Jurassic World (2015) 72% B EDIT “Dinosaurs may no longer amaze, but bonkers plotting always will.” – eFilmCritic.com Jun 23, 2015 Full Review Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The action is phenomenally well staged. It's exciting, daringly choreographed and filled with weight.” – eFilmCritic.com May 13, 2015 Full Review Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) 75% B- EDIT “"Age of Ultron" is the very embodiment of its villain. Cooked up on a whim, glaringly artificial, but with just enough smarts below the bonnet to push it above "Transformers"-esque guff.” – eFilmCritic.com May 1, 2015 Full Review Men, Women & Children (2014) 33% 2/5 EDIT “None of it feels right; even the sight of Sandler (again proving he's a sound dramatic presence) masturbating plays like a lie.” – eFilmCritic.com Dec 8, 2014 Full Review Horrible Bosses 2 (2014) 35% B- EDIT “Amusing but stretched sequel to the 2011 sleeper.” – eFilmCritic.com Dec 4, 2014 Full Review St. Vincent (2014) 78% B- EDIT “"St. Vincent" is obvious to a fault, but it sidesteps the threat of potential cynicism and schmaltz.” – eFilmCritic.com Dec 4, 2014 Full Review Laggies (2014) 64% B+ EDIT “Lynn Shelton's indie is remarkably likable and quick-witted” – eFilmCritic.com Dec 4, 2014 Full Review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (2014) 70% B+ EDIT “In a way reminiscent of "Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 1" tone, mood and implication override aggressive momentum, the script a hearty study in character.” – eFilmCritic.com Nov 22, 2014 Full Review Interstellar (2014) 73% B EDIT “the aesthetic wonderment is unrelenting.” – eFilmCritic.com Nov 7, 2014 Full Review Fury (2014) 75% C+ EDIT “"Fury" lets us know what a bitch war can be; but sadly misfires in painting a compelling portrait of its victims.” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 29, 2014 Full Review The Babadook (2014) 98% B EDIT “"The Babadook" has one helluva title.” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 29, 2014 Full Review The Maze Runner (2014) 66% 3/5 EDIT “"Lord of the Flies" for dummies. Still, it harbours a grittier faculty than expected, and for that alone, "The Maze Runner" deserves more credit than pathetic snobs cum cynics like me are liable to admit.” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 18, 2014 Full Review Dracula Untold (2014) 26% C EDIT “The final scene represents a major WTF, and promises a sequel nuttier than a sack of almonds.” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 7, 2014 Full Review Gone Girl (2014) 88% A- EDIT “It's nice to observe "Gone Girl" played with blackly satirical undertones, soliciting chortles amid the mire of disgust. People never really think of Fincher as a humourist, but he his movies rarely unfold without intelligent laughs” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 1, 2014 Full Review '71 (2014) 96% B EDIT “"'71" weeps not for independence nor promotes a union, instead the picture honours the many innocents ruined forever by the country's continued unrest.” – eFilmCritic.com Sep 22, 2014 Full Review Magic in the Moonlight (2014) 52% B- EDIT “I expect something a little more ambitious from next year's untitled project, but in a career full of misses, "Magic in the Moonlight" is a pleasant placeholder.” – eFilmCritic.com Sep 16, 2014 Full Review Sex Tape (2014) 16% D+ EDIT “it makes vanilla ice-cream exciting by comparison.” – eFilmCritic.com Sep 6, 2014 Full Review The Guest (2014) 92% 4/5 EDIT “"The Guest" is Stevens' and Wingard's show, a slickly executed and oft probing throwback to when heroes were nasty, blood spurted gratuitously and strangers were staring to exude that seedy aura of mistrust.” – eFilmCritic.com Sep 4, 2014 Full Review Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) 42% C- EDIT “The original feature was an ambitious experiment, a direct and often successful attempt to demonstrate the fusion of cinema and graphic art within a complete package. Now such cultural considerations seem redundant” – eFilmCritic.com Aug 30, 2014 Full Review Locke (2013) 91% B+ EDIT “Knight's camera creates an enchanting and suitably despairing trip down a rabbit-hole flanked by service stations.” – eFilmCritic.com Aug 30, 2014 Full Review The Inbetweeners 2 (2014) 69% B- EDIT “Only fleetingly cinematic, the film none the less honours the tone of the original televisual material (which ran from 2008-10) more satisfactorily” – eFilmCritic.com Aug 30, 2014 Full Review Lucy (2014) 67% 3/5 EDIT “On a big screen this overblown odyssey of violence and splendour carries along nicely, and even has the (lady) balls to do something interesting beneath its incessantly pulsating veneer.” – eFilmCritic.com Aug 27, 2014 Full Review Let's Be Cops (2014) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Directed by Luke Greenfield (2004's underrated "The Girl Next Door"), "Let's be Cops is broad, sitcomish cinema, only occasionally redeemed by the high octane energy of "New Girl"'s Jake Johnson.” – eFilmCritic.com Aug 26, 2014 Full Review The Expendables 3 (2014) 32% D+ EDIT “Hughes' Hollywood debut is frustrating, chiefly because he can obviously do better. "Red Hill" was an atmospheric and intelligently chilling work, yet "The Expendables 3" is flavourless.” – eFilmCritic.com Aug 18, 2014 Full Review Hector and the Search for Happiness (2014) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Cameos from Jean Reno, Toni Collette and Christopher Plummer (the picture's late highlight) provide come cheap mirth, but can't distract from the muddled odyssey Hector undergoes.” – eFilmCritic.com Aug 15, 2014 Full Review
