The Mercy (2018) 73% 4/5 EDIT “What's great about The Mercy is how it manages to surprise, both in the story it's telling and how Marsh gradually shifts the tone.” – Den of Geek Aug 7, 2019 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% 4/5 EDIT “In the end, Chazelle manages to fashion First Man into a gripping account of one of mankind's greatest achievements. The only slight frustration is the stoic-to-a-fault central character.” – Den of Geek Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Despite its trouble sticking the landing, it houses a phenomenally good movie star performance from Theron.” – Den of Geek Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Blockers (2018) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Nevertheless, at a brisk 102 minutes, which flies by thanks to the bulk of the action being set around a single night, a solid gag rate and immensely likeable cast, this is a funny and surprisingly moving treat.” – Den of Geek Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Blinded by the Light (2019) 89% EDIT “Charming and full of laughs and warmheartedness, Blinded By The Light is an absolute joy from start to finish.” – Den of Geek Aug 7, 2019 Full Review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 (2015) 70% 4/5 EDIT “An emotional gut-punch of a film that's a fitting send-off for one of modern-day cinema's great heroines.” – Digital Spy Nov 4, 2015 Full Review Spectre (2015) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Spectre will go down as Craig's stab at going full-blown BOND - big, bold and a bit more like Roger Moore.” – Digital Spy Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Beasts of No Nation (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Those with a strong stomach will be rewarded with a powerful film about the grim realities of war.” – Digital Spy Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Pan (2015) 27% 3/5 EDIT “If Barrie inspired JK Rowling, then here the favour is returned wholesale as screenwriter Jason Fuchs's take is pure Potter.” – Digital Spy Sep 20, 2015 Full Review Irrational Man (2015) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Irrational Man is strictly one for Allen die-hards only.” – Digital Spy Sep 11, 2015 Full Review American Ultra (2015) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Blood flows freely and bones snap with audible cracks in the kinetic action scenes, the highlight of the movie by far.” – Digital Spy Sep 2, 2015 Full Review Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) 8% 2/5 EDIT “The wait for a great video game movie goes on... over to you, Warcraft.” – Digital Spy Aug 26, 2015 Full Review Absolutely Anything (2015) 20% 1/5 EDIT “Based off a script that's been knocking around for some years, Absolutely Anything feels like a half-baked Python sketch strung out and bludgeoned into anti-laugh oblivion.” – Digital Spy Aug 14, 2015 Full Review The Gift (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The Gift comes across like a naff slasher movie from its trailer, but in reality it's a nifty little psychological thriller that asks if it's possible to run away from buried secrets in your past.” – Digital Spy Aug 6, 2015 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Now on his fifth go-around as Ethan Hunt, Cruise has steered the Mission movies away from distinct authorial voices and into showreels for his own daredevil stunt work.” – Digital Spy Jul 24, 2015 Full Review Ant-Man (2015) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Free of the bloated running time we've come to expect from summer movies, it's a hugely entertaining superhero comedy that's a refreshing break from Marvel formula.” – Digital Spy Jul 8, 2015 Full Review Everly (2014) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Even slobbering Salma fans might come away feeling frustrated at the lack of an x-rated payoff.” – Digital Spy Jun 23, 2015 Full Review Entourage (2015) 32% 2/5 EDIT “Mercifully this isn't as bad as the brain-meltingly awful Sex and the City 2, but expanded to the big screen Entourage feels more featherlight and throwaway than ever.” – Digital Spy Jun 19, 2015 Full Review The Longest Ride (2015) 31% 2/5 EDIT “It's not called The Longest Ride for nothing. At 2 hours plus it's the lengthiest Sparks movie yet - after about an hour of snooze-inducing predictability you're just desperate for it to end.” – Digital Spy Jun 18, 2015 Full Review Jurassic World (2015) 72% 4/5 EDIT “No spoilers here, but the finale delivers one of the most satisfying, punch-the-air-brilliant blockbuster pay-offs in recent memory.” – Digital Spy Jun 10, 2015 Full Review Spy (2015) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The most surprising thing of all? Jason Statham is Spy's secret weapon.” – Digital Spy Jun 1, 2015 Full Review San Andreas (2015) 48% 2/5 EDIT “... a classic case of spectacle over story that'll largely slip from the memory the second Sia's 'California Dreamin' kicks in over the end credits.” – Digital Spy May 27, 2015 Full Review Tomorrowland (2015) 49% 3/5 EDIT “... as Hollywood's biggest movies become ever more reliant on being "dark and gritty", brownie points should go to Bird for countering all that by coming up with something that's buoyantly optimistic.” – Digital Spy May 17, 2015 Full Review Big Game (2014) 77% 4/5 EDIT “This is a cheap and charming throwback to action movies of the '80s and '90s, an era before spandex-clad superheroes dominated the multiplexes.” – Digital Spy May 6, 2015 Full Review MI-5 (2015) 64% 3/5 EDIT “For fans after a nostalgic hit from a beloved TV show of yesteryear this will hit the mark, for the rest it could be a case of spy movie burnout.” – Digital Spy Apr 29, 2015 Full Review
