-   The 2002 remake (original is here). Po-faced ultra-violent silliness. It’s not even a metaphor for NFL, however thinly veiled. The audience uses vuvuzelas, GTFO. 
-   Basically a series of sketches with a larger budget. Curious, most of them involve Woody Allen playing himself fondling woman’s breasts… 
-   Just like The Dark Tower, this seems like a peek into an entire universe, ending on a cliffhanger. It seems the epic sci-fi standalone story is a thing of the past now, it’s all vignettes now. 
-   A faithful adaptation of the seminal XIX century story, but poor in production values and plot. The important plot beats are presented in a matter-of-fact way, for such emotionally powerful moments. 
-   Just another Mulholland Drive with extra twists and less budget. Mackenzie Davis can’t make omelettes without eggs. 
-   Who would have thought, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a mere variation on this epic tale of piracy. 
-   Ace cast with an inspired script and visually gorgeous. 
-   Daddy Issues: The Film. Should have been directed by Spielberg.
