Tarzan The Ape Man 3.5/5

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Mark

This is a pretty action packed movie once we get to the half hour mark. That’s when we first encounter Tarzan. We see Tarzan swim faster than crocodiles, outrun hungry lions, fight leopards, gorillas and tribesmen, and he sure is … Continue reading →

Treasure Planet 2.5/5

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Mark

A middling Disney effort, with some effective, if maybe a little jarring, mixing of traditional animation and CGI. It’s too long (15 less would have been better), but the main characters are well developed and charming, there’s some fun stuff … Continue reading →

Thor The Dark World 3/5

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Mark

A decent sequel to the impressive first one…and I say impressive, because it really shouldn’t have worked, Thor as a comic book character works, but I just couldn’t see how it could possibly work at a serious level when put … Continue reading →

Transylvania 6-5000 1/5

Posted on February 25, 2014 by Mark

Pretty bad comedy that has the writing to blame. The talent is here: Jeff Goldblum, Ed Begley Jr, Carol Kane, John Byner, that guy from Seinfeld, but the actual jokes fall flat. As the film proceeds, you get a whiff … Continue reading →

Movie: 28 Days Later – Fast zombies, excellent first half, not great second half 6.5/10

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Mark

28 Days Later The whole premise of this film can be summed up in two words: Running Zombies. That’s not to denigrate this cool B-movie with A-movie ambitions, but that’s what it is. And it’s a great premise, even if … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2011 by Mark

This Gun for Hire (1942) Containing Alan Ladd’s first starring role as a stone-cold killer, this is an excellent, though twisty (and rather contrived) plotted piece apparently based on a story by Graham Greene. Ladd is magnificent here as Raven, … Continue reading →
