Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (2013)

79%

4/5

EDIT

“This is a fascinating insight into the Hollywood machine through terrific old footage of some iconic faces. But it's Shep himself who makes this film so engaging.” –

Pudsey the Dog: The Movie (2014)

2/5

EDIT

“Oddly, the animal action takes a back seat to second-rate family drama, and kids hoping for 90 minutes of canine capers could get restless.” –

Victoria (2015)

82%

4/5

EDIT

“The performances are great, particularly from Costa and Lau, and carry the film as much as the dizzyingly audacious camerawork.” –

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)

High-Rise (2015)

Rock the Kasbah (2015)

2/5

EDIT

“It's neither funny nor feelgood, but its biggest crime is wasting Murray, left trying to mine laughs from unfunny circumstances.” –

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

91%

4/5

EDIT

“The cast are superb but the biggest plaudits go to Goodman who is phenomenal, giving one of his finest performances. This sharp, slick shocker is massively entertaining.” –

Anomalisa (2015)

92%

3/5

EDIT

“It's a slow movie that won't be for everyone. But for those looking to have their minds engorged with ideas and intuition, Anomalisa is a well of inspiration.” –

The Witch (2015)

91%

3/5

EDIT

“Don't expect any jumpscares here or to leave the cinema particularly terrified. The Witch is a slow-burner of weirdness in the wilderness and unlike any recent horror film.” –

Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)

4/5

EDIT

“Kung Fu Panda 3 makes sure to continue the tradition of being perfectly pleasant for parents to sit through after being dragged to the multiplex by their kids.” –

London Has Fallen (2016)

“If you're in the mood for some vicious violence and ridiculous action, then this sequel to Olympus Has Fallen will tick every box.” –

Hail, Caesar! (2016)

86%

3/5

EDIT

“After the Coens' Inside Llewyn Davis, True Grit and A Serious Man, it's great to see them return to lighter fare. Even if this is far from classic Coens.” –

The Benefactor (2015)

“The price of Gere's good looks is his acting skills don't quite match them.” –

King Jack (2015)

3/5

EDIT

“What elevates this indie film is Boardwalk Empire's Charlie Plummer, with something of the young DiCaprio about him.” –

Secret in Their Eyes (2015)

39%

2/5

EDIT

“This is a pale imitation of the Oscar-winning Argentinian original that can't breathe any new life into familiar territory.” –

The Forest (2016)

10%

2/5

EDIT

“A shame then that despite some flair for impressive visuals, first-time director Jason Zada can't muster much in the way of actual horror, which is kind of a problem when you're making a horror movie.” –

The Brothers Grimsby (2016)

4/5

EDIT

“Sacha Baron Cohen pushes the comedy envelope as far as he can with his latest creation in this rude, crude and utterly outrageous comedy” –
