The Amazing Spiderman 2
The Amazing Spider Man 2 is a difficult one to review. Building on the first film in every conceivable way, it's the classic 'more is...
Noah
Noah, considering the rather short story it is based on, is long, bum-achingly long. Darren Aronofsky takes his fascination with delving...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier

American Hustle
American Hustle is a classy 70's crime caper. Awesome performances from Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper and a show stealing role from...
