#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!"

#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"

#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"

#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"

"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!"

#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
