Freight is notable mainly for the fact that it’s only the second ever film I’ve seen set in my unremarkable home town of Leeds. After getting over this shock I was just treated to clichés, a poorly thought out storyline and dialogue and a little bit of serviceable action.

This British druglord biopic gives Howard Marks the complete luvvy-duvvy treatment and offers absolutely nothing new but Mr. Nice has an interesting enough story to entertain throughout.

A history lesson in a format your Mum might like, Made in Dagenham isn’t to everyone’s taste but it is largely watchable.

Who would have thought that watching Ryan Reynolds in a coffin for ninety minutes would be well-acted and tension-filled but Cortés manages it. Now for Adam Sandler in a coffin, minus the camera.

All the pieces are here to make a good movie, but The American lacks any real entertainment value.

Alfredson’s effort is too disjointed and just doesn’t give enough shared screentime to the charismatic leads to get even close to the awesome The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Shame.

In my opinion, this is the best and most iconic war film to date. It’s packed with thrilling action, memorable characters and a refreshing dose of surealism and madness that make it slightly different from the rest. Apocalypse Wow more like.

A worthy Oscar Winner that expertly blends mystery, romance, comedy and suspense to create a really moving and satisfying watch.

One of Hollywood’s great historical epic adventures floating in a sea of missed opportunities, Mann perfectly mixes action, romance and good characterisation. Also, only one of two films that have ever made me weepy. The other being Little Nicky – different reasons.

Probably better now as a rental than if you had paid to see it in a theater, Michael Cera fans will love it, while fans of anyone else in the film will feel a little cheated.
