Lush and beautifully realized alien landscapes play backdrop to a story with all the complexity and nuance of Ferngully, at more than twice the run time.
Mission Impossible: Fallout
The best action film I’ve seen in ages.
Kong: Skull Island
In short, a bombastic, over-the-top, slightly stupid, franchise creature feature.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Part road trip movie, part heist movie, all pretty underwhelming.
Goldfinger
The most iconic and influential of the Connery era Bond movies, in ways both good and bad.
Gunpowder Milkshake
Not just disappointingly derivative and unnecessarily gory, but also poorly written and haphazardly executed.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
This television adaptation is stylish as hell, but offers little more to justify its existence.
Safety Last!
For my money, maybe the best silent comedy of all time.
The Way of the Dragon
This dated action classic offers little to the delight the modern viewer.
Greyhound
This excellent naval thriller skimps on frills and is all the better for it.
Police Story
An almost unbelievable amount of career defining action more than compensates for the flimsy story and hit or miss comedy.
Hard Boiled
Style over substance, but a treat for any aficionado of gunfights in action films.
