Tusk

Kevin Smith and I are fucking done professionally. Literally one of the worst things I've seen in a while. Ugh. 1/5

Haunter

A totally awesome take on a familiar story, very original & suspenseful. Breslin was great as well. Well done! 4/5

Visioneers

This is a dry dark comedy set in a dystopian future that feels much like "Joe vs The Volcano" - nicely done. 3.5/5

Into the Storm

This is just a modern version of "Twister" with incredible effects, just don't think about the lost cameras. 4/5

I didn't see the last third of this period drama coming which was a plus, but otherwise it was rather neatly done 3/5

Are You Here

Matthew Weiner's first film is a complex drama with a phenomenal performance from Galifianakis. Compelling. 4/5

Good People

The acting was wooden & the plot totally transparent in this lackluster thriller - Franco & Hudson were just bad. 2/5

Enter the Void

Let me be clear at the start - I am a fan of Gaspar Noe. I loved "I Stand Alone" and found it groundbreaking. I adored "Irreversible" and think it was a game-changer for modern cinema. And yes, I felt ill during parts of "Irreversible" but understood that to be a function of the film. The content is so disturbing that it's only right that you should feel physically ill while watching it, and so I appreciated the camerawork in it, knowing it's purpose. But here, in "Enter the Void", the cinematography is so motion-sickness inducing with the lurching camera and the near constant strobing that I found it impossible to finish. I made it - just barely mind you - to about the 90 minute mark before I had to give up. And what's worse is that, editing aside, because boy does it need some, I was captivated by it. I really wanted to see where it went, which is the only reason I didn't turn it off a half hour in. I've waited a long time to watch this film and I'm sad that I will never finish it. Such a shame. 2/5

Tammy

I'm not a big Melissa McCarthy fan but she was wonderful in this funny, dark & witty comedy - better than expected. 4/5

Serving Life

This poignant documentary is heartbreaking at times & gives a raw and unfiltered look at dying. Very moving. 4.5/5

Trap for Cinderella

I really liked this smart & stylish thriller and didn't guess a thing until the end. Well plotted. 4/5

Authors Anonymous

This was a cute movie with good acting but the lack of directorial consistency was annoying as hell. 3/5

Monster Thursday

This Norwegian drama about love was a bit too subtle for me - I missed the larger allegory it was going for. 3/5
