Little Amélie or the Character of Rain
(2025)
|
Jordan King
|
A beautifully hand-crafted love letter to childhood, self-discovery, and the life-changing power of really good chocolate, Little Amélie is 78 minutes of pure animated joy that welcomes one and all.

Muppet Treasure Island
(1996)
|
Caroline Westbrook
|
It's business as usual for The Muppets -- although the satirical edge that characterised the original TV show is sadly lacking -- with impressive sets (especially the pirate ship) and more than enough jokes to please all age ranges.

Bride of Re-Animator
(1990)

William Thomas

A curiously under-the-top picture, then, where monsters blunder about aimlessly and mad scientists exchange overheated dialogue in a manner we know all too well.

There’s a pleasure to seeing such a starry cast in a slick cinematic thriller. But beyond that, Crime 101 offers little to remember after the closing credits.
