Original concept
A true twist on a classic!
Contains spoilers, click to show
A fantastic original concept created using a classic well loved Disney character Mulan.
Title is clever, referring to character growth throughout Mulans journey and a part of the book where she must face the chamber of mirrors in order to complete her challenge and save Shang from moving on before he is ready.
This original concept fits well with character which is not easy to do when using characters who are household names and often remind us of our childhood watching Disney classics but it is a risk that has played off.
There is little to critique but I do however believe that there should have been a chapter written exploring Mulan returning home to her family after the war, seeing if she was correct in the chamber of mirrors about her father and mothers reactions to her running off to war as this could differ greatly from the classic plot, I personally would have loved to see grandmother Fa's reaction to Mulans trip to the underworld or at the very least mushu's reaction- as this would have extended the plot leaving a more well rounded ending.

Dark ominous noir
Contains spoilers, click to show
Scorsese does a masterful job of updating a classic here. It was great he used both Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck again in this version.
The tension between Nolte and Lange is palpable especially as Max Cady continues to invest himself in his revenge.
The ending is a little drawn out and far-fetched, but highly recommended.

Gruesome, grisly, Gothic horror
There is no true horror than the horror humans create themselves. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a classic tale of hubris and vanity, and the sins that associate themselves with such. Oscar Wilde's macabre style is fascinating for its time, and the idea that the painting is a representation of his Gray's own soul is intelligent.

Dec 6, 2017 (Updated Dec 6, 2017)
The 1st of Stephen King's books to be made into a movie and I would consider one of his best.
I particularly like the music in the movie, the way that it is both menacing and shows Carrie's innocence.
Also a cracking ending which has been copied many times but never bettered.

Christoph Waltz
Good Sfx on the whole
A decent update of a classic story
A decent update of the Tarzan story. An impressive cast including Margot Robbie but it's Christoph Waltz who steals the show. Some big action scenes are good but on the whole it's rather predictable and some scenes are a bit silly.

Comedy classic
One of my favourite Eddie Murphy comedies. He is a down and out who gets to trade places with a rich yuppie in a big firm in order to prove a bet. Very funny scenes as the two switch places. Still one of my favourite comedies to date. If you missed it give it a whirl.
