J.J. Abrams revives the Star Trek franchise by recasting it with younger faces and rewriting continuity. But in the appeal to a hipper, sexier vibe, it feels a long way from Gene Roddenberry’s creation – nowhere in evidence is the original's concern with galactic politics and social issues of the day

I had mixed feelings about J.J. Abrams' reboot of Star Trek This time around the actors seem more at home in the characters and the plot works a good deal better (for the most part), while Abrams creates a hurtling effects spectacle that is the most action-oriented of the Trek films

Jun 22, 2013Zombie Apocalypse
I went into this wondering what new things it could find to do with such an overworked genre as the zombie apocalypse but ended up gently surprised. Not a film that reinvents the wheel for the zombie genre but spins the basics out into a tight, exciting, international locale hopping survival story

May 23, 2015The Fight to Create a Utopian Future
Despite being another film based on a Disney theme park, I had high expectations of this because of Brad Bird. Alas, the initial promise of a retro-sf work that mainlined the wonderment of Jetsons-styled futurism turns into a surprisingly glum and message-heavy work about how the modern world is a depressing place

The Hunt (2020)
Rating: ★★★
Mar 27, 2020Human Bloodsports/Liberals Hunt Conservatives
Controversy-laden film that involves a variant on human bloodsports plot of The Most Dangerous Game but where liberals hunt conservatives. A film with a darkly satiric bite that sets out to offend people on either side of the political fence
