Though this incarnation of the caped crusader treads familiar thematic ground, it has both the style and the substance of a neo-noir crime movie. That makes it a smart and fresh cinematic take on this world and its characters which arguably achiev... Read the full review »

A film about someone's descent into madness and violence can be a very difficult thing to get right. On the one hand the script must strike a balance between having sympathy for the individual in question whilst objectively illustrating the proble... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Gothic sets and costumed caricatures? You could argue that Tim Burton and Batman were born to be together, and in some ways, his 1989 movie is proof of that. Thanks to the production design alone, the streets of Gotham look tangibly... Read the full review »

Barneyonmovies rated and reviewed a movie.

WHAT I LIKED: Comedy sequels often fall into the trap of repeating themselves, and 'The Hangover Part II,' does that more explicitly than most with its near-identical story. That does mean of course that it packs the same appeal all over again, so... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: You know exactly what you're getting with Kenneth Branagh's 'Death on the Nile.' Just like its predecessor, it's an utterly star-studded murder mystery - complete with lavish location, beautiful costumes, absurd accents, and, most cr... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Jane Campion's 'The Piano,' is a masterclass in the female gaze, as it's not only a film where every frame of every scene is devoted to showing the small, emotional sensitivities and complexities of characters and their relationships... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: If I had to choose a favourite film genre, I'd probably go with man-vs-nature. There's just something about isolating a person on the edge of survival that gets them - and us by extension - to not consider our own human nature, but a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Kenneth Branagh's 'Belfast,' is a semi-autobiographical year-in-the-life story of 9-year-old Buddy (Jude Hill) in Troubles-stricken 1960s Belfast. Ultimately though, it ends up a film about what it means to be home regardless of when... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Stories about characters pursuing or giving up on their dreams are always compelling, and Richard Linklater's 'School of Rock,' is no exception. Dewey (Jack Black) starts out as a failing rock and roll star, living on the floor of hi... Read the full review »
