4/5
“If films like this stop being funded altogether in favour of crowd-pleasers rather than crowd-challengers, we're damned. That's your most plausible dystopian future, folks.” –

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

4/5
“Where J.J. Abrams sought to give this new trilogy a firm but predictable foundation to build upon, Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi is a risk-taker. This is to be applauded absolutely.” –

“As one patron put it, "Well, it's not the worst movie I've ever seen...". Yeah, but it's certainly one of the most disappointing in recent memory-- and it was wholly avoidable.” –

“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.” –

“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.” –

Ghost in the Shell (2017)

3.5/5
“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.” –

“[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.” –

Logan (2017)

4.5/5
“Mangold and Jackman bring integrity and ability to an increasingly stale and pandering genre, closing out Jackman's Wolverine with dignity and poise. That's more that most of us can hope for when we're 170-plus years old, right?” –

“There is a good movie somewhere in Live By Night - one with an engaging plot and characters you actually care about. It's very obvious just how thin Affleck was spreading himself. (Reviewer: Chris Neill)” –

La La Land (2016)

9/10
“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.” –

“Long-time fans won't be disappointed with Paterson; Jarmusch's trademark dry wit and attention to mood are all over it ... a beautifully modest movie and one of the best portraits of a working-class American you'll ever see. (Reviewer: Chris Neill)” –

“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.” –

“Dense, energetically presented and wonderful - though as my friend suggested, for those first five minutes you'd be forgiven for thinking Anderson was retreading his old tropes a few too many times. Those feelings disappear by the sixth minute.” –
