The Death of Stalin | Seventh Art Studio | Victor Pineyro | Filled with political correctness, the dramatic points feel way more effective than the comedy. Absolutely gorgeous production design. [Full review in Spanish] | 6/10 | 10 | 6 | 10 | false | 5 | 10 | 1 | 2,177 |
The Favourite | Seventh Art Studio | Victor Pineyro | The Favourite shows us a perfection addict Yorgos Lanthimos. A filmmaker with enough maturity to transmit the most raw feelings of human reality accompanied by satire. [Full review in Spanish] | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 8 | 10 | 1 | 2,177 |
The Gentlemen | Seventh Art Studio | Victor Pineyro | I never imagined this filme would have so much to do with the art of storytelling. [Full review in Spanish] | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 6 | 10 | 1 | 2,177 |

The Rental | Seventh Art Studio | Victor Pineyro | What makes this movie stand out is that its main characters are their own real villains. A very effective thriller adapted to the modern era of renting vacation houses. [Full review in Spanish] | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 6 | 10 | 1 | 2,177 |
Us | Seventh Art Studio | Victor Pineyro | A masterly double life feature that shows a comparison between good/evil, light/darkness, beautiful/putrid, and dance/violence. [Full review in Spanish] | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 7 | 10 | 1 | 2,177 |
Venom | Seventh Art Studio | Victor Pineyro | Predictable and repeated story. Venom without Spider-Man is lame. The film relapses into the absurd and gives us 0 connection between Eddie Brock and Venom. [Full review in Spanish] | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 4 | 10 | 1 | 2,177 |
You Were Never Really Here | Seventh Art Studio | Victor Pineyro | What seems to be an ode to crime/noir, prefers to take a different more personal path into the intimacy of its main character, whom never makes catharsis. Visually stunning. [Full review in Spanish] | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 6 | 10 | 1 | 2,177 |

First Cow | Seventh Row | Orla Smith | A friendship between humans instead of human and animal is a rarity in Reichardt's films, so this story of genuine friendship is particularly lovely. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,178 |
Iris | Seventh Row | Alex Heeney | Full of humour and warmth, [Iris] is a delight, and sure to pique your interest in more audacious outfits. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,178 |
Night Moves | Seventh Row | Alex Heeney | [Night Moves] can be a bit one-note at times, but watching the characters live in and respond to the trouble they've caused for themselves is half the fun. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,178 |
Blade of the Immortal (Mugen no jûnin) | Shadow and Act | Dylan Green | This results in an adaptation that should be an exciting film of revenge and redemption, but feels like a quirky slog of a chambara film that we've seen before, but with extra blood. | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 4 | 10 | 1 | 2,179 |

Top Five | Shadow and Act | Michael Jones | Overall, I appreciate what this film does in showcasing a more serious Chris Rock. I think it's his best film to date. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,180 |
Almost Christmas | Shadow and Act | Aramide Tinubu | Almost Christmas follows a series of predictable twists, that doesn't negate its charm. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 2,181 |

Anger Management | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | Yes, it's funny, but it never bothers to make much out of its ingredients. | 2.5/4 | 4 | 2.5 | 4 | false | 3 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |
16 Blocks | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | This is such solid filmmaking that even the plot improbabilities and too-steady pace don't ruin it. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |
Black Snake Moan | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | Moody and full of atmosphere, this film has a terrific premise, but no plot to speak of. It's an intriguing character study, beautifully filmed and acted but ultimately somewhat empty. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |
Charlotte's Web | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | The writers and director get the balance right, never tipping over into either sentiment or preachiness. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | You feel this film straining to be another 8 Mile, even as it never gets into the head of its central character | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |
Ghosts of the Abyss | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | It's frustrating that Cameron couldn't make a proper documentary, because the footage is astonishingly beautiful, the subject matter is compelling and the timing is eerily relevant. | 2.5/4 | 4 | 2.5 | 4 | false | 3 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | The frantic action keeps us watching, although it's exhausting--like watching a feature-length trailer. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |

Requiem for a Dream | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | An audacious tale of addiction and self-destruction that starts as a quiet examination of normal life and then builds to a crescendo of unspeakable horror.

