Need for Speed (2014) |
Need for Speed takes itself a little too seriously and ultimately overstays its welcome. - Cairo360

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) |
Under the detailed eye of Iñárritu, the cast play their roles with a naturalism rarely seen in modern mainstream film; they're expressions, gestures, movements and reactions aren't hinged on creating drama - Iñárritu lets his actors just be. - Cairo360

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) |
Loud, brisk and incredibly light on its feet, there is a lot of fun to be had here. - Cairo360

Paddington 2 (2017) |
Undeniably charming and infectiously disarming, it's almost impossible not to be swept away or even find a fault in the follow-up to Paul King's 2014's Paddington. - Cairo360

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) |
And while definitely an acquired taste, there is still something beautifully unsettling hiding behind the film's deadpan façade. - Cairo360

The Mountain Between Us (2017) |
However, there is very little substance hiding beneath all of the pretty frost. Lifeless and a tad melodramatic, The Mountain Between Us feels more like a TV movie than a big-screen survival flick. - Cairo360

A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) |
Words are not easy to come by when it comes to describing the experience of sitting through and watching A Bad Mom's Christmas. Adjectives such as agonising, laborious and torturous definitely spring to mind... - Cairo360

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) |
It might not be as magical or as intriguing as the 1974 version - until now that is still the best adaptation of the story - but there is still enough here to keep the story from completely going off the rails. - Cairo360

Daddy's Home 2 (2017) |
A derivative and a painfully formulaic follow-up which, apart from offering a few scattered laughs, can't seem to find a way to make its set-up fresh enough. - Cairo360

Justice League (2017) |
Although engaging in parts, Justice League is one big incoherent and loud mess that, unfortunately, has failed to utilise its undeniable superhero-star power in order to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience that the fans have been waiting to see. - Cairo360

Wonder (2017) |
Authentic and genuine, focus and attention is paid to every step taken and while there are unavoidable moments of mushiness involved - especially in the movie's overly sentimental ending - Chbosky makes it easy to forgive and forget. - Cairo360

Suburbicon (2017) |
However, although entertaining in parts, there is very little connective tissue between the two main running storylines, creating a disappointing disconnect which prevents the movie from truly coming together in the end. - Cairo360

All I See Is You (2016) |
There is an appreciated sense of unconventionally to the film. However, the story quickly takes an overemotional and theatrical turn which diminish the many topics the story could have explored. - Cairo360

Thank You for Your Service (2017) |
Thank You for Your Service is an earnest and a solid - if perhaps a little familiar - war-drama which, despite a few storytelling hiccups, still manages to deliver its story with punch. - Cairo360

The Limehouse Golem (2016) |
The major problem lies with the story's all-too playful tone which diminishes the story's impact and the film's overall lack of originality. - Cairo360

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) |
The visually dazzling and refreshingly-witty offbeat installment to the seemingly unstoppable MCU franchise proves to be a third-time charm for the charismatic hammer-loving superhero. - Cairo360

Jigsaw (2017) |
Bloody and gory but also laborious and uncreative, fans will probably walk out happy, but even they won't be able to turn a blind eye to Jigsaw's overall inferiority and shameless attempt at a much overdo Halloween cash-grab. - Cairo360

The Monster (2016) |
It's a small movie with a big message and even if the big bad itself is not scary, it's the unseen creature that is eating away the love between a mother and a daughter that offers the strongest frights. - Cairo360

Home Again (2017) |
Void of dramatic purpose and filled with one too many rom-com cliches, Home Again fails to offer anything new to the genre, rehashing on what's already been done and seen before in a way that is most uninspiring and uninteresting. - Cairo360
