Aug 15, 2010Teenage Nerd Romance/Gonzo Superheroics
An Edgar Wright directed comic-book adaptation made in a bewildering restless visual style that feels like two different films happening at once, one a sweet nerd romance and the other a completely gonzo superhero film

Sep 9, 2011Alien Invasion on a British Housing Estate
A refreshingly original film that transplants an alien invasion story to a modern British housing estate where a group of young hoodlums become the first line of defence against the invaders

Dec 20, 2011Animation/Comic-Book Character
Steven Spielberg makes a solid effort to bring Hergé's much loved comic-book character to life in this motion-capture animated effort. This plays free and easy with the original stories but generally gets the spirit of the comics right

Jul 27, 2013Tourists on a Killing Spree/Black Comedy
The third film from Ben Wheatley who here makes a black comedy about two tourists on a murder spree, eliminating those they don't like. A film that digs into British class and provincial small-mindedness with scabrous regard

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

Jul 18, 2015Marvel Comics Miniature Superhero
While there is little doubt that Edgar Wright would have made a much better film, this emerges with an engaging likeability. Less epic superheroics, this plays out more as a caper comedy where a good ensemble and comedic playing carry the show