All The Wilderness | Shadows on the Wall | Rich Cline | More like a visual poem than a fully formed exploration of grief, guilt, teen angst or feeling like an outsider | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,182 |
Apostle | She Likes Movies | Katie Hogan | A mixture of 'hell is other people' and 'there's something nasty in the woodshed' vibe, I was surprised and honestly, scared. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,183 |
Greta | She Likes Movies | Katie Hogan | With Isabelle Huppert as Greta, the mystery and charm that surrounds the character is already built into her persona. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,183 |

Let It Snow | She Likes Movies | Katie Hogan | With moments of sweetness, outweighing the blandness of the overall feeling of the film, the little tiny moments of comedy are welcome and actually start to make you enjoy the film despite the very obvious messages it is sending... | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,183 |
One for the Money | She Likes Movies | Katie Hogan | In all honesty, this film did not have my attention. I was bored after 10 minutes and I really didn't care what was happening. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 5 | 1 | 2,183 |
Shirkers | She Likes Movies | Katie Hogan | The fact that everyone knows each other quite well, there is no holding back which gives the film and the story overall an extra added layer of truth despite the main mystery never being told, only speculation is left. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,183 |
The Laundromat | She Likes Movies | Katie Hogan | The film lacks a direction and instead feels like several different stories that don't quite knit together and because of the subject just left me very angry and dissatisfied. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2,183 |
Wounds | She Likes Movies | Katie Hogan | The plot is convoluted and never decides what the story is really about, which just makes you feel excluded from the story. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2,183 |
The Adjustment Bureau | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | Damon and Blunt have so much chemistry, the screen practically melts when they look at each other. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 2,184 |
Cars 2 | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | This is also one of the most violent Pixar films, with cars being shot at, thrown into the ocean to drown and dying. Yes, dying. It tries to be a Bond film, but when was the last time you let your five-year-old watch one of those? | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 2,184 |
Fast Five | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | Making sure the audience knows that the writers ''get it'' with a little humor and some crazy action makes the silliness easy to forgive and fun to watch. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,184 |
Take Me Home Tonight | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | It's not high art. It's not going to move you to save the world. But if you like films from that era, you'll be laughing your ass off. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,184 |
The Eagle | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | Channing Tatum, with his usual deadpan expression, can't decide if he's going to speak normally or try out that British accent he learned in school. He floats back and forth between them and it's a disaster. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 2,184 |
The Tree of Life | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | ...like watching the most attractive person you've ever seen in your life tell the most boring, drawn-out story you've ever heard. It made me want to grab Malick by the shoulders and yell, "Focus!" | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,184 |
True Grit | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | What you don't get from the commercials is how wonderfully funny it is. Of course, you expect something like this from the Coen brothers.

Unknown | SheKnows Network | Jenna Busch | I hesitate to be this brutal, but there is really no way around it. January Jones was just terrible. She barely moves her face, she seemingly has no emotion, even during a life or death moment, and her scenes with Neeson were just...creepy. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 2,184 |

