Undefeated (2012) |
"
one or two scenes feel like they're been manipulated for maximum tear-jerkery (see the surprise, last-minute scholarship), but Coach Courtney is a very watchable central figure."

Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan (1982) |
"
Infusing more humanity and character work in the first ten minutes than TMP managed in its entire duration, The Wrath Of Khan is a satisfying improvement in almost every respect."

The Sapphires (2013) |
"
While predictable and fluffy, The Sapphires balances foot-tapping soul classics, acerbic Aussie insults and uncomplicated drama to crowd-pleasing effect."

Skyfall not only gets things back on track, but delivers what is arguably the best Bond movie of all time."

JFK (1991) |
"
Essentially three hours (plus) of Oliver Stone presenting a conspiracy theory to the audience, JFK is ambitious, controversial, fascinating, exhausting, and, perhaps most importantly, convincing. "

De rouille et d'os (Rust and Bone) (2012) |
"
Yes, there's liberal amounts of bare-knuckle fighting and naked nookie, but this is primarily a soulful relationship drama which is gentle, powerful and, on occasion, genuinely shattering. "

Chernobyl Diaries (2012) |
"
While it won't win any prizes for originality, Chernobyl Diaries is still a relatively effective horror experience and certainly not deserving of some of the one-star reviews being afforded its way."

Argo (2012) |
"
It not only confirms Affleck as one of the few A-listers to have made a credible transition to behind the camera, but that he's one of the most exciting mainstream directors around, full stop."

Your Sister's Sister (2012) |
"
Your Sister's Sister is somewhat slight and familiar, but it still manages to offer some reasonably insightful material on love and sibling relationships. "

There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"
Challenging and far from an easy watch, even those who do respond might take a couple of viewings to fully realise just how good it is, but there's little doubt that it's a modern masterpiece."

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) |
"
it'll still appeal more to teen girls and the Twi-hard, Robsessed fanbase than boyfriends who've been forced to watch by their other halves, but thankfully there's less mopey melodrama."

There's certainly no questioning the technical ability on show, but unfortunately the end result is often more impressive than it is involving. "

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) |

Part social realism drama, part magical fairytale, part eco-themed cautionary tale, Beasts Of The Southern Wild is arguably three beautiful films rolled into one."
