How Animals Eat Their Food?
This light-hearted, sarcastic series only gets better with each iteration. "How Animals Eat Their Food" contrasts whacky charades with deadpan salad eating. Through hours of meticulous research, the team at MEM has crafted this documentary of earthly delights. Now, let us be mesmerized by the wonders of the animal kingdom...

A Series of Unfortunate Events
As the title says- unfortunate events never cease. The book (and movie) begins with a chilling yet memorable opening line, cautioning not to expect a happy ending. The audience experiences hopelessness alongside the protagonists as the story hits hardship after hardship.

"Our Eyes Will Be On Coraline"
An eerie tale with an uncertain outcome. She's a child bored out of her mind in a new home, lacking her parents' attention. Relatable. Unfortunately for her, she gains her "Other Mother's" attention instead.

Big Trouble in Little China - One Supernatural Adventure
Big Trouble in Little China is an exhilarating action and cult classic from the 1980s. Kurt Russell's foolish protagonist gives the paranormal quest a humorous edge. The film's unique spectacle is created by the combination of magic, martial arts, and outrageous villains. Take a wild trip through this fantasy journey.

The Calvin Stickers
Let the grifters grift. It’s their only gift. You work hard on your craft. You spend hours on your craft. Just for someone to drop a link. Or worse, they drop something unrelated. It stinks. Maybe Bill Watterson was right, when he chose to ignore the sticker grifters. We’ll see.

You're Not Lookin' At The Big Picture, Stan
Swordfish was and is a treasure, and if you think the bar is low, consider I first saw John Travolta in Look Whose Talkin'.

Men in Black
Men in Black is a shallow, soulless spectacle, mistaking CGI aliens and quirky gadgets for substance. Smith and Jones' chemistry can't mask the film's vacuous core. It's a hollow parade of special effects, wasting a glaring opportunity to explore the real existential dread of a universe teeming with unknown life.

Come Live with Me
Awesome alluring title! Unfortunately, the black-and-white classic movie missed the heart. Starring James Stewart and Hedy Lamarr, the bizarre love triangle between a struggling writer, an entertainer who is about to be deported, and a book publisher was bland and unromantic. The forties film should have been called "Without Love."

Harry Potter (Critique)
This series inspired and defined an entire generation, and galvanised them to read. It's spawned movies, video-games and theme parks. The titular character is similar to Gaiman's Timothy Hunter, but the story is well-plotted and resonates deeply.

From a Dog's Perspective
A movie so dry it must be watched twice, you will definitely fall asleep the first time. If anyone could stay awake long enough to remember what happened this surely would become a cinematic masterpiece. Simultaneously laughable, forgettable and deliciously bland this is the greatest movie I can't remember seeing!
