Indiana Jones films.

Matrix, The (1999)

  • Popular
  • 1999, Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, USA
  • 12 Comments

A landmark โ€˜90s sci-fi masterpiece with that rare combo of style and substanceโ€”two decades later, it loses none of its sobering philosophical inquiry.

Soul (2020)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2020, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • 6 Comments

It doesnโ€™t always cohere with a creative concept that sometimes overreaches, but this is Pixar at its most existential, exploring the meaning of life at the crossroads of passion, purpose and living.
