It's engaging and involving.

Wild

The editing is beautiful; it's cut with a real jazzy twang to it.

Whiplash

[filmskermodelikes]

An interesting film, made into something better by the strength of its central performances.

Grand Central

[filmskermodelikes]

It gets better with time. One of David Fincher's finest works.

Zodiac

[filmskermodelikes]

A smart, intelligent, proper blockbuster.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

[filmskermodelikes]

A solid adaptation of a difficult text.

The Fault in Our Stars

[filmskermodelikes]

Really charming, really moving and really touching.

Begin Again

[filmskermodelikes]

Wonderful. Linklater is one of the very few directors who has not just the talent, not just the skill, not just the patience, but the heart to do it.

Boyhood

[filmskermodelikes]

A real gem.

Made in Dagenham

[filmskermodelikes]

Trips from one genre to another with incredible aplomb.

Side Effects

[filmskermodelikes]

Good fun and visually interesting.

Oz the Great and Powerful

[filmskermodelikes]

Strangely sweet, melancholic and really quite charming.

Robot & Frank

[filmskermodelikes]

I laughed consistently all the way through it.

The Guilt Trip

[filmskermodelikes]

Still holds up after all this time, despite its minuscule budget.

Hellraiser

[filmskermodelikes]

Worth seeing to remind yourself exactly how horror-comedy can be done in a way which is smart, funny and pithy.

Shaun of the Dead

[filmskermodelikes]

It's one of the best found-footage movies I've seen.

The Bay

[filmskermodelikes]

It's so ripe with Freudian and Jungian symbolism, almost everything in it becomes incredibly meaningful.
