    Martha Marcy May Marlene Brilliantly eery film. I really liked the way the present day scenes are just as nervy and uneasy ass the flashback scenes, even though the flashback scenes ultimately show all the most shocking parts. The manner in which match cuts are used to go back and forth in time...

    Boyhood Knowing how effortlessly well Linklater does with stories chronicling characters lives, I had high hopes going into this film. For a 12 year long story not once does it lose track or become boring. Instead, it's hugely enjoyable from start to finish, with everyone putting in consistently...

    22 Jump Street Hilarious film. I was glad to see how self aware they were of doing a sequel, and the meta kind of humour worked so well. They didn't overdo it though, which was good. They managed to find a good balance to appeal to those who just want the straight forward jokes and action that...

    Before Midnight As a big fan other the other two I was pretty let down by this one. There's still a good bit to like about, the undertone is still pretty strong and Hawk and Deply put on great performances, but with the type of film that it is, when you don't like 1 or 2 scenes you're pretty...

    The Raid 2 Really fun sequel. Not as good as the first film, which really shone due to its simplicity story-wise, but there's still so much to like about this one. The fight scenes are all incredibly well done, especially those in the last 30 minutes of the film which are are just blistering to...

    12 Years a Slave So yeah, this was pretty amazing. Steve McQueen was kind of perfect for this film - his use of long shots and just all round creativity fitted in extremely well with the story. They find a perfect balance of not going overboard with the gruesome violence, but not shying away...

    Don Jon Excellent film. It was really one of the most anticipated films of the year for me and in the end it even exceeded my expectations. Extremely well written, and fantastic casting with Tony Danza and Julianne Moore putting on very good performances. Also, a great directorial debut for...

    Spring Breakers Really didn't expect this film to be the way it was, was definitely marketed differently when it came out. It's a film that could have been a lot better, but there was just too much wrong with it for me. The symbolism they try to get across feels a bit too forced at times, while...

    Elysium Always going to get comparisons to District 9 but I still think there was a lot differences between the two. It's hard to come across good Sci Fi these days but this one just did it for me. It had an engaging story, good action sequences, and great stuff from Sharlto Copley as well...

    Only God Forgives Loved it. People will complain about the lack of dialogue from Gosling, but he portrayed a guy who's been shattered and scarred by his family perfectly. They'll complain about the amount of violence, but I feel the content wasn't as graphic as people are making out. The bits...

    The World's End Pretty much what I expected from Pegg and Wright. A group of people located in a small, rural town get overrun by the not as normal as you think local's around them. The formula does work for them though, and as a big fan of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz I thought this was a...

    This is the End A real hit and miss film for me. Some very funny moments throughout, other moments fell completely flat for me. The whole "they're not what you think!" schtick wore a little tin at times, even though I thought Jonah Hill was the best part of the film. The weakest part about the...

    Liberal Arts Really enjoyable film, I didn't know Josh Radnor had this much talent in him. The writing gets a little bit off track in parts, with some even being a bit too artsy for its own good, but overall this is a really well written film that kept me engaged from start to finish. The...

    Mud Don't listen to Keith, it's all lies! Seriously, I really enjoyed this film. I haven't seen anything from Nichols before (although I heard great things about take Shelter), but if this is his weakest film then I'd really like to see his other work. The story is engaging, and Michael...

    Iron Man 3 Enjoyable film. I don't know how much better this is than the second film, but judging from what I've seen from the first one Shane Black does a good job of staying true to the franchise. He kept it humour heavy, action packed, and gave Downey Jr. a lot of time outside the suit, which...

    I'd say it's worth watching, especially if you're a Boyle fan. Just don't set your expectations too high for it, because it certainly isn't his best work.

    Trance I really enjoy Danny Boyle's work, and this film has everything you'd expect from him really. Unique shots, great cinematography, techno heavy soundtrack, it's all here. My only real problem with this film is that it gets a bit too tangled for its own good. The film takes so many twists...

    Good Will Hunting How the hell did Affleck and Damon write this film? It's absolutely fantastic. The script has so many memorable and heartfelt scenes, with the cast (especially Damon and Williams) doing an excellent job with each one of them. The film is also directed extremely well. For a film...

    Mama Scariest film I've seen in a very long time. The set-up is very good, with the two girls and Jessica Chastain putting in some pretty good performances. The ghost itself is also very well presented, even though they probably show a bit too much of her as the film goes on. Also, the story...

    Shame Brilliant film. This is the first film I've seen from Steve McQueen (which isn't surprising considering this is only his second film), and I have to say I really liked what I saw. The way he manages to capture an entire scene in one shot without it becoming boring is a testament to how...
