American Murderer (2022) 75% 16/20 EDIT “…a masterclass of a performance.” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Kangaroo Valley (2022) 100% 16/20 EDIT “... a visually striking document of Australia’s biodiversity ...” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 12, 2023 Full Review Violent Night (2022) 74% 14/20 EDIT “… enough thrills and spills to rise above its derivative nature …” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 1, 2022 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) 91% 4/5 EDIT “If blockbusters are the cinematic equivalent of junk food, then 2014 has been a goddamn ice-cream sundae, and Guardians is the bright, sickly sweet cherry sitting on top.” – The Aristocrat Aug 16, 2014 Full Review Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) 18% 1/5 EDIT “With all of the exploding Porsches and Lamborghinis that its $180 million dollar budget affords, Extinction feels like the cinematic equivalent of big game hunting (especially when it is set in a country where the minimum wage is $2 an hour).” – The Aristocrat Jun 27, 2014 Full Review 22 Jump Street (2014) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Most stars are terrified of looking like fools but Tatum runs head-on into his dumb jock visage.” – The Aristocrat Jun 20, 2014 Full Review Edge of Tomorrow (2014) 91% 4/5 EDIT “we need more intelligent blockbusters that are based on original properties, and supporting films like Edge is the only way to get them. Or don't see it - but don't whine to me when you have to sit through Transformers 10.” – The Aristocrat Jun 5, 2014 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) 90% 4/5 EDIT “...funny, sharp, and breathlessly paced, and is one of the few films this year that are worth the exuberant price of a current 3D ticket. Bring on X-men: Apocalypse.” – The Aristocrat May 27, 2014 Full Review Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) 90% 4/5 EDIT “On a fundamental level, the Russos get the character of Captain America, and this deep understanding trickles down into the film in satisfying ways.” – The Aristocrat Apr 12, 2014 Full Review Noah (2014) 75% 4/5 EDIT “We now have the world's first $125 million stoner film.” – The Aristocrat Apr 5, 2014 Full Review Nymphomaniac: Volume I (2014) 77% 4/5 EDIT “If you are just horny? Skip the context and go to Mr Skin.com. But if you consider yourself a cineaste with an interest in cinema's reining enfant terrible, you must check out Nymphomaniac.” – The Aristocrat Mar 27, 2014 Full Review 12 Years a Slave (2013) 95% 5/5 EDIT “There is a reason that Slave has topped the best of list of 25 major film critics and won the Golden Globe for Best Picture. Miss it at your own loss.” – The Aristocrat Feb 11, 2014 Full Review The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 79% 5/5 EDIT “Funny? Yes. Entertaining? Yes. Flattering? Not in the slightest. Anyone who wants to be in the Jordan Belfort business after watching Wolf must have rocks in their head.” – The Aristocrat Jan 28, 2014 Full Review Her (2013) 95% 4/5 EDIT “...anyone who has found themselves intoxicated by another soul should find much to love in Her.” – The Aristocrat Jan 22, 2014 Full Review Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) 55% 3/5 EDIT “While Shadow Recruit is undeniably formulaic - grizzled mentor! An agent in over his head! An international conspiracy! - it's formula is rock solid.” – The Aristocrat Jan 18, 2014 Full Review Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) 74% 3/5 EDIT “I'm actually surprised that a major film studio (Paramount) would thumb their nose so openly at the competition (Fox). Good on them. They've got balls.” – The Aristocrat Jan 7, 2014 Full Review American Hustle (2013) 92% 4/5 EDIT “... American Hustle is like a passionate, booze-soaked conversation at a party: fun while it last, but foggy the next morning.” – The Aristocrat Dec 12, 2013 Full Review Ender's Game (2013) 63% 3/5 EDIT “A lot of Ender's Game plays like Starship Troopers: The Early Years.” – The Aristocrat Dec 10, 2013 Full Review Closed Circuit (2013) 43% 3/5 EDIT “The trailers have sold this film as a slick thriller, but unfortunately Closed Circuit is more chamomile tea than Red Bull.” – The Aristocrat Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2013) 61% 3/5 EDIT “I can't imagine anyone going into this film expecting Mrs. Doubtfire...” – The Aristocrat Nov 13, 2013 Full Review Captain Phillips (2013) 93% 4/5 EDIT “The number one thing I took away from Captain Phillips (and Zero Dark Thirty before it) is: Don't. Ever. Mess. With. America. They take that (stuff) personally.” – The Aristocrat Nov 12, 2013 Full Review The Counselor (2013) 34% 2/5 EDIT “...at least in No Country these conversations ended with a cattle gun to the head.” – The Aristocrat Nov 11, 2013 Full Review The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) 13% 1/5 EDIT “'Author' Cassandra Clare assumes that you have never seen a film or read a book in your entire life. She steals plot details from Star Wars, Harry Potter and Twilight and assumes that no one will notice. I did.” – The Aristocrat Nov 10, 2013 Full Review We're the Millers (2013) 48% 2/5 EDIT “More like We're the Fillers. Despite having a half-decent premise, this generic American comedy squanders every single one of its comedic opportunities.” – The Aristocrat Oct 13, 2013 Full Review Pain & Gain (2013) 49% 3/5 EDIT “...the film occasionally approaches something resembling satire. Bay's attempts at humour are not always insightful though - a dead woman's breast implant still gets giggled.” – The Aristocrat Oct 12, 2013 Full Review
