A cold biopic that doesn’t hold up now that its subject matter has left the spotlight.
Despite a couple of uneven parts that may try the patience of some, the whole of Fantasia is a marvel.
Although magnificent and filled with imagination, Fantasia 2000 doesn’t hold up as being particularly ground-breaking or innovative.
So awful it hits the bottom of the bad-o-meter and bounces back up to be sort of good. I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. Of course it was in all the wrong spots and mixed with an underlying groan.

A film with lots of great ideas yet none of them come to fruition.
An exceptionally well-written, well-acted and well-directed thriller that extends beyond the boundaries mainstream films typically set.
While it certainly is a couple of notches below its action classic original, French Connection II is still a darned good action film that maintains the core of its central character and has some added layers that are genuinely disturbing.
Grounded in a gritty reality – and shot as such – it’s still an action classic today that offers adrenaline-fueled pacing without insulting one’s intelligence.
Despite some memorable musical numbers, gorgeous sets and energy galore, there’s something about Funny Face that wasn’t working for me, and it wasn’t just the absurd idea about Audrey Hepburn being a frumpy bore.
