Spielberg trolls a generation. With Cline on board, they turn the book into Wreck It Ralph for older manchildren. Feels like The Matrix from the POV of Agent Smith. Should have guessed from the book’s ending.
-
Dadaist CGI cow roams an urban setting, like the subway, restaurants, offices. Cow-a-bunda!
-
Generic action film that happens to take some cues from the game, ignoring the Angelina Jolie continuity. No The Descent references, for shame.
-
From the director of In Bruges comes some fucking film about all the shit going down in America. A bunch of dipshits talking crap and fucking themselves up mutually.
-
Zombies, with human emotions. The opening scene stays with me forever.
-
300 ways of dying in the cradle of western civilisation in which more than 300 ships stop(?) an empire from raising. The title is just stupid. What empire has risen, Persia? Greece ends up united in defeat! Or do they mean the Gondor cavalry at the end actually made a difference? So confusing.
-
Meta film about a play that was to be adapted into film. Juliette Binoche plays almost herself, being tormented by her lack of youth, personified by Kristen Stewart and Chloë Grace Moretz.

Yo ho, a pirate’s life for me. Nothing says “Freedom!” like a PG-13 Disney movie based on ripping off old Treasure Island and Cutthroat Island.

Ok, looking with a bit more attention, the plot is not as silly as it seems, there’s plenty of justification for their actions. It still makes no damn sense, but at least the internal consistency is there. Doesn’t diminish the film a bit.
