A fresh and inventive superhero satire that provides spot on humour, involving characters and a rousing soundtrack to a world (okay, maybe just me) tiring of a saturated comic book genre.
Fantasy
Alice in Wonderland
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.
Solomon Kane
To be taken with a large pinch of salt, Solomon Kane is a generally enjoyable yet ultimately flawed fantasy adventure.
Daybreakers
The attention to detail and relative originality of Daybreakers threatens to lift it above the usual Vampire fare but it’s let down in the end by poor storytelling and an unrelenting grimness.
Avatar
James Cameron uses the full capabilities of CGI to create a truly beautiful film that is sure to be one of the Noughties’ most definitive movies.
The Wizard of Oz
Perhaps the most instantly recognizable film of all times, and unquestionably one of the best, The Wizard of Oz still offers something new every time.
