  • Star Trek Into Darkness 2013

    ★★★★½ Watched 15 May, 2013

    Another solid entry in the new generation of old generation Star Trek from JJ Abrams. Perhaps a little too much fan service, but lots of great nods to the past while staying firmly unique in their vision. See it before you can hear any spoilers.

  • Iron Man 3 2013

    ★★★★★ Watched 02 May, 2013

    This is pretty much everything that Iron Man 2 was not. I don't want to say too much, because anything I could say would be a spoiler.

    Tony Stark is in the finest form he's ever been in. Deeply funny, amazing action, and there isn't really a good time to run out for a pee break, since between action sequences there is a lot of great expository dialogue that you'll regret missing.

    Oh, and you really should make sure you've seen The Avengers before watching this.

  • The Perks of Being a Wallflower 2012

    ★★★★★ Watched 16 Nov, 2012 2

    There are movies, not many, that affect me in unexpected ways and leave me feeling emotionally raw. American Beauty and Magnolia are two particularly egregious examples. Tonight, I get to add The Perks of Being a Wallflower to that list.

    It is so, so good, but I feel like I've passed a kidney stone out of my chest. I do not put movies into the same group as American Beauty and Magnolia lightly, as those are among my favourite films.…

  • Looper 2012

    ★★★★★ Watched 28 Sep, 2012

    A smart, complex and layered story with amazing action: what more could one ask for to start the autumn movie-watching season? This is the best sci-fi movie since Moon, rich in detail and a joy to watch unfold.
