WHAT I LIKED: What's so notable about Edwin S. Porter's 'The Great Train Robbery,' isn't the story itself or whether it's the first western or not, it's really the way in which the overall narrative is built. Yes the use of cross-cuts showing diff... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Filmmakers have tried to bring the horrors of war to audiences in relatable ways for decades - be it with gore, sentimentality, political messages etc., but entering the fray of great directors to attempt this and succeed is Sam Mend... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: After five Potter films driven largely by the anticipation of myserious plots and a bunch of coming-of-age arcs, it's strange that all of that is absent in 'The Half Blood Prince.' In fact, any real jeopardy or tests for the characte... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: After the Russo Brothers' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' aimed higher than your average MCU venture, the duo returned with 'Captain America: Civil War,' and this time delivered a film that attempted to give the activities of... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Another charming and quirky film from Wes Anderson, on the one hand 'Isle of Dogs,' is nothing we wouldn't have expected from this director, but on the other hand the stop-motion animation and the film's heady themes work to make it... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: After 'American Beauty,' Sam Mendes returns to Hollywood with a very different kind of film - the comparatively simple and heartbreakingly tragic character study of 'Road to Perdition.' Yes forget the social satire and snappy style o... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Most superhero movies have their heroes encounter external threats, but what makes 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' such a spectacular anomaly is that the titular villain is created by the central hero, embodies his worst tendencies, and r... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: It's certainly true that 'Ocean's 12,' has all - if not more - of the sparky style and cool that its predecessor did, as Steven Soderbergh returns again on good form. The cast also deliver home-runs in the same departments, and argua... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What mostly keeps this film alive is undoubtedly the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, as both of these massive stars deliver sparky performances with bags of whit, style and smiles. To go with that is Doug Liman's typi... Read the full review »
