WHAT I LIKED: 'Finding Nemo' is one of those films that just represents very simple, very effective story-telling that works extremely well. The adventure is easy but highly engaging because the father-son relationship is well developed, the meani... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The animation is great, and the characters are well developed. All this allows 'Happy feet' to dance with some great themes and still make it appeal to the whole family.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Having said that, the plot is extremelly th... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The real marvel of 'Catch me if you Can' is most definitely its story, as the sheer madness of what is supposedly truth is enough to boggle the mind. Of course with that in place it would be very easy to let its engagement slip, but... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There are some amusing moments in James Bond spoof 'Johnny English,' and most of those come from the comedic ability of the brilliant Rowan Atkinson, who - despite being heavily restrained by the film around him - does shine occasion... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Few were crying out for a sequel to the the rather lackluster and unfunny 'Johnny English,' but as far as I'm concerned this premise still had potential, and frankly the second ends up doing a far better job with it - though not nece... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Much like with 'Iron Man' just before it, the thing that works about Marvel's 'The Incredible Hulk' is the character stuff, as there are some attempts here to make you care about this Bruce Banner. Edward Norton delivers a great perf... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: An innocent and beautiful love story; 'Love, Rosie' mostly succeeds in building two characters with real believable chemistry to hook you into the whole experience. This is thanks to a fairly well-built plot, as well as two sparkling... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What's interesting about George Lucas' Star Wars prequels is that they're about people trying but failing to do good in a system of power, war and bureaucracy, and you certainly get glimpses of that in 'The Phantom Menace.' The Jedi... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'The Phantom Menace,' planted the seeds of some interesting things, but 'Attack of the Clones,' delivers on them by brilliantly realising the world of corruption and bureaucracy leading to a galaxy at war. We get to see the real bure... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The prequels are interesting because they're not about black and white and good vs evil - they exist in a greyer realm in which bureaucracy and power corrupts and forces the hands of even the most sacred and well-intended individuals... Read the full review »

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 »
