Letterboxd — Your life in film

Walks the line between earnestness and sanctimony, and in doing so unseats The Hurt Locker as the most gripping, troubling and emotionally affecting war drama to be made so far this century.

Blockbuster filmmaking at it's finest, THE AVENGERS is pure, unadulterated fun. Not only the action phenomenal, but the script is terrific (and often hilarious). Whedon takes Thor's Hammer and knocks it out of the park

Pure style

Pheobe Cates' "Why I Hate Christmas" scene contains one of the best monologues in film history

If you love horror movies, then you will love Cabin in the Woods. Not because it's scary (although it is), but because it loves horror movies too.

A gruesome, greasy bucket-load of uninhibited tastelessness...and I mean that it the best possible way

Awesome despite it's ludicrous third act reveal. Cinematography, structure reflect Fincher, Nolan

Although Kristen Stewart is dreadful and what I thought was epic sound work turned out to just be a minor earthquake, Snow White & the Huntsman still turns out to be a surprisingly compelling action/fantasy film with a consistent pace, effective atmosphere and commanding visuals galore.

A stock standard ghost story, but it works because you actually care about the characters

Could have been edited down significantly, but still quite funny and occasionally rather insightful. Free champaign and cupcakes at the screening didn't hurt

Cute and charming, in a simplistic, vaguely condescending kind of way

While its ambition should be applauded, Prometheus is a bitter disappointment; a film that fails to live up to its own lofty aspirations or the legacy of the masterpiece it precedes. Heightened expectations aside, it contains a dearth of three-dimensional characters and is hamstrung by a script that never really attempts to address its own questions, be they of grand celestial importance or basic narrative mechanics
