Reviews Featuring Michael Sheen
A story that shows there can be so much more to life!
Some people will think that a film about vampires and werewolves is inherently silly, and should be watched only for its visceral thrills (which 'Underworld' certainly has). Yet at a time when mainstream American discourse would have us believe that in war everything is black and white, 'Underworld' represents an important voice of reasoned dissent in its suggestion that war is in fact a morally messy business, with complicated and often misunderstood causes - which makes 'Underworld' not just a kick-ass monster free-for-all, but also a vampire film with unexpectedly political bite.
'Bright Young Things' is a riotously entertaining portrait of parasitic, feckless abandon in the late 1930s. A delicious, delirious dance through a time of serious change.
Quite possibly the least inventive time travel flick of all time. Timewaste would have been a far more appropriate title.
A promising concept squandered by bad writing and lacklustre direction - its events, whether set in the 14th Century or in the present day, are an unengaging waste of time.
The Belgium of comedies not so much dislikeable as just plain boring.
A powerful spiritualist epic that beats 'Gladiator' hands down in the Colosseum of ideas.
The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse
These grotesque characters in search of their authors conjure up something diabolically smart, surreally funny, and uniquely British.
A film that once again shows that history will always repeat itself, this character-driven true story brings authenticity and suspense to a page of American history.
Tim Burton's rehash boasts a cast that lives up to its billing, a lavishly recreated Wonderland and lovely flashes of humour, it's just a shame that Alice in Wonderland is a little formulaic in the end.
A total victory of style over substance from first time Director Joseph Kosinski that's really awe-inspiring big screen fun. There's plenty to criticise but just enjoy the ride.
An African adventure with a heart and a questionable accent. Definitely, more fun and less depressing than watching an informercial, bru.
A unique romance from Woody Allen that's fairly entertaining but slightly muted. If only he didn't make it look so much like he wants to have sexual relations with the city of Paris.
Would have been one of the better football dramas (facing stiff competition from practically none) had it not been based on a vastly superior book. This football love-in really needs a darker edge to make it more The Wrestler than Escape to Victory.
