A clever, touching and, at times, irreverently funny tale of a mother and a psychopathic son told with huge amounts of subtlety and depth.

The out-of-touch Garry Marshall butchers another special occasion with this unfunny, over-filled romantic comedy that tries to make us think that people still care about Jon Bon Jovi.

A surprisingly decent, if not consistently funny, spin off from the Shrek series. Definitely better than expected, mostly thanks to a short and sweet runtime and great voiceover cast. Probably a success because Mike Myers is nowhere near it.

The Cronenberg-Mortensen partnership gels to great effect in this intelligent tale of the Russian Mafia and sex trafficking in the UK. Better than A History of Violence, I’d say.

Fassbender is excellent and this real life story is adapted with maturity and intelligence by Steve McQueen. An excellent debut feature about a difficult time in British and Irish history.

A perfectly watchable swords and sandals gorefest. Nothing more.

Arguably Akira Kurosawa’s best work has it all – epic action, a simple, measured plot and one cool hero. Anyone who calls himself a man will want to be a Samurai after watching this.

An introspective and mature study of the monotony of war that’s the exact opposite of an all-action trailer that lied to too many people. It’s a different kind of war film that’s definitely worth a look.

A largely forgettable crime caper that thankfully has enough plot to hang the jokes on. The best thing Rattner and Murphy have made for a long time but that’s not much of a compliment.
