Knocked Up (2007)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'Knocked Up,' may just look like a pretty passable excuse for a friday night comedy, but in fact it's a rather smart and often rather hilarious movie that - like many great comedies - delivers some genius commentary on the real world... Read the full review »

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)

5 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: There's no denying that there are some funny things in 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging,' as writer/director Gurinda Chadha takes the source material and crafts some amusing commentary on white-girl teenage angst and first-world p... Read the full review »

Lean on Pete (2017)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: At its core, Andrew Haigh's 'Lean on Pete,' is the affecting and touching character study of a young man without any much-needed guidance or parental figures who ends up on the run with a horse, but the reason it's so amazing - and w... Read the full review »

The Purge (2013)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: There's simply no denying that James DeMonaco's 'The Purge,' has a pretty genius concept at its centre, as the idea of one night of murder and the purging of whoever society pleases is both an interesting thematic idea as well as a r... Read the full review »

Rocky (1976)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: It's funny how boxing has spawned so many film portrayals, but anyone looking for a core reason why this sport in particular is so popular in cinema needn't look any further than 'Rocky,' as it practically defines its sub-genre. Yes... Read the full review »

Jean (2018)

7 / 10
