Letterboxd — Your life in film

A darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of the power of friendship. A fabulous and inventive animation. Well worth checking out.

It hits all the classic horror tropes but that doesn't make this any less fun. Benefiting from some suitably gory and practical effects, this is a fun horror which is surprisingly far better than it has any right to be.

Visually sumptuous and well acted adaptation of Rushdie's novel. A bit overlong and suffers a little from the need to include every little thing and be as true and literal to the source material as possible. But overall a decent and thoroughly engaging drama.

A visually sumptuous and worthy adaptation of Tolstoy's novel. Johnson is a little miscast and of course it doesn't capture the majesty of the novel, but this is still worthy if you enjoy this sort of thing.

A thrill ride from start to finish, if a little confusing in places, this is always entertaining and continues a great trend of fantastic thrilling narrative storytelling coming out of Scandinavia.

If you're not with this franchise by now then this won't change anything. The story is still ridiculous, the writing is super melodramatic, the acting is poo but yet there is still some tiny small amount of fun to be had before the absolute cop out ending which just seems to be put in place to have every single character get exactly what they want with very little struggle or strife. Thank God it's over and let's hope it's a while before this franchise gets the reboot treatment.

If it ain't broke don't fix it, which is exactly what Abrams and crew do with his second installment in his rebooted Trek franchise. Slightly flawed but any flaws are glossed over as this is perfectly blistering summer blockbuster entertainment. Terrific stuff, with Cumberbatch making for one fine villain.

I seriously do not understand the fan love behind this movie. This should've been a hilarious black comedy. This should've actually have been funny.

A couple of amusing sight gags aside this is unfunny and annoying.

Surprised I managed to give this horrible characters five minutes let alone an hour and a half.

A fun and visually inventive animated movie that is just too ordinary to be anything truly special.

A fun concept butchered by a terrifyingly awful script and by ridiculous direction. Somewhere buried underneath is the semblance of a fun movie but unfortunately it flatlines before it manages to get anywhere.

A surprisingly emotionally charged and powerful film about mothers and daughters, told through a series of stories of each of the main characters and how those stories have affected the lives of their daughters. Powerful stuff.

You don't watch Enter The Void. You EXPERIENCE Enter The Void. Definitely not for everyone, but an incredible level of technical achievement and inventiveness. A bit long and a bit too intense for some, but underneath the bleakness and despair, there is something rewarding in there. You just have to be patient and look really really hard. As I said, an experience.

There's plenty of style and flash in Baz Lurhmann's adaptation of one of the greatest novels ever written and this is a far more enticing affair than the last effort, but Lurhmann's version, for all it's richness and grandeur is actually incredibly hollow once one scratches beneath the surface.

The A-list are suitably decent yet all it is in the end is all surface and very little substance.

A decent cast fill out what is essentially B-movie material, bu it is enjoyable B-movie material nonetheless, with some enjoyably tense scenes and soem interesting character dynamics, yet the script isn't exactly as disciplined as the direction.

The story is naturally quite flimsy and this doesn't hold a candle to 42nd Street, but the social undertones and the stirring musical numbers make this worth watching.

Basically this film involves a lot of running more running and a little bit of more running with the occasional fight or "tense" bit. Not worth the effort.

Definitely a step up from the lackluster Iron Man 2, but for some reason this doesn't exactly feel as disciplined as the first movie in the series. Still, this is most certainly a Shane Black movie through and through, with Black and co-writer Drew Pearce infusing the script with a great wit and humor that most films lack. Plus Downey Jr. and Paltrow are on great form as are the villains this time around with Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley having great fun.

If this is the conclusion of the Iron Man saga then it ends of a worthy note.

No masterpiece but a fun and worthy start to Marvel's Phase 2.

One of Woody Allen's sharpest and most entertaining movies of his later period. Great fun with terrific performances from it's stellar cast.

Michael Redgrave gives an unforgettable performance in Asquith's adaptation of Rattigan's play. A truly masterful and emotional telling, marking this as one of the best British movies of all time.
