Bo Burnham: Words, Words, Words!

Not much more than the CD, but well worth a watch if you love musical comedy.

Song of the Sea

Beautifully drawn, animated, composed, directed and crafted with a whole bucket-load of heart. Watch this film!

Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm

Enjoyable, archaic superhero fare that unfortunately pales in comparison to more modern outings.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part I

A gritty, brooding, ageing Batman who doesn't roll his punches, resulting in an impactful tale with some interesting analysis on whether Bruce has done more harm than good, in the long run.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One

A decent bridge film with some very powerful moments that does suffer from having to focus on the less interesting story arcs of the book.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Unfortunately focuses on budding love interests rather than the real stories at the heart of the plot and the parallels of Snape, Dumbledore, Draco and Harry. Very much a setup movie for the big finalΓ©.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The worst adaptation in the franchise. Not terrible, but the scriptwriters clearly forgot to check that what they had left actually worked once they got it to fit within the timeframe of a movie.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Turns out, this is my favourite. A dark yet relatable plot, with a strangely realistic vision of evil in Umbridge, make for some very interesting social commentary and a much deeper, more personal experience. Harry Potter grows up!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Still the best-directed film of the series, with some truly stunning cinematography and thematic linkages, but the plot feels a little less well put together than I had remembered.
