High School Musical (2006)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Like most films aimed at teenage girls, Kenny Ortega and Peter Barsocchini's 'High School Musical,' catches a lot of flak, but, from 'West Side Story,' to 'Mamma Mia,' it's no less cheesy than most movie musicals when you think about... Read the full review »

Room (2015)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Lenny Abrahamson and Emma Donoghue's 'Room,' is a film of two halves; one an unbelievably tense tale of a kidnapped woman ("Ma") and her captive-born daughter, and the other a meditative character study about the pair reintegrating i... Read the full review »

Notorious (1946)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Alfred Hitchcock is the master of suspense because, rather than always keeping you guessing, his films very deliberately and sadistically tease what's going to happen before the characters catch on. Being a less atmospheric film than... Read the full review »

Adoption (1975)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Márta Mészáros' 'Adoption,' is a film about women, whose opportunities are restricted by men, quietly taking a stand for themselves. We meet Young Anna (Gyöngyvér Vigh) and all the other girls at the care home she's at who have... Read the full review »

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Adapting longform novels into 2-hour movies can be a challenging directing exercise, as it generally involves chopping out a lot of unnecessary plot and world-building to get to the heart of the story. Lucy Alibar and Olivia Newman's... Read the full review »

Airplane! (1980)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: David and Jerry Ducker and Jim Abrahams' 'Airplane,' is structured as a spoof of typical disaster-movie 'Zero Hour,' as it crams a bunch of people onto a plane and has the pilot immobilised so that the central, ex-air force-hero on b... Read the full review »

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

5 / 10

Despite an interesting villain and some Waititi-style irreverent humour, the character drama in 'Thor: Love and Thunder,' is so lacklustre that the film ends up missing the heart it spends so much of its time supposedly riffing off. This, then, is... Read the full review »

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Unlike a certain recent multiverse movie, Daniel Kwan and Scheinert's 'Everything Everywhere All at Once,' masterfully uses its crazy alternate realities concept like Pixar used its taking toys - to test and explore a bunch of engagi... Read the full review »
