Essentially a series of sub-SNL sketches, Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley's inherent likability gives Bedazzled at least one leg to stand on. Not only are both compelling on-screen, but there's some genuine chemistry that makes it clear Hurley's devil has as much affection for Fraser's hapless hero as the viewer.

Overly long and glancing ambitiously over Tarantino's shoulder, there's still a lot to like about this dark comedy, which follows a bunch of potentially criminal misfits staying in the same motel.

A sleepy swipe at The Big Lebowski's crown, Inherent Vice lacks the energy it needs to make this slacker Noir feel compelling. Despite that, there are some great moments, and Josh Brolin's reaction to catching the main character with a platter of weed is worth watching the film for by itself.

Moody, compelling drama that may be the only American show in history to have too few episodes. The show rushes Joel and Ellie's journey at some key point, eliding their transformation from reluctant companions to found family. The acting is fantastic and the deviations from the game add the sense of an even wider world, but this story needed some more room to breathe when its central relationship is so important.

Genuinely touching and humane, the Truman Show sincerely believes that there's something in the human soul that it's a crime to place limits on. Jim Carrey is great as Truman, projecting longing from behind a faltering goofball persona.

This movie is trying really hard to be the new Forrest Gump, and it's boring and pointless in many of the same ways. So... success?

No-one could have guessed that F. Scott Fitzgerald, Brad Pitt and David Fincher could creatr something this dull, but by god they could.

A significantly more mean-spirited revisit of the original movie, this time wasting time by explaining WHY there's a time loop. Jessica Rothe's Tree Gelbman remains likable, but the movie squanders its potential by trying to outdo the original in all the wrong ways.

Largely misunderstood, Four Billboards follows a grieving mother whose daughter was raped and killed, with no perpetrator identified. The entire movie roils with rage, but it also has a deep sense of humanity and the glimpses of normal people connecting despite circumstance are genuinely moving. Racially insensitive in how it treats its black characters as a background concern, the charges of copaganda are unjustified, as the story isn't about redemption, it's about humanity vs self-imposed duty, and how rage makes us think we have to do things that we really don't.

Soulless nonsense for people who find those Minions memes on Facebook profound. While there may be some good bones in the story of a young kid set adrift with a tiger, Ang Lee's life-threatening allergy to any kind of subtlety makes sure to weigh that promise down with sparkly bilge.

Fun, peppy spy drama where Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer are opposing agents forced to work together. Kind of smart, but with the awful habit of assuming that you need a full flashback every time someone references anything that happened earlier in the movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio is left for dead and pushes the limits of human endurance dragging himself back from the brink and partaking in a little righteous vengeance along the way. One of the most convincing man vs bear fights ever committed to film.

Shockingly, it turns out that Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller haven't just been in a decent movie, but they were in one TOGETHER! Dodgeball follows the owner of a friendly neighborhood gym as he bets it all on a dodgeball tournament in order to stay afloat. The movie succeeds because it actually likes its cast of oddballs, and also because with Ben Stiller being the villain, he's mercifully off-screen for the more human moments.

A dour superhero movie that rejects the conventions of the genre, Unbreakable succeeds where so many other stories have before - by asking the question 'but what if superheroes were REAL, though?'

Sporadic moments of genius enliven the otherwise bogged-down story of a group of superheroes trying to recover from their abusive childhood. While it starts off sharp, later seasons start to feel deeply unnatural, as events contrive to drive the plot forwards whether it feels natural or not. You MUST read the comics, but the adaptation contains nothing you can't afford to miss.

The disappointing end to the Cornetto Trilogy, Edgar Wright's misunderstood peon to man-children is a little too sad to ever be genuinely funny, and strays too far from genre convention to feel like a loving pastiche in the same way as Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead.

A trippy, twisted exploration of human moral decay that explores how circumstance can warp and dissolve many of the things we thought defined us. As good as you've heard, although you don't need the extended version in your life.

Aaron Sorkin gets under your skin with the story of a baseball manager desperately trying to change the game so it doesn't chew up and spit out any more young players like it did him. As regrettably as ever, Jonah Hill is here too.

It takes a special absence of talent to take comics as blisteringly great as Jonah Hex and turn them into such substandard genre mush. The movie version of Jonah Hex ignores everything good about the property and instead makes Van Helsing with spurs.

Super-stylish action that uses the same bag of tricks for Charlize Theron's agent as created Daniel Craig's James Bond. The espionage thrills are fun, but sadly it's a little paper thin on closer inspection.

Fun and stylish YA action with genuine darkness bubbling under the surface. The film suffers from its expanded ambition - watching Katniss fight to survive the Hunger Games is inherently more interesting and energetic than watching her get caught up in the resistance.
