  Treasure Planet 2002

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  A visually stunning film, full of inventive machine and character designs that bring its worlds mix of past and future to life. While the occasional CGI effects can be distracting, the film largely succeeds in delivering a captivating aesthetic. Although Jim Hawkins' portrayal leans heavily into brooding teenage angst, the compelling voice performance of John Silver adds depth and warmth. A risky and mostly successful reimagining of a classic tale, that feels far removed from the usual Disney animated fare.

  On a rewatch I actually like this more, but I still think Andy would have wanted Sox.

  The Man Who Knew Too Much 1956

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 02 Oct 2015

  The dead man walking through a Marrakech market place is just one of many fantastic sequences, all beautifully framed, that make me love this suspense masterpiece. One of my favourite Hitchcock s, along with North by Northwest.

  Psycho II 1983

  ★★★ Watched 24 Oct 2020

  Nowhere near as great as the first obviously, but this is actually quite good and better than I expected. Anthony Perkins is excellent and really carries the film.
