‘Tuck Everlasting’ (2002) an ageless children’s classic
‘He’s All That’ a cute modern riff on the old story
Movie review: This gender-swapped reimagining of “She’s All That” is not a straight-up replay. Still, it’s less substantial than the original.
‘September’ (1987) digs into the change of life’s seasons
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): Allen improves on “Interiors” with a short but deep film about six adults entangled in family and romance dramas.
‘Candyman’ saga spoils with ‘Day of the Dead’ (1999)
Summoning ‘Candyman’ (Movie review): Again, Candyman torments someone into joining him in the afterlife. It was better the previous two times.
‘Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh’ (1995) covers old ground
Summoning ‘Candyman’ (Movie review): The second “Candyman” is a remake as much as a sequel. But it maintains a decent level of technical quality.
‘Candyman’ (1992) makes beautiful art out of hopelessness
Summoning ‘Candyman’ (Movie review): Like “Hellraiser,” this Clive Barker-produced urban-horror project is driven by its artistry. Here, the score by Philip Glass stands out.
‘Congo’ (1995) taps into old-fashioned adventure
Michael Crichton Monday (Movie review): It falls short of the novel, but this adaptation succeeds as a rollicking – if corny – old-fashioned adventure.
‘Reminiscence’ unspools noir plot against cli-fi backdrop
Movie review: The waterlogged future is gorgeous to look at, but the plot is rather standard for a film that seems to promise so much more.
‘Cursed’ (2005) a mildly amusing werewolf yarn
Frightening Friday (Movie review): The only non-“Scream” collaboration between Williamson and Craven has a cast of stars, but also a messy werewolf mythology.
‘Speed Racer’ (2008) a downshift for Wachowskis
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): “Speed Racer” is fun and has a mature plot, but it’s odd that the race scenes are so blatantly artificial.
