| 96% | Argo (2012) |
A smart, gripping thriller and further proof that Ben Affleck is as adept behind the camera as he is in front of it.‐ Film4

| 50% | White House Down (2013) |
Whether or not you enjoy this film depends entirely on whether you judge it to be po-faced or parody. If you believe it's the former, you'll probably hate it. If you believe it's the latter, you'll have an absolute blast.‐ Film4

| 50% | Pain & Gain (2013) |
The uneasy blend of comedy and ultra-violence will turn some viewers off but, if you can stomach it, you may find yourself curiously entertained.‐ Film4

| 47% | We're The Millers (2013) |

| 43% | Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013) |
The tween and teen target audience will no doubt lap Sea Of Monsters up, but adults will be disappointed by its feeble protagonist and uninvolving plot.‐ Film4

| 82% | This Is the End (2013) |
Loads funnier - and smarter - than it sounds on paper, and well worth watching for the unflinching Hollywood satire, even if you're sick of Apatow-esque bromantic comedies.‐ Film4

| 66% | World War Z (2013) |
Itbecomes increasingly difficult to pin any message at all on Marc Forster's astonishingly expensive and extensively re-written (and re-shot) blockbuster. And you know what? I didn't mind in the least.‐ Film4

| 83% | Something in the Air (2013) |
What ultimately makes this film stand out is the way it captures the painful dawning experienced by all human beings that neither youth - nor you - are eternal.‐ Film4

| 89% | Bernie (2012) |
A sweet, dark, funny true-crime story with a dream cast - and that includes the real-life residents of the town of Carthage, Texas.‐ Film4

| 74% | Love Is All You Need (2013) |
While it's always commendable when filmmakers attempt to broach new territory, this disappointingly slight rom-com does not live up to director Susanne Bier and writer Anders Thomas Jensen's more serious work.‐ Film4

| 9% | The Host (2013) |
The central premise of The Host is fundamentally unfilmable and, hence, probably shouldn't have been filmed.‐ Film4

| 77% | A Late Quartet (2012) |
A pathos-laden chamber piece poignantly played by an ensemble of actors at the peak of their powers.‐ Film4

| 41% | Dark Skies (2013) |
Somehow this mishmash of borrowed ideas all comes together to create an unexpectedly solid genre movie.‐ Film4

| 4.5/5 | 84% | The Hunger Games (2012) |
An intelligent, thrill-quenching blend of sci-fi and satire introducing a welcome addition to the woefully small canon of admirable action heroines. Bring on round two!‐ Film4

| 2/6 | 52% | Introducing the Dwights (2007) |
Jean Dwight (Brenda Blethyn) is perhaps the most overbearing, self-obsessed and irritating matriarchal big screen figure since Norman Bates' mum in 'Psycho'.‐ Time Out
