27 5% He Never Died (2015) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"If you want a stock standard action movie, but want a little horror for Halloween, sure it will work. But ultimately, it felt like an OK movie with alright characters, and a boring, not comedic, non-horrorifying plot."
35 9% Absolutely Anything (2015) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"Yeah I still like the idea, and at times it executes them well. For the most part however, this movie relies so often on one-note humour, and completely phones in the "drama" that its difficult to widely reccommend"
41 13% Knight of Cups (2015) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"And now I have to try and summarise all that...... ok. Knight of cups has a great heart, a great desire to make you meditate on its themes. It has at times a constant flow to it and a glimmer of beauty. Ultimately, though it feels as though I am supposed to just sustain a 2 hour viewing on the themes alone. If you really like arty existential movies, it might be your taste. I feel instead as though I am not qualified to watch this movie or something, it just feels like I have to do film studies"
54 18% Nerve (2016) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"Nerve is an exciting fast paced movie that is fun and knows how to raise the stakes. It also knows how to lower the stakes into a vat of saccharine, mixed with "internet stranger danger" pamphlets and garbage."
62 27% Warcraft (2016) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"Warcraft is the right kind of adaptation, presenting a great fantasy tale. Though, my lack of commitment to wow is obvious, as this movie is not particularly in my preferred taste."
64 32% Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"Whilst it isn't neccessary my preferred genre or story, Kingsglaive is an engrossing film, and a wonderful companion to FFXV. The anime Brotherhood is kind of garbage."
70 42% Suicide Squad (2016) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"Suicide Squad isn't the smash hit the classic rock song-ladden trailers may have led me into believing it could be. DC can't seem to sever its ties, to grim dark and bad characterisation. But don't misunderstand its a step in the right direction and an at times deliriously fun ride through the mean streets of Gotham."
73 48% Shaolin Soccer (2001) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"It's soccer meets kungfu meets crazy over the top anime moves. With all the awesomeness attached. Also the unsubtle storytelling, non-existent characters, general lunacy (both good and bad)."
78 56% Oldboy (2003) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"If you like Park Chan Wook's work, or want to dip your feet in some disturbing thriller cinema, this is may be worth checking out."
84 71% I Heart Huckabees (2004) - Rated 17 Dec 2016
"I ? Huckabees is of a rare breed: A movie that is both fun to watch and has existentialism front and center. Through a funny, surreal plot, we are guided into an interesting discussion of competing viewpoints of existentialism. It's smart, it's wacky, I'm running out of useful adjectives, I'm going to reccommend."
