Hellboy (2004)
Action thriller that takes it to the Nazis the way Indy would approve of
Jason and the Argonauts
Fun mythological romp with outstanding Ray Harryhausen effects
The Road to El Dorado
Lively animation that hearkens back to the Hope/Crosby Road movies
Gallipoli
An ode to the sacrifices of innocence that wars demand
Titan A.E.
Another Don Bluth film that engages the viewer’s sense of wonder
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Rushed climax to an under-thought-out saga
Jumanji: The Next Level
Video game-like film that doesn’t take itself too seriously and is fun…like bubblegum, really
Galaxy Quest
One of the better Star Trek films ever made
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island
Goofy and genuinely spooky in equal measure
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
An end (and another end and another end) to an action-packed and emotionally satisfying saga
