Silent House (2011)
Mar 9, 2012Haunted House
A haunted house film that comes with the novelty of being shot entirely in one take. This delivers some okay but in the end you appreciate it more for its technical novelty than producing scares
Elizabeth Olsen
Red Lights (2012)
Jul 9, 2012Psychic Debunkers
Strong, well-written film from Buried director Rodrigo Cortes about investigators of psychic frauds encountering a possibly real example. This takes a welcomely sceptical, rationalist perspective, has a great cast and fine build-up but alas falls apart in a lame twist ending
Oldboy (2013)
Nov 29, 2013Imprisonment and Revenge
Spike Lee's English-language remake of Oldboy is an abortion. Where Park Chan-Wook directed the original with an insane energy, whereas Lee only delivers a formula action film and fumbles the ending
Godzilla (2014)
May 17, 2014Giant Monster Bash
A slightly different beast to its Japanese counterparts and an impressive revival of the series. Gareth Edwards, who made the excellent Monsters, delivers mass destruction on a mind-bogglingly vast scale in ways that approach painterly beauty

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Aug 10, 2019Marvel Comics Superhero Team-Up
Marvel conclude the cliffhanger they left Avengers: Infinity War on and offer up a bigger-than-big line-up, overspilling with just about every MCU character to ever appear on screen up to that point
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Jul 1, 2022Marvel Comics Magician Superhero
Doctor Strange was one of the better MCU films. Here Sam Raimi takes over in the director's chair. This readily delves into multiverse themes but requires a major crash course in a plethora of Marvel tv series to follow
The Assessment (2024)
Jun 27, 2025Future Couple Undergo Assessment for a Child
An hilariously black, deadpan film set in a future as a couple undergo assessment for whether they are fit to be parents. This involves Alicia Vikander moving into the house and play-acting being a child with absolutely chaotic effect
