Planet Terror (2007)

Planet Terror, along with its excellent cast, a perfectly suited soundtrack as well as its gritty and unique visuals provides its audience with a truly entertaining and violent film throughout the entirety of its runtime.

Warm Bodies (2013)

Partially charming yet extremely dry, "Warm Bodies" exhibited much potential; however, its narrative fell short. Despite its many weaknesses, it was a fresh and unique take on the traditional zombie genre with a highly loveable principle character as well as a few sparse laughs.

Drive (2011)

Slow but perfectly paced, Drive was riveting from the excellent opening scene to its dramatic conclusion. Ryan G. surpassed all expectations and provided a truly incredible and unique performance. The film was beautifully shot and showcased an excellent and suiting soundtrack.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)

A phenomenal and beautifully portrayed documentary concentrating on Jiro Ono. Throughout its entirety, I was utterly mesmerized by his vigorous work ethic, his sheer passion towards his craft as well as the pressure applied to those functioning alongside him. Truly inspiring.

End of Watch (2012)

Although far from perfect, End of Watch was a unique and entertaining adaptation of the often redundant "buddy cop" genre. The film was crammed with plenty of excellent action sequences as well as genuine and comical dialogue. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña were an ideal duo.

Gentlemen Broncos (2009)

Jared Hess is truly accomplished in presenting quirky and endearing tales full of lovable and charming characters, in which Gentlemen Broncos is no exception. From the excellent opening credits to the bizarre fictional scenes, the film was very enjoyable and cast to perfection.

Slackers (2002)

Offered countless laughs by means of juvenile and inane humour while still presenting a moderately charming love narrative. Jason Schwartzman portrayed the ideal deranged and psychotic instigator, in which he was truly the highlight of the film. Segel has aged extremely well.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Brilliant and utterly unique, Monty Python and the Holy Grail offers ridiculous and intelligent humour, characters and dialogue throughout its entirety. The hilarious opening credits had me instantly captivated and the remainder of the film continued to uphold its witty charm.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Enjoyable yet overall, disappointing. The Dark Knight Rises offered many excellent scenes, particularly the Bane introduction; however, it suffered many inconsistencies and felt rather long. Regardless, it was a satisfying finish to an excellent trilogy. Viva Michael Caine.

God Bless America (2011)

Sharing similarities to Bonnie and Clyde and Léon: The Professional, God Bless America was both violent and comical while providing a unique and strangely touching narrative. Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr were an unusual yet ideal pair and truly made the film enjoyable.

21 Jump Street (2012)

21 Jump Street surpassed my expectations and was truly enjoyable. I found myself laughing throughout regardless of the far from perfect (yet still fun) plot. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum were perfectly paired and both presented loveable and charming characters.

Prometheus (2012)

With the exception of the incredible visuals, Prometheus was extremely disappointing. The characters were dry and the story was filled with many holes throughout. The only redeeming factors were Michael Fassbender's performance and the final few seconds of the film.

The Raid (2011)

From beginning to end, the Raid: Redemption was full of excellent and incredibly well-choreographed action sequences, plenty of gore and even provided a slightly entertaining plot (although a bit thin, which was to be expected). Absolutely blew away my expectations.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

Moonrise Kingdom was a cute and endearing love story filled with unique characters and dialogue, excellent visuals and as always, a perfectly matched score. It's exactly what we've come to expect from a Wes Anderson film.

World's Greatest Dad (2009)

Dark, funny and highly enjoyable. The film was filled with witty dialogue and a strangely touching story. World's Greatest Dad was extremely well written and truly allowed for Robin Williams to shine.
