Another Hitchcock masterpiece, great performances all around, an excellently directed film version of a thrilling mystery stage play.

Iron Man Three
The best four fifths of any superhero movie: Shane Black knocks it out the park with love to third movie’s heritage, razor sharp dialogue and wit, but the only thing that stops it from being a perfect movie is a somewhat lacklustre twenty minute boss battle on an oil rig that weighs everything down by trying to clean things up, but an otherwise brilliant film.
★★★★✩
What We Do In The Shadows
Very smart take on the mockumentary genre, with great acting and an irreverent wit.
★★★★✩
Maps to the Stars
Scathing and captivating with some great acting from the deep cast, but isn’t coherent.
★★★✩✩
The Hobbit
A punishing watch, there’s almost nothing redeeming about the film; and because of the sets, makeup, and clothes was probably the worst choice to introduce 48fps to audiences.
