Howl’s Moving Castle film review

Miyazaki (Academy Award winner for Spirited Away) has delivered us another sophisticated and pleasantly whimsical animation. Although it is visually stunning, this is Miyazaki’s most complex fantasy to date, with straightforward narrative, and a multilayered approach that reflects the contradictions of real life. Here the master Japanese animator exerts a strong command over the story ….

Mission: Impossible II film review

Two reviews of the film. James Brundage, the exuberant fan: John Woo is back in the saddle again. After turning out useless Hollywood drivel from emigration up until Face/Off, enjoyable Hollywood drivel with Face/Off, and intelligent and enjoyable Canadian drivel in Once a Thief, John Woo has finally reestablished himself as a grandmaster of the ….

Mulan film review

In the rush to contrast the early-nineties Disney golden age (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King) with the current crop of underperformers (Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Home on the Range) that have resulted in Disney’s foolhardy decision to jettison hand-drawn animation, some pretty decent films have been lost in the shuffle. Disney’s Mulan, ….

Pirate’s of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Blu-ray set review

Disney’s top-grossing live action movie of all-time, featuring Johnny Depp’s lovable pirate-gone-through-detox, Captain Jack Sparrow (although, that may change as of this Memorial Day weekend), has been remastered for the ultra-glorious Blu-ray High Definition format. Now I was huge fan of the Pirate’s of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Standard DVD disc edition, when that ….

The Saint film review

Infused with a backstory to set up the past of its nameless hero (Val Kilmer) as something of a "rogue James Bond with a guilty conscience and a Volvo," The Saint is as improbable as it is entertaining. With a plot revolving around a successful cold fusion experiment developed by miniskirt-clad scientist Emma (Elizabeth Shue) ….
