Pain & Gain 2013
Michael Bay is back where he belongs: Making deleriously funny, morally reprehensible cinema for grown ups who like to laugh at the awful, stupid things people do to each other. What makes his Transformers movies so fundamentally troubling is what makes Pain & Gain so engrossing and entertaining, but if it takes three more Transformers movies to get Bay making a movie this good again, I'll see Transformers 4 about twenty times.

Away We Go 2009
Sam Mendes reels back his usual visual flair, after the stylish but emotionally vacuous Revolutionary Road, and gives us a more stripped down, sincere character drama.
Away We Go is easily one of his best films because he trusts the beautifully simple prose of Dave Eggers' script and his game cast can do the heavy lifting. No pretense, just people.
