Robot & Frank (2012)


An ex-jewel thief receives a gift from his son: a robot butler programmed to look after him. But soon the two companions try their luck as a heist team.

Amiable sci-fi tale, very touchingly told with subdued humour.

Maltin***: "Quirky, low-key social satire with a sci-fi touch..."

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)



Bilbo and Company are forced to engage in a war against an array of combatants and keep the Lonely Mountain from falling into the hands of a rising darkness.

Despite the usual excellence in production this is a confusing and unexciting finale disappointedly inferior to the previous parts of the trilogy.

Fiend Without a Face (1958)


Invisible atomic monsters attack a U.S. Armed Forces base and the local residents.
