    Re-watched in loving memory of Tony Todd.

    Yes, Todd was also known for many other roles. His cocky bouncer in Wishmaster, various appearances across the Star Trek universe and Final Destination films, a wonderfully inquisitive key part in The Man From Earth, impactful supporting roles in the likes of The Rock and The Crow, and so many cameos that lifted otherwise dud genre pics.

    ★★½

    A charming if unsophisticated superhero romance. There doesn't need to be high stakes but this doesn't really give you enough to root for.

    A technical, script and performance masterpiece. This one is going to stay in the memory forever. Graham, Walters, Doherty and newcomer Cooper are all exceptional. Often very difficult to watch but essential viewing. This should be prescribed to all parents.

    Still feels fresh. Laugh out loud funny, sends up the genre perfectly, and Cage is excellent.
