Fargo (1996)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: There are a simple set of ingredients that generally make films work - tantalising atmosphere, emotionally-engaging character arcs, thought-provoking themes - but these are things that the Coen Brothers have never been particularly i... Read the full review »

See How They Run (2022)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: There's a technique in comedy called "telegraphing the punchline," where the audience enjoy the journey to an obvious and inevitable end. That's pretty much the narrative formula of most movies, but few draw attention to and revel in... Read the full review »

Hugo (2011)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Though no surprise considering the obvious shared influences, whenever I watch 'Hugo,' I'm convinced that Tim Burton just decided he'd act under the sudonym of Martin Scorsese so that someone else would have to do the press tour. Fo... Read the full review »

Nope (2022)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Much like his previous film 'Us,' Jordan Peele's' 'Nope,' is a film that starts by tentatively building a bunch of mysteries, only to quickly reveal itself into a fight against a ridiculous, unimaginable horror. Here the story surro... Read the full review »

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Like any great spoof or satire, 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,' turns up the dials and exposes all the stupidity in whatever thing it's riffing on. Here the thing in question is of course the Bond series, so what we ge... Read the full review »

Someone to Watch Over Me (1987)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'Someone to Watch Over Me,' is about a married cop called Mike (Tom Berenger) who's assigned to protect a Manhattan socialite (Mimi Rogers) and starts to fall in love with her. It's all delivered very well; their chemistry is tenderl... Read the full review »

Freaky Friday (2003)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: "High concept," movies tend to work best when they use their idea to go below the surface and test characters or themes in innovative ways. Mark Waters' 'Freaky Friday,' does just that, as it body-swaps a conflicting mother (Jamie Le... Read the full review »

High School Musical 2 (2007)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Surprisingly enough, with a story about balancing your aspirations with your values and relationships as you grow up, the team behind the first movie found a new message to base 'High School Musical 2' around. That results in some ne... Read the full review »
