David Thewlis
Basic (2003)
Gangster No. 1 (2002)
Timeline (2003)
Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
A confused and confusing compromise at best and a dull obfuscation of history at worst.
The Omen (2006)
If you've never seen
The Omen
, the technically well-made remake is an effective chiller a cut above today's standard, but if you have, there's no reason to watch this rote replay.
The Kingdom (2007)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part I (2010)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011)
Thematically, like any good myth, the Harry Potter story comes full circle, with a heroic homecoming and the promise of more adventures, if only in our imaginations.
Naked (1993)
Leigh's extensive use of improvisation in rehearsal led to a razor-sharp final script, endlessly blooming with memorable dialogue that—while never less than credibly naturalistic—proves thematically fertile.
War Horse (2011)
'How Green Was My Valley, How Smart Was My Horse.'
Life Is Sweet (1990)
The Fifth Estate (2013)
Cumberbatch gives a commanding performance, but corrective rewrites to the worrying early drafts of the script obviously were too little, too late to do justice to the nuanced complexities of [Assange] and his revolution.
The Theory of Everything (2014)
With its equation tantalizingly out of reach, winds up being by the numbers.
Legend (2015)
Helgeland revels in the violence and depravity, setting a dubious tone that, in that final act, has as much of a struggle as Reggie in going straight.
Anomalisa (2015)
Yet another midlife-crisis white guy on the big screen...but it’s undeniably an artful rendering of the post-millennial man adrift, in search of any port than the one he’s made for himself.
Macbeth (2015)
Wonder Woman (2017)
A sturdy origin story, this education of Miss Diana Prince, establishing her as a compassionate badass who consistently proves her bravery, strength, and commitment to justice.
