Jan 4, 2001Desert Island Survival/Giant Animals
Amid the fad for Jules Verne adaptations of the 1950s/60s, we had this version of Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea sequel, albeit where Verne’s desert island story is pumped up with the addition of giant-size Ray Harryhausen animals and insects

Rating: ★★★
Jun 7, 2000Clairvoyance/Stephen King Adaptation
David Cronenberg adapts a Stephen King novel with Christopher Walken waking from a coma with clairvoyant abilities. An okay film if one that lacks the personal intensity and rich themes of Cronenberg's original works
