| 70 56% | Ant-Man (2015) - Rated 03 Jan 2016
"Ant-Man charms the audience into forgetting the depressing fact that the real universe will end before the Marvel one does."
|
| 60 42% | Monsters University (2013) - Rated 02 Jan 2016
"Monsters University doesn't shoot as high as the original, and it doesn't get close to Pixar's best, but it's a funny and warm film. There are worse ways to spend 90 minutes than with Mike and Sulley."
|
| 40 18% | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) - Rated 02 Jan 2016
"This is a weak step forward for the franchise, and probably the film no-one remembers or discusses much at all."
|
| 50 29% | Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) - Rated 01 Jan 2016 |
| 70 56% | Iron Man (2008) - Rated 28 Dec 2015
"There are more holes in the plot than Swiss cheese, but this is still the spectacular, entertaining romp it was when it first came out."
|
| 70 56% | Bad Santa (2003) - Rated 27 Dec 2015
"Not a great film by any means but Bad Santa never fails to strike a chord with me. Your mileage may vary."
|
| 100 95% | Die Hard (1988) - Rated 21 Dec 2015
"It's not easy to take a simple idea and execute it well, but Die Hard shows that with carefully orchestrated action scenes and slick screen writing one can achieve greatness without having to stray from a central story. Makes a very difficult job look easy."
|
| 90 87% | Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) - Rated 20 Dec 2015
"The Force Awakens stands as proof that Hollywood still has some of the old crowd-pleasing magic left in it, even as it drowns in a slew of bland super heros."
|
| 80 75% | The Raid 2 (2014) - Rated 16 Dec 2015
"The Raid 2 is a slow and menacing film, punctuated by moments of brief, explosive action. It's a daring break from its prequel but yet another successful martial arts endeavour from Gareth Evans."
|
| 80 75% | The Raid: Redemption (2012) - Rated 13 Dec 2015
"Evans is a little transparent when he tries to introduce some stakes to the story, but anything resembling cruft quickly takes a back seat to what a is a truly awesome series of action scenes."
