Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, or, as I like to call it: Tom Cruise and the Elusive Maguffin, because that’s basically what they all boil down to. This one is no different. Which is a good thing. If it ain’t broke, don’t try and fix it.

Pretty Red Dress
I try to go to the cinema regularly. I am unlikely to chose a summer blockbuster, or anything designed to scare. I like character studies and close-ups more than special effects. I like relationships under a microscope.

The Little Mermaid - Review
Honestly, I didn't like it much. Mind you, I wasn't all that sold on the animated version, either, and this movie was (to its credit?) fairly faithful to it. I was hoping it wouldn't be. Is that weird?
