Capsules Archive

Capsule reviews, mostly one paragraph in length (longer entries marked #) and mostly posted elsewhere between 2005 and 2011 (marked *).

Please note: the vast majority of these capsules were posted to message forums hosted by Proboards, whose recent software update has destroyed the hyperlinks to specific forum posts. A lot of the time, you'll have to scroll to find the capsule in question. My moniker on such sites is 'Capo' or 'MP'.

NB: Double entries are included to record shifts in opinion. In the case of foreign-language films, English titles are used unless the original is in common use. Shorts are italicised.
