The Rocker

This indie comedy was funny but awfully predictable. But hey, I did like Will Arnett, so there's something. 3/5

I Melt With You

This dark, moody, intense drama is brilliantly written, directed & acted. Absolutely stunning - revelatory.  It's not for everyone, but if this trailer speaks to you, rent this film immediately. You'll thank me. 5/5

A Better Life

This poignant, well-acted drama reminded me very much of "The Bicycle Thief" Demain Bichir was excellent. 3.5/5

Metropia

This fascinating animated feature is just gorgeous but suffers a bit from an overly ambiguous plot. Intriguing. 3.5/5

The Sitter

This was only watchable because of Jonah Hill & Sam Rockwell - ridiculous & unfunny at every turn. Shame. 2/5

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

Pegg is wonderfully refreshing as always in this comedy although I didn't like the end 3.5/5

Melancholia

Von Trier redeems himself with this beautiful, hypnotic vision that dreamily captures the human condition. The comparisons to "Tree of Life" are endless - I found this vastly superior in every context 3.5/5

The Iron Lady

Streep was absolutely brilliant in this, but why did they choose to tell this story when history is so rich? 3.5/5

Winged Migration

The beauty of this documentary is breathtaking & the choice to leave it largely without narration bold. 4.5/5

Duck Soup

Holy fuck that was one of the worst things I've ever seen. My god I hate the Marx Brothers. I honestly don't get it. 1/5

The Descendants

The scarcity of character development or backstory here left this film lacking - this was very average for me. 3/5

The Purifiers

"The Warriors" + dystopian Britain + "The 5 Deadly Venoms" = a really piss-poor movie. What a shame! 1.5/5

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this film but honestly the subject bored me to tears. Not for me. 2.5/5

London Boulevard

This film has great acting but boiled down it's just "Drive" with less clarity & development. I'm kinda meh. 3/5

John Tucker Must Die

This is decently cute for a silly & vapid adolescent comedy, which I guess says it all, doesn't it? 3/5
