Different Director, more of the same. Wrath of the Titans is boring confusing and unspectacular and hopefully signals the end for this failed franchise.
It may be a little overlong, but Wei and Woo introduce a fascinating story from history with plenty of stylish action and objectivity.
A subtle look at the psychological nuances of teenage bullies in Sweden. Fascinating watching.
The Hunger Games is a well-worn concept done fairly well but it’s a bit confused by who it’s target audience is. Basically this sanitised Battle Royale is like Twilight, if everyone decided to kill each other.

A harrowing tale from the human side of the Bosnian War in the Nineties that is well-acted and excellently-directed. Moving, haunting, disturbing but also a must see.
An original comedy gem about the afterlife that’s both darkly sarcastic and moving. As close to real British humour as you can get.
The original road trip movie has excellent cinematography, a thumping sountrack and three great characters. Good film if you weren’t there, awesome film if you were.

Don’t be put off by the awful trailers, a shocking concept and Channing Tatum in a comedy role, 21 Jump Street is great fun with lots of great jokes and excellent performances.

Plenty of stunts, memorable scenes and pre-alcohol-Brit-bashing Mel Gibson makes this revenge thriller a winner. A little dated when seen today but George Miller has to get credit for getting there first and on a small budget too.

Andrew Stanton’s disappointing sci-fi epic is all style and no substance. Teenage boys are better off playing a video game whereas female admirers of the male form should just flick through a guy’s underwear catalogue instead.
