    While We're Young (2015) 7.5/10 Latest from Noah Burmbach and it is definetly closer to the standard of the Squid and the Whale and his last film Frances Ha, than the dissapointments that were Greenberg and Margo at the Wedding. The casting was really good, and there are a number of funny, but...

    Birdman (2014) Very hit and miss. The first half of the film really bored me. It was self-indulgent and it felt like it was ripping off some of David Lynch's recent work like Inland Empire. The satire just didn't feel that original, something like Robert Altman The Player covered this much...

    Heathers (1988) A really dark, and sharper look at highschool life. Was also the first film to show class factions within the school (I know Breakfast Club did too, but not to the same extent). The performances are really good, and it kept me guessing til the end. Some bits have dated quite...

    Whiplash (2014) Really intense, and slightly darker mainstream drama. It is at times entertaining, but also very sad, with very powerful performances, and the music scenes really bring the film to life. At times the plot did feel a bit cliche and predictable, and I felt it dragged a bit at...

    An American Warewolf in London (1981) One of the best examples of an effective horror/comedy. The special effect make-up and creatures are wonderful. It has some cracking jokes and dialogue, and is actually scary when it needs to be. Very stylish cult fun. Beverly Hills Cop (1984) Still...

    Network (1976) One of the most radical and exciting media satires ever produced by Hollywood. The cast such as Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall are at the top of their games, and the writing is witty, insightful and shocking all in one, the direction is wonderful also. 9/10...

    Scream 2 (1997) Holds up as one of the better horror sequels. Unlike the first movie this more of a media satire (unlike a horror one), with some horror setpieces thrown in. They do a nice job of refreshing the original and there are some good character actors like Larrie Meltcafe and Leiv...

    Map to the Stars (2014) A return to form for one of favourite directors David Cronenberg, would say this was his best film in about ten years maybe longer. Its a savage satire on Hollywood, which goes to dark and disturbing places which these kinds of films rarely do, and it feels very modern...

    They just didn't do enough to add to the plot or characters from the last film IMO. It just felt a bit flat really.

    Dolores Claiborne (1995) Top three of the Stephen King adaptations. Great performances, well crafted plot, creepy atmosphere, and distinctive colour scheme. 8/10

    Female Agents (2008) Was expecting a slick thriller with star power, but not much depth from this true life story of undercover French agents involved in a plot against the Nazis during the war. But it was more of a gritty thriller, with believable characters, some disturbing moments, and...

    Lucy (2014) Johalsson is a very good lead in this slick, and a effect action Sci-Fi from nutty Luc Bession his best in a while. Visually it was fun, the setpieces were good, but I did switch off everytime Morgan Freeman appeared doing one of his worthy speeches. The ending was a bit naff...

    Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Die For (2014) Was a big fan of the first film, but this was a big let down. The story and characters just weren't as strong or interesting, and it never had the same darkness or satire. Plus JGL was a bit bland in it, and unlike the first film it did feel...

    Freeway (1996) Early role for Reese Witherspoon in this violent, surreal cult film. She really gives it all she has, she is very raw in the part. The film is perfect cult viewing, it has a trashy, off-kilter feel to the visuals, but it also has a twisted edge, and a sharply black sense of...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Really fast paced and slick comic film, which was a refreshing change of pace from the recent offerings. It is made by someone who understands the inner workings of the genre, and the knowing script is very funny with some brilliant one liners and gags. Chris...

    Am in full agreement with you guys on 3D. Apart from the odd the movie it really doesn't add anything, and can even cheapen the experience. Luckily I will be seeing GOTG in 2D.

    Am seeing this tomorrow, and very much looking forward to it because of the director based on the cast, trailers/reviews and because Gunn has impressed me so far and should bring something different to it.

    Malice (1994) Dramatic Hitchcockian thriller, with a lively script co-written by Arron Sorkin. Alec Baldwin gets most the best lines, and is perfectly cast as the slick, but slimey doctor who is at the heart of a conflict involving a young couple. There are some nice twists, even if the use...

    The Final Rites (2011) From the writer of Point Break, and starring the likes of Stephen Dorf, Wes Bentley and a wickedly over the top Christian Slater, sadly the rest of the main cast are made up of really bland, pretty faces, not than that matters, as its a real ham feast, with a so silly...

    Boyhood (2014) A really engrossing, and charming film, with some funny moments, but also a darkness which is really nicely played and all the more powerful for how it builds under the serface. The parents are flawed characters and yet at different times seem to really be doing their best under...
