The D Train (2015)
★★1/2

I believe I have seen every film with Jack Black in it because of his funny and charismatic presence - and when he displays his acting range (Bernie), it's a treat. I did not expect The D Train to be very good, I just wanted to see Jack Black busting out some chops. Jack Black does give a good performance, but the film is a . . .
Cult Classic: Repo Man (1984)
★★★★
What defines a cult classic? It's a term applied to many films, all different from each other in many ways - there's a clue: originality. Repo Man is not only a funny and surreal film from the 80's, it's also an original and genuinely great film.

6 Years (2015)
★★★
6 Years is a realistic look at relationships that started young, and begin to face the "real world" when growing up. Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield put two excellent performances in this slice-of-life coming-of-age story. Think Like Crazy à la Sofia Coppola.
Melanie and Dan move through parties, talk to their . . .
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
★★★
Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation is high-quality Hollywood escapism, an enjoyable summer popcorn movie better than most blockbusters. On the flipside, it's a damn shame that that is all it is. The great thing about Rogue Nation is that I really enjoyed it while watching it. The not-so-great thing is that as the day went by, any . . .
The Heart Machine (2015)
★★★
The Heart Machine is a clever little film, a long-distance relationship drama wrapped up in a mystery format. It's tonally interesting, moving into some dark places, but is above all an enjoyable yet forgettable indie film.
John Gallagher Jr. plays the main character Cody and Kate Lyn Sheil plays Virginia, Cody's . . .
Fantastic Four (2015)
★
The best thing about Fantastic Four is it's run time. Aside from that, it's just a bad, dumb movie. At 106 minutes, it's far shorter than most superhero films of recent - in fact, the entire third act could have been scrapped, second act extended and given more thought and characterisation, and the film still would have . . .
Trailer Watch: Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Are "By The Sea"

It seems like a new trend is appearing, a throwback to 70's psychodramas. Alex Ross Perry's Queen Of Earth, as well as the darker Goodnight Mommy directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala. The trailer that sees Hollywood power-couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reunite on the silver screen for the first time in ten years . . .
