  • Beauty and the Beast 2017

    Following all Disney properties, this is a completely safe film, all the rough edges sanded out, which turns a supposedly magical story into an anodyne cultural artefact. A mere husk, dead on the inside.

  • Ghost in the Shell 2017

    I though this was supposed to be an adaptation. Turns out to be a bog standard modern sci-fi blockbuster.

  • Life 2017

    It’s probably an homage, but the whole plot is like Salt, a script unearthed from the 1950’s filmed straight. A Scary Dogmatic Alien (the dogma is communism), played straight? Like a philosophical Alien, devoid of all the subtext that made it great. Cool effects though.