Frozen | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Frozen is horrifying and brutal at times but without ever losing sight of important things like creating characters you really care about whether they live or die. | 7.5/10 | 10 | 7.5 | 10 | false | 13 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
The Haunting in Connecticut | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Hopes for a haunted house thriller that intelligently delves into supernatural territory are usurped by an abundance of cheap scares and a plot derivative of far superior predecessors. | 4.5/10 | 10 | 4.5 | 10 | false | 7 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
My Soul to Take | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Easily the worst movie of Craven's career and not even remotely scary or creepy or any of the things you expect from a good horror movie. | 2/10 | 10 | 2 | 10 | false | 2 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Attack the Block | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Todd Gilchrist | Cornish's film stands on its own and also fits comfortably into a proud cinematic tradition; it owes nothing to any antecedent, and yet feels like the latest in a lineage of crowd-pleasers. | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 16 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (AVP 2) | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | An uninventive, unexciting and ultimately ineffective follow-up ... We can only hope that the sub-title means that this moneymaking farce is finally over. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 6 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Awake | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | With better actors in the two main roles, this movie would probably have been great, but with Christensen and Alba, it's just okay. | 6.5/10 | 10 | 6.5 | 10 | false | 11 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Black Rock | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Todd Gilchrist | Black Rock makes subtle changes that distinguish it as a marginally more thoughtful stalking killer movie, but horror fans will find its twists and turns too familiar to leave a lasting impression. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 6 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Dark Shadows | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Your enjoyment may depend entirely on how much seeing Depp as a vampire makes up for the weak storytelling. | 6.5/10 | 10 | 6.5 | 10 | false | 11 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Deliver Us from Evil | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | There isn't a ton of reinventing the wheel in terms of demonic possession or the police procedural, but the combination of those two genres makes it far more satisfying than it might have been otherwise. | 7.5/10 | 10 | 7.5 | 10 | false | 13 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Halloween | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Fans will be chomping at the bit waiting for the slaughter to begin ... it's hard not to walk away feeling disappointed about the return of Michael Myers. | 6/10 | 10 | 6 | 10 | false | 10 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Mama | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | A better than average horror premise and some clever bits that are often enough to make up for the more obvious moments that foray into cliché territory. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Monsters | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Todd Gilchrist | Monsters feels a little bit like the end result of an adaptation of War of the Worlds that Steven Spielberg might have made back when he still had the limited resources and boundless inventiveness of his Jaws days | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 14 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Paranormal Activity 4 | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | The filmmakers now realize they can just do the exact same thing for a fourth time and the fans will eat it up, even if it does nothing to move the overall story forward. | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 8 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
ParaNorman | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Solid storytelling, clever humor and incredible craftsmanship and animation skills puts ParaNorman a few steps above the normal kid-friendly fare. | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 14 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Red State | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | For better or worse, Red State just doesn't have the elements we expect from a Kevin Smith movie, and horror fans will feel especially ripped off with how little the film resembles anything that may be deemed conventional horror. | 5.5/10 | 10 | 5.5 | 10 | false | 9 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Red White & Blue | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Todd Gilchrist | Red White & Blue succeeds because it shows you the devastating violence that can be wrought against others, as well as the depths of humanity that its perpetrator can possess. | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 16 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Silent House | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | The type of horror film that will build a substantial unscalable wall between those who love it and those who hate it, although even the latter group should be able to appreciate it for the incredible craft at work. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Sinister 2 | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | A classic case of sophomore slump, where a clever well-developed idea is diluted by trying to expand on it in order to build a franchise. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 6 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Sinister | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Offers enough seriously scary moments to feel somewhat fresh due to the way Derickson blends overused horror clichés with more original and disturbing visuals. | 7.5/10 | 10 | 7.5 | 10 | false | 13 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | This grisly, grim and ghoulish gothic tale of vengeance is a thoroughly entertaining gore-filled experience, whether you're a fan of musicals or not. | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 16 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Teeth | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | [Keeps] the viewer entertained with a mix of suspense and humor, but not exactly 'date night' material, because it's doubtful anyone will be having sex right after seeing it. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
The Awakening | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | A haunting film and Rebecca Hall's performance is something that sets it apart from other recent ghost story movies, but the ending may leave you more confused than thrilled. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
The Green Inferno | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | A fun and interesting twist on the travelogue sub-genre of horror ... far better than many horror movies with twice the budget. | 7.5/10 | 10 | 7.5 | 10 | false | 13 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |

