The Batman (2022) 85% 5/5 EDIT “Scaling down beautifully from the silly operatics of the DCEU, Matt Reeves has crafted a movie which stands cape-to-cape with The Dark Knight, perhaps even surpassing it as a forensic study of Gotham’s most famous protector. ” – One Room With A View Feb 28, 2022 Full Review The Many Saints of Newark (2021) 72% 3/5 EDIT “What made The Sopranos exceptional was that it had so many new things to say -- about America, therapy, family, life, and death. The Many Saints of Newark is content in repeating itself.” – One Room With A View Sep 27, 2021 Full Review Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) 71% 3/5 EDIT “This is not a perfect movie, but it is both a spectacular finale to a wobbly franchise and an enormous vindication for artistic vision. We should be glad it exists.” – One Room With A View Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Muppets Most Wanted (2014) 80% 3/5 EDIT “There are some giggles to be had and this isn't their worst outing, but Muppets Most Wanted remains Jim Henson's gang at their most mediocre.” – One Room With A View Jun 17, 2019 Full Review The Double (2013) 83% 3/5 EDIT “The Double, stitched together with Kafkaesque leftovers and Orwellian residue, is anchored by two good performances from just one actor.” – One Room With A View Jun 17, 2019 Full Review 300: Rise of an Empire (2014) 45% 1/5 EDIT “Boring, numbing, unnecessary.” – One Room With A View Jun 17, 2019 Full Review Starred Up (2013) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Despite its use of tried-and-tested tropes, David Mackenzie has made something that feels incredibly refreshing and relevant.” – One Room With A View Jun 17, 2019 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) 92% 4/5 EDIT “This franchise has got legs (wings, teeth, and can breathe fire... !) and leaves its audience looking forward to the already-announced threequel.” – One Room With A View Jun 15, 2019 Full Review Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Too many minutes, too many characters, not enough story. The VFX, however, are a triumph.” – One Room With A View Jun 15, 2019 Full Review Boyhood (2014) 97% 5/5 EDIT “It is an incredible film; a power walk through the chapters of childhood and adolescence, an epic poem of candid photographs sellotaped together with strips of sticky, sugary nostalgia.” – One Room With A View Jun 15, 2019 Full Review 22 Jump Street (2014) 84% 4/5 EDIT “22 Jump Street is belly-aching, mickey-taking, cinema-shaking summer comedy at its very best.” – One Room With A View Jun 14, 2019 Full Review The Case Against 8 (2014) 91% 2/5 EDIT “The Case Against 8, or at least its content, is far too important to be depicted as an overly long reality television sob-story.” – One Room With A View Jun 11, 2019 Full Review The Wind Rises (2013) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Like its protagonist, and its auteur, these are tender and gentle brushes of exquisite genius.” – One Room With A View Jun 11, 2019 Full Review The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) 51% 3/5 EDIT “It's fun, but nothing more.” – One Room With A View Jun 11, 2019 Full Review Calvary (2014) 89% 4/5 EDIT “For the most part, John Michael McDonagh and Brendan Gleeson have succeeded in producing a profound film that looks at faith and its place in modern day society.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Transcendence (2014) 19% 2/5 EDIT “Transcendence does look beautiful, but this only reaffirms it to be a classic example of style over substance.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review The One I Love (2014) 83% 4/5 EDIT “The real joy it delivers is seeing how its characters respond to their extraordinary circumstances in a way that feels genuine, rather than a succession of demonstrations of love between screenwriter and concept.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Drunktown's Finest (2014) 67% 2/5 EDIT “It's an afternoon soap that is one character too large and fifteen minutes too long.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Fruitvale Station (2013) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Ryan Coogler, aided by a wonderfully compelling performance from his central actor, has created an emotionally strong film that stays in the heart and corners of the eyes for a long time after the credits.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Frank (2014) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Frank will break your heart into pieces or your face into a smile. Perhaps both.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Under the Electric Sky (2014) 53% 1/5 EDIT “Under the Electric Sky could have been a genuinely interesting social-anthropological documentary. Instead it's a glittery exercise in masturbation.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review The Act of Killing (2012) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Soaked in blood and haunted by ghosts, The Act of Killing is not an easy watch at all. But it is an incredibly rewarding one; this truly is cinema at its most important.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Oldboy (2013) 39% 1/5 EDIT “Spike Lee scrambles Chan-wook Park's story in a perfunctory attempt to be original, but too much is lifted from its famous Asian counterpart.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Nebraska (2013) 90% 3/5 EDIT “It droops in the middle and veers off into sticky sentimentality by its third act, but Nebraska is still able to retain a solid charm.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review American Hustle (2013) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It does sometimes feel as if you are handling counterfeit Scorsese goods but when American Hustle is great, it's really great.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review
