The second act of Liar Liar features a maestro at the peak of his powers. What's wrapped around either side of this inspired spell is less remarkable, but for a good 45 minutes, Carrey and the concept put on an electric ballet of physical comedy. A solid 90s' favourite [B].

In the Lost Lands 2025
Inexplicably plotted fantasy pablum, with zero intention or craft in the character beats.

Phenomenal creature design, cinematography and a screenplay that works as beguiling ethereal fantasy entertainment and an incisive commentary on the horrors of war. Sensational. If you haven't yet seen it, I urge you to rectify this gaping chasm in your viewing history.
