WHAT I LIKED: The first Star Wars was an archetypal tale of two men inevitably becoming heroes to fight evil, but what gives 'The Empire Strikes Back,' its edge is that no-one's fate seems certain.
A bombastic opening battle establishes the Empir... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Return of the Jedi,' is arguably the most interesting original Star Wars movie to discuss, as whilst it's not necessarily as sophisticated as its predecessors, it's definitely the most spiritually-minded of the three and equally rou... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: We knew by this point that Ben Affleck can both act and direct to an incredible standard, but he still manages to surprise us with every great turn he makes. This time, he pulled out all the stops and as a result 'Argo' is one of the... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: J.J. Abrams' 'Super8' is pretty much Spielberg on drugs, and I mean that in the best possible way. It's got all the emotion and heart in all the right places and is a family drama at it's core, but it also offsets any chance of that... Read the full review »

@Chris I think I agree with most of yours, but for best actor I think there are better choices, and the animations should be Zootopia for me!!

WHAT I LIKED: Well I think it's safe to say Garfield deserved that nomination, as this guy delivers one heck of a performance as this extremely admirable hero. Hacksaw Ridge is also a film that achieves technically in many ways too - with excellen... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: X-Men: Days of Future past is genious; but mostly it sticks out because the story makes for previously impossible character development that surprisingly rounds out these younger versions to a level of greater depth and interest. It'... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Damien Chazelle's 'Whiplash' made you so nervous you could burst, but the beauty of his 'La La Land' is that it manages to play with all of your emotions. I cried, I felt empathetic for the leads, I felt reflective, but most of all I... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I thought Whiplash would be a great drama with awesome music, but nothing prepared me for what I actually experienced here. Yes at his mere age, Damien Chazelle managed to deliver something as raw, intense and brutal as I've ever see... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no doubt 'Layer Cake' is a clever film in many ways - primarily because the story it's based on has a whole set of interesting messages and well-constructed plots, but also because it's brought to life in an artistic and exci... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: All the explaining I could do about what makes 'Hidden Figures' so appealing can simply be personified by the film's gorgeous score. A ballsy yet successful balance between the wonder and beauty of Hans Zimmer and the hope and lightn... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I had high hopes for this film after the brilliance of 'Bourne Identity' and largely it succeeds where the last did; bringing a gritty tone and plenty of exciting action right from the off. This time around though, the plot is far mo... Read the full review »
