Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1964, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrickโ€™s pitch-black Cold War comedy is absolute gold, intelligently poking fun at the sheer absurdity of nuclear war and rhetoric.ย

Counselor, The (2013)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2013, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

A didactic and dialogue-heavy thriller that is directed with confidence by Ridley Scott.ย

Prometheus (2012)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2012, Ridley Scott, USA
  • 8 Comments

Ridley Scott sets expectations too high in this generally solid sci-fi epic let down by an unfocused screenplay and suspect pacing.

Zodiac (2007)

  • Fincher, David
  • 2007, David Fincher, USA
  • 10 Comments

Hard to deny that this is Fincherโ€™s magnum opusโ€”this extraordinary crime procedural based on the unsolved Zodiac killings of the late 1960s is surely one of the most chillingly suspenseful films from the 2000s decade.

Bottle Rocket (1996)

  • Anderson, Wes, Criterion Collection
  • 1996, USA, Wes Anderson
  • 4 Comments

Wes Andersonโ€™s debut feature is so underrated itโ€™s actually one of his bestโ€”a raw, humorous and amiable journey with a trio of young men hoping to pull off robberies for a living.

Robin Hood (2010)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2010, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • 2 Comments

A “Gladiator-ised” Robin Hood without the right punch in this missed opportunity by Ridley Scott.

Othello (1952)

  • Criterion Collection, Welles, Orson
  • 1952, Orson Welles, USA

Shakespeare meets independent cinema of the highest order in Wellesโ€™ brilliant and vital take on the tragic story of the Moor of Venice.ย

Body of Lies (2008)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2008, Ridley Scott, USA
  • Leave a comment

An underrated thriller that benefits from strong performances by the lead cast and an outstanding score by Marc Streitenfeld.

Batman, The (2022)

  • Popular
  • 2022, Matt Reeves, USA
  • 2 Comments

Solid and immensely well-crafted if a little too plotty, this Batman channels the dark energy of serial killer, vengeance and torture porn films while, for better or worse, keeping a lid on its bold and perverse aspirations.

Love Affair (1939)

  • Criterion Collection, Others
  • 1939, Leo McCarey, USA
  • Leave a comment

A beloved Classical Hollywood tearjerker as love and fate intertwine in this melodrama directed with unassuming grace by Leo McCarey.
