LORD OF ILLUSIONS [1995]

Clive Barker directs his own film adaptation of his Books Of Blood short story "The Last Illusion", fleshes it out and re-titles it Lord Of Illusions.
Barker cleverly combines Hollywood noir with dark fantasy but sadly it never really becomes much more than that.  The acting is boring, the plot is unfocused and the characters are pretty much paper thin.  Another Books Of Blood misfire.
Oh well.

THE CAPTAINS [2011]

This entertaining documentary (written and directed by Captain Kirk himself) follows Billy Shatner around the world as he intimately interviews all the different actors who sat in the captain's seat of each installment of the Star Trek franchise.
It's hilarious at times, while still managing to be engaging, touching and insightful as we learn a little more of the pressures and delights of portraying a Trek captain. It might be a little bit of a vanity project for Shatner's ego but it doesn't matter...he is The Shat and that's that.
The Captains may not be for everyone but a must-see for Trek fans.
