The Game (1997)
Intruiging, yet vain
A psychological thriller, a cat and mouse game, that is ultimately pointless.
American Beauty (1999)
Very good
An insight into the psychological lives of American suburbans. A tragedy that is beautiful and profound at the same time.
Fear Island (2009)
Fun although not outstanding
An exciting little whodunit with a twist ending. It has the four teenagers going to a cabin stereotype, the suspense of a slowly unraveling mystery.
The Angry Birds Movie (2016)
Fun little movie
This adaptation of the Angry Birds game does a little bit more than just be an advertisement for the games. It's an entertaining, well-animated flick that even has a Shining reference.
Doctor Strange (2016)
Good, but not great entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe
What's really great about Doctor Strange is that it allows itself to go into some mind-boggling territory, like the trippy visuals when The Ancient One shows Doctor Strange the vastness of the cosmos. It's a really well- made and engaging film but they could have dared to go a bit further instead of relying too much on the standard Marvel plot devices.
The cloak was pretty cringe worthy and some of the dialogue was hamfisted. Another critique that I have for recent Marvel films is that its characters aren't really that human, they are more or less a foil for the movie's themes. The themes do move along very fine though and Doctor Strange is great entertainment.
