Nice sequel, more of the same comedy. The kid and animals are amazing.

Wonder Boys (2000)

Reviewed on Aug 27, 2006

A light dark comedy. Tobey’s interesting as a brooding genius. Douglas has always had a way with words and has always been a master of deadpan.

The Island (2005)

A remake of Logan’s Run, and Bay does a pretty good job. Clever and nicely shot, with interesting coloring reminiscent of THX-1138. MacGregor pulls off the American pretty well, and the shots of him with himself are well-done (although it would have been cool if they had switched up his…
