Good stuff.

This Netflix horror film seemed greatly anticipated but I found it average at best with little given by way of explanation for the supernatural events. 

I wasn't sure about this one at first but it won me over come the finish. A solid post-apocalyptic film.

This one went the opposite way to Oblivion for me. It was a good film most of the way through but this one really lost me with the ending, which left what appeared to be the main plot of the film completely unresolved. It's the kind of ending that actually makes me hate the whole movie. 

Entertaining biopic of Hitchcock focusing on the production of Psycho. 

 

Disturbing and brilliant. 

A little too long but a compelling if inaccurate thriller about the war on terror and hunt for Bin Laden. 

Another Hitchcock masterpiece. 

Not as a comedic as advertised, but a solid drama. 

Everything online would point to this actually being worse than The Bourne Legacy, but I actually found it a massive return to form after that largely boring fourth movie. You could perhaps call it an unnecessary movie but far from a bad one. 

This is a quite messed up psychological thriller. There's not much that can be said about it without spoiling plot twists. 

It's unarguable given too much of a feel good theme to accurately portray the racism of those times, but overall it's a compelling movie about the space race and the unsung contributions of African-American women (especially the woman in the centre of the poster). Jim Parsons feels typecast as a Sheldon Cooper type character though.