The Thing | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Van Heijningen does a fine job recreating the look and tone of Carpenter's film, and there's enough alien-infested craziness to keep this prequel entertaining. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Todd Gilchrist | Eli Craig's feature debut celebrates genre conventions while turning the traditional view of horror-movie heroes and villains upside down. | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 14 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
Twilight | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Essentially, a CW take on Anne Rice, catering to the gooey-eyed fans of Meyer's novels and their unrealistic romantic expectations. | 4.5/10 | 10 | 4.5 | 10 | false | 7 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
The Uninvited | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | Too derivative and laden with plot twists to be effective, it's hard to enjoy this cluttered remake knowing how much better the original movie is. | 6/10 | 10 | 6 | 10 | false | 10 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |
You're Next | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Edward Douglas | While the filmmakers clearly did their homework on how to make a scary gorefest, they fail to give us something that feels particularly new or different. | 5.5/10 | 10 | 5.5 | 10 | false | 9 | 19 | 2 | 2,186 |

Paranormal Activity 2 | ShockTillYouDrop.com | Perri Nemiroff | Paranormal Activity 2 is precisely what a horror sequel should be, a quality film that takes the terrifying concept of the original and raises the stakes - big time. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 2,187 |
La La Land | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | LA LA Land joins the ranks of other great, hard-working musicals that sit on the periphery of the cinema landscape ... a refreshing reminder that superheroes aren't the only people jumping around in spandex on screens these days. | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 8 | 10 | 1 | 2,188 |
A Cure For Wellness | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | [A Cure For Wellness] doesn't just stretch the limits of plausibility, it punches plausibility in the guts, pushes it into a river and waves goodbye. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | Frankly, if it gets kids talking about history again, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter succeeds where a lot of other films stumble-and even if it's kind of a lame duck, there's still a lot of dignity in that. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Alien: Covenant | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | We know where the aliens come from. We know how the sausage is made. In this, the dread that is drawn from that dark place in the heart - the fear of the unknown - is gone forever. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | For a film that goes out of its way to proselytise about the pratfalls of pandering to the audience's expectations simply for the easy bucks, Anchorman 2 does just that. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Assassin's Creed | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | A waste of time, money, effort and talent - and yet another reminder that games and film are two very distinct mediums that rarely should or do coalesce. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 1 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Baby Driver | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | It delights me to report that Baby Driver is a monumental f---ing triumph. This is the best action movie of 2017 and the best thing Wright has done to date. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Beasts of the Southern Wild | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | This is a film that manages that rare bridge between end-of-days epic and intimate humanist storytelling - fantastical but still just rooted enough to be depressingly plausible. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Bully | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | Is it fair to criticize a documentary for being too persuasive when the subject matter is not only genuinely tragic - and tragically widespread - but also so rarely brought into the public domain? That's the question I struggle with. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Cosmopolis | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | For one of the smartest films I've seen in a while, Cosmopolis is also one of the least outwardly enjoyable. That by no means makes it anything less than a great film however. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Dark Shadows | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | Dark Shadows is never short on stunning backdrops and impressive cinematographic techniques. It looks a treat. But with Dark Shadows, like Depp himself, you can only put so much make-up on an ageing face and sell it as fresh. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Django Unchained | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | This is a wonderful film - it is, but once in a while someone needed to tap Q on the shoulder and tell him to ease up off the gas.

Doctor Strange | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | However, it achieves a flavor of its own; it feels like its own unique superheroic proposition, and that's impressive in its own right. Frankly, I'd take this spiffy red cape over Clark Kent's any day of the week. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Dredd | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | If you're the kind of person who scrunches their nose at heads exploding, people being torn apart and blood spilling like an out-of-control fire hose, you might want to return to reading your copy of '50 Shades' and leave this one to the professionals. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Ghost in the Shell | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | You might balk at the over-simplification of the original's complex morality and shocking violence. In the same breath, you're just as likely to applaud the wise decision to carefully reconstruct the source material's most iconic, unforgettable moments. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Grudge Match | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | If it left out the sugary moments, it would have been a solid comedic romp about former rivals finding pride and peace through punching the geriatric juice out of each other. (Review: Nathalie Lawson) | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
Hit & Run | Shotgun Cinema | Patrick Kolan | If Hit & Run is guilty of being generic, it's arguably the best kind of generic: inoffensive, well made and probably a lot more fun than Joe Critic is likely to admit. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,189 |
