Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

A nuanced lens shone on a particular moment in history, with an incredible cast and a brilliant script, albeit one probably better placed on a stage (as the original was intended) than on film.

What We Do in the Shadows

An indie flick filmed on a tight budget that still manages a much better modernisation of vampire mythology than Twilight, with a great cast and some excellent deadpan comedy thrown throughout.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Action-packed, with some intense car chases and choreography, and more character depth than it needed, but still little more than an excuse for some body horror and extreme violence.

The Proposal

A surprisingly funny and interesting film with a great cast and a brilliant amount of Betty White.

Identity Thief

A solid comedy with some interesting (albeit slightly over-the-top) characters and more societal nuance than expected.

Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Some decent narrative ideas, but lacks any standout moments and ultimately marred by how poorly written Anakin is and how little the central romance works.

Thunder Force

A middle-of-the-road superhero comedy with a few rare moments of laughter and one genius man-crab 🦀

Palm Springs

A really solid movie that makes the most of the central gimmick in some unexpected ways, with a great cast and excellent comedy writing.

The Accountant

A surprisingly clever and different action movie with some great moments, clever twists, and an overall solid plot. Could have been tightened up in a few places, and the portrayal of autism is maybe lacking in nuance, but still enjoyable.

6 Underground

An over-the-top action bonanza with some exceptional stunt work and a perfectly serviceable plot, but it won't be pushing any boundaries or reinventing any genres any time soon.
