Joss Whedon's operatic and fantastic Marvel adaptation is the stuff we all want when we go to the multiplex. Witty, thought-provoking and incredibly intense action make this one incredibly rewarding.

A film that at once has you believing you are watching a standard but solid thriller and then turns the film completely on its head into a black comedy at the same time. Great balance of style and execution and a really fun and suspenseful film You can hear me and a friend discuss this film and many more over at The Last Picture Show Podcast: http://bit.ly/AkDYC0

A film of great moral and ethical complexity that manages to exist both as a purely entertaining who-dun-it but also as a provocative inquiry into ideas of truth, justice and morality.

A brutal and unflinching directorial debut from Paddy Considine. Whilst not perfect, the film certainly packs an emotional punch and get the kitchen sink social disconnect perfectly. You can here me and a friend discuss this on our Podcast: http://lastpictureshowpodc...fun-house-1970/

A film more concerned with the inner existential struggles of the men involved than it is about wolves being bludgeoned by a fearless Liam Neeson. You can hear me and a friend discuss this film and give our Top 5 Existential Journey Film over at my Podcast: http://lastpictureshowpodcast.com/2012/02/23/episode-41-the-grey-i-am-gemini-top-5-existential-journey-films/

Such a stark and harrowing depiction of the depths of addiction, in this case sex addiction. Something that isn't as fully explored or understood as drug addiction, but is in some cases nonetheless damaging to an individual and those around them.

After the revolutionary and kinetic 'A Better Tomorrow', the sequel comes across as a haphazardly constructed parody of its far superior predecessor. The behind the scenes fallout of Tsui Hark and John Woo is to blame, as the editing (completed by the production company's editing suite) is a complete mess lacking in any tension, drama or even continuity. Only watch for an insanely demented performance from Dean Shek.

The first of the heroic bloodshed stream of Hong Kong cinema, spearheaded by director John Woo while perhaps not as successfully executed as some of the later films of this period, it still manages to pack a serious punch. Woo's keen visual style and unique framing are present as well as the hard-bodied criminals, cinematic references and melodramatic gun battles. Killer (pun intended).
