The Imitation Game review
The Babadook review
BEST NEW FEATURE
The last horror movie I watched was last year's The Conjuring, but even that can't compete with the spine-tingling horrors of The Babadook, an Australian film which has received heavy acclaim everywhere it screened. So, does it deserve all those accolades? Oh yes.
Catching Up: Locke

Nightcrawler review
BEST NEW FEATURE
Released at the very end of October, Dan Gilroy's Nightcrawler is a film that I waited far too long to catch, being among the best-received wide releases of the year. I am glad to have finally managed to watch it, as Nightcrawler is excellent, from its sleek cinematography to the brilliant performance at its centre.Wednesday 24 December 2014
Whiplash review
BEST NEW FEATURE
At long last, I catch Whiplash, a film that I've been anticipating for a long time. It's garnered some Oscar buzz, and it's warranted: Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Whiplash is going to make frequent appearances on the nominee list. Between its riveting direction, and strong performances from its stars, Whiplash is one of the year's best movies.Sunday 21 December 2014

Birdman, or (The Unexpected Value of Ignorance) review
BEST NEW FEATURE
Director Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman has gotten a lot of attention lately, and for good reason. The film is an exciting piece of work, exploding with style and boasting a surplus of ideas woven together into a layered narrative. It's by far one of the greatest films of the year.Sorry for the delay, by the way.

Jodorowsky's Dune review
BEST NEW FEATURE
I'm not very good at reviewing documentaries, I feel, but here's another go at it with Jodorowsky's Dune.Snowpiercer review
I finally caught the indie action-sci fi film Snowpiercer. In this age of overblown carnage-porn that makes up blockbuster action movies, Snowpiercer is a breath of fresh air that blows its big-budget contemporaries out of the water.
