#31 - Atari: Game Over [doc] (2014)

"A short but engaging slice of Atari history peppered with interesting and often quite bizarre tales, accumulating with literally unearthing the legendary E.T cartridge from a mountain of waste. Great fun!"

- 7/10

#30 - San Andreas (2015)

"Watches like someone fed all the disaster movie cliches into an AI which then churned out the script as a result. Staggeringly insulting, even to the most casual film audience"


- 3.5/10

#29 - 22 Bullets (2013)

"At the base of this uneven gangster story is an intriguing premise of redemption that is never fully realised or fully earned. Reno excels but the rest is white noise"


- 5/10

#28 - The Belko Experiment (2017)

"Flitting between seriously vicious and darkly comical without fully committing to either, the film (just like half of the characters) seems unsure exactly what it wants to do"

- 6/10

#27 - Triangle (2009)

"Interest is kept by a drip fed plot that enjoys a slightly different spin on the 'time loop' trope, but this slowly sinks upon a closer inspection"

- 5.5/10

#26 - The Fisherman [short] (2015)

"Good shorts makes us pine for more and this does that. A simmering story rocking on tranquil waves builds to creature feature delight - I want more!"


- 8/10

#25 - Six Shooter [short] 2004

"Dialogue so sharp it cuts to bone. A viciously entertaining and pitch black comedy framed around the complexity of death and our reactions to it"

- 9/10

#24 - Unlocked (2017)

"The cast deserve better in this predictable spy thriller that signposts its twists and cliches despite indulging in perplexing 'why?' moments of script convenience"


- 4/10

#23 - Razorback (1984)

"Strewn throughout this Jaws-inspired creature feature are only glimpses of both fun and the monster. A muddled focus dulls the gritty intensity"


- 5.5/10

#22 - The Commuter (2018)

"The plot derails faster than Liam Neeson cashing in his cheque for this baffling attempt of a thriller. All change next stop"


- 4/10

#21 - Shrooms (2007)

"The vanilla set up leads only to headache inducing quick cuts and desperate editing. Stale, predictable, yawn-inducing, and ultimately forgotten"


 - 3/10

#20 - Don't Look Away [short] (2017)

"Short and straight to it, a promising start is dimmed by a combination of sub-par acting and flat framing" 

- 5/10

#19 - The Babysitter (2017)

"Gore may be the skin to this vessel, but the strong skeleton is a brilliant coming-of-age story"


- 8/10 

#18 - Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

"What could have been a bland, insipid affair is brought to life with a cast clearly enjoying themselves" 


- 7/10

#17 - Nightmare City (1987)

"A perplexing factory-made renegade cop film that dips its toes in dystopia, confusion, and unmeaning hilarity" 


- 5/10

#16 - The Similars (2015)

"A claustrophobic cabin fever-like curiosity  surges into a surrealistic joy anchored down by Hitchcockian styling"


- 6/10

#15 - The Shape of Water (2017)

"At times whimsical, but ultimately satisfying. An endearing piece flooded with luciferous and unapologetic optimism"


- 8/10

#14 - Here Alone (2017)

"Gently suffused with dread. Feelings of melancholy and tenacity duel to a bleak finale"


- 5.5/10

#13 - Happy Hunting (2017)

"Grindhouse styling runs rampant before drunkenly swerving into social commentary without the shakes"

- 6/10

#12 - Streets of Crocodile [short] (1986)

"Stop motion static! The puppets ooze worry as the violin sings uneasiness"


- 8.5/10

#11 - His Name Was Arthur Leigh Allen [documentary] (2008)

"Food for thought, another intriguing layer to the indecipherable Zodiac puzzle" 

#10 - Beast of the Bering Sea (2013)

"Not even hokey aquatic cryptid CGI sifts the boredom away"

 - 3/10

   

#9 Visiting Hours (1982)

"In a ward of slashers, this passes without notice"


- 4/10
 

#8 - Delicatessen (1991)

"A delightfully juxtaposed 
smorgasbord of hope and despair"


- 9/10   

#7 - All the Money in the World (2018)

"Performances amputate quality from an average body"


- 6.5/10

#6 - Okja (2017)

"A triptych of morals; wagyu quality"


- 9/10

#5 - The Space Between Us [short] 2015

"Aquatic strange is new desire" 


- 7/10

#4 - Rakka [short] (2017)
