WHAT I LIKED: 'High Rise' is a film driven entirely by its themes, and it certainly succeeds on that front. Yes in fact this is easily one of the most interesting social commentaries I've seen in a long time, and I suppose that's mainly down to th... Read the full review »

@TheFilmRascalShow Yeah I jut took the word soundtrack to mean all, but I guess score is more specific to what I was saying!!

WHAT I LIKED: A crime-thriller with real depth; Ben Affleck's 'The Town' isn't just great edge-of-your-seat cops and robbers stuff, but its brilliant narrative genuinely allows you to understand both sides too. Indeed that's a rather rare thing in... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This is yet another Liam Neeson-fronted thriller so we should have some idea of what we're getting by now, but the core asset of 'Non-Stop,' is undoubtedly the mystery and the way it builds tension so surprisingly well. Yes you genui... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This amazing film takes the fight on a timely issue, and it wins because of its developed characterisation and its tragically poetic story. Yes 'Philadelphia,' genuinely brings a tear yo the eye and engages brilliantly with its touch... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: At its centre, 'Doctor Strange,' is really just another simple, well-told superhero origin about a guy going from douchebag to hero; it just so happens to have a heavy side-order of dazzling world-building and mysticism.
That's all... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: People praise today's Marvel Studios for choosing interesting directors and giving them the space to make the films that they want to make, but back in 2011, they did just that with Kenneth Branagh and 'Thor.'
Yes, if you read the s... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Iron Man 3' is the sequel that Iron Man 2 should have been, as it takes a similarly interesting character premise (this time Tony's PTSD after the events of The Avengers) and crucially takes it seriously.
Yes rather than turning the... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Few films out there bring quite the sense of celebratory joy and excitement that The Avengers does, as it not only marks the first time that these characters that we'd grown to care for come together, but the way it's executed makes... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, ‘Man of Steel’ is a surprisingly delicate character study that spends an awful lot of time grounding the most realistic, human and relatable version of Superman we’ve ever seen on the big screen. This is largel... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The final chapter of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is widely accepted as a miss-step by most, but quite frankly I'm of the opinion that it's the best of the three as it combines the touching character stuff of 'Begins,' and the ideas-h... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Despite its crazy concepts and mad, spoofy originality, 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' is a film so comfortable in its own shoes that you'd be forgiven for mistaking Sofia Boutella's metal legs for slippers, but then I suppose that's... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: ‘Spy,’ – bizarrely the first film ever to go by that name - manages to bundle its brilliant cast and arguably messy story into one of the best-written and most entertaining comedies of the year. Yes, not only does this film get... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Pegged by many as the epitome of the thriller genre; 'Se7en' is a film that earns its status by gripping you tighter and leaving you more desperate to watch each and every situation unfold than virtually any other thriller. This is o... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What's definitely most appealing about Marvel's 'Ant-Man,' is the high-concept creativity of its main growing and shrinking idea, as that unlocks the opportunity for some brilliantly charming set-pieces and some extremely effective c... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The Russo Brothers' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' is a slightly different kind of Marvel movie to what we'd seen before it, as it aims for some higher territory by heavily drawing on political thrillers of the recent past - a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no getting away from the fact that 'Captain America: The First Avenger' is a pretty goofy superhero film with its stretched origin story about a little everyman becoming the muscly American Nazi-fighter in tight blue spandex,... Read the full review »
