The Deceivers (1988)
Jun 7, 2001Indian Thuggee Cults
Little seen Merchant Ivory film directed by Nicholas Meyer set during the British Raj in India with Pierce Brosnan as a British officer who goes undercover to investigate the Thuggee cults
The Lawnmower Man (1992)
Dec 3, 2000Virtual Reality/Enhanced Intelligence
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Stephen King story that was about a Pan-worshipping lawnmowing service and is a film about Virtual Reality and enhanced intelligence. Harnessing some top-drawer CGI effects of the day, this was highly influential on subsequent VR films
Live Wire (1992)
Apr 5, 1999Human Bombs Thriller
Thriller with Pierce Brosnan as a bomb disposal expert who comes up against terrorists who have invented an explosive that can be drunken in a glass of water
GoldenEye (1995)
Feb 1, 2001James Bond Film
The 17th James Bond film, the first featuring Pierce Brosnan who gives a dazzlingly ruthless performance. The series is rebooted and takes the opportunity to reconstruct the mythos in terms of modern politics in ways that often take you aback
Mars Attacks! (1996)
Mar 17, 2001Gonzo Alien Invasion
In this film based on the old Topps gum card series, Tim Burton makes an affectionately goofy tribute to 1950s alien invasion cinema
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Nov 19, 1999James Bond Film
Pierce Brosnan's second outing as James Bond holds up fairly well, especially in the action department, although Jonathan Pryce seems miscast as a Rupert Murdoch-modeled super-villain
Quest for Camelot (1998)
Jan 7, 2006Animation/Arthurian Fantasy
An Arthurian legends fantasy adventure made as part of the animation renaissance of the 1990s. Anything serious aspirations are wrecked by the insertion of inane popular culture in-jokes
The World is Not Enough (1999)
Nov 20, 1999James Bond Film
The third and best of Pierce Brosnan's outings as James Bond. All the aspects of the formula are contained within a strong plot and Sophie Marceau proves a standout in a role that combines both villain and love interest
Die Another Day (2002)
Jan 11, 2003James Bond Film
Pierce Brosnan's final outing as James Bond lacks the sharpness of the preceding entries and is hampered by Halle Berry who is given great presence but nothing to do. Despite which this has some of the best action scenes of any Bond film
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)
Feb 14, 2010Greek Myth in the Present Day
Chris Columbus seeks to emulate the success of the Harry Potter films with this adaptation of a Young Adult series about the children of Greek gods. The film falls apart due to Columbus's typical banal cues and effects overkill
Bag of Bones (2011)
Jan 20, 2012Stephen King Adaptation/Ghost Story
The perpetually terrible Mick Garris is allowed loose on another Stephen King book where he promptly reduces a subtle, ambiguous ghost story to a series of lunging pop-up scares without any concept of atmosphere or nuance
The World’s End (2013)
Aug 23, 2013Alien Body Snatchers Comedy
Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the trio behind Shaun of the Dead, return to conduct a very similar effort – the story of a pub crawl that is affectionately mocking the characters' nowhere lives, before taking an abrupt dogleg turn to become a comedic take on the alien body snatchers film
Urge (2016)
Dec 31, 2016Designer Drug Causes Mass Insanity
The use of a designer drug causes a small island to descend into mass insanity – this is essentially The Crazies repackaged as a slick empty-headed thriller for teen audiences. The various scenes of madness are frequently laughable and the film arrives at possibly the most ridiculous twist ending one has ever seen
Black Adam (2022)
Dec 3, 2022Superhero Film
An entry from the abortive attempt to create a DC Comics shared universe. Dwayne Johnson takes on the role of the DC's anti-hero in a film that is far more fun than the recent Marvel offerings
