The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Yellow Submarine

Based on the song of the same name, Yellow Submarine (1968) was not a film that the Beatles were keen on making. They were unhappy with how Help! (1965) had turned out as well as their self-produced television special Magical Mystery Tour (1967). However,... 

Season of the Witch

Season of the Witch (2011) saw Nicolas Cage reunited with director Dominic Sena who he had previous collaborated with on the commercial hit, Gone in 60 Seconds (2000). Both men were hoping lightning would strike twice with this period action fantasy film...
