Oculus: Pushing the boundaries of what we've come to expect from a horror, this creepy new thriller is twisted in ways you cannot guess. Make sure you pay attention or you'll loose the thread. While it wasn't the best horror film ever it certainly made it's mark and dispelled all my preconceptions. Jumpy, fractured and mind melting in parts it's definitely worth the watch. There were scenes where you could guess what was coming and areas that could have been elaborated or given more depth but you may return home from the cinema and cover every mirror in your house!

X-Men: Days of Future Past: Another success from the X-Men franchise. I also enjoy watching mutant related films and this one has the added bonus of Evan Peters (American Horror Story). A huge cast, great special effects and a tense storyline. I only have a few gripes with the ending but I cannot divulge without spoiling the film, therefore I will refrain!

22 Jump Street: Why are sequels never as good as the first? Still, this one is funny, action packed and slightly awkward as usual! Tatum and Hill make a good team, and Ice Cube is an added bonus! Personally, I just prefer the first one!

Ride Along: Another appearance from Ice Cube, along with comedian Kevin Hart the pair make a hilarious team! I was expecting the same awkward partnership as 'Jump Street' but 'Ride Along' surprised me!

Godzilla: Having forgotten the original (though I'm sure I've seen it) I had no real expectations for Godzilla. The beast itself was magnificent! I think a lot of the money went into the CGI and the acting was neglected (except for Brian Cranston of course who does a marvellous job and tugs on those heart strings right from the beginning!). Aaron Taylor-Johnson, however, was not cut out for the role. The idea of him as a bomb disposal soldier just wasn't believable!

The Amazing Spiderman 2: Unlike '22 Jump Street' this sequel worked better than I imagined. I never expect much from sequels (unless it's a huge franchise such as X-Men of Star Wars [I am expecting a lot from the new one!]). Andrew Garfield is and always will be a better Spiderman than Tobey Maguire ever was or could be! The enemies were stronger than the first film, the effects were brilliant and the acting was first class! It's safe to say I can't wait for the next one!

Locke: I appreciate a lot of different films, from action to comedy and fantasy to real life drama. Going into 'Locke' I knew it was an artistic film. What I hadn't anticipated was the drive. Tom Hardy gets into his car at the beginning, and never gets out. Dull, lacklustre and a sketchy accent to top it off. Throughout the entire film I expected that what you were being told wasn't true or there would be a twist, nothing but red herrings and false hope. Disappointing.

Sabotage: Another disappointment. The less said about this one the better. Arnie needs more action, less pointlessly twisted story and a lot more action. He is, and always has been, the great action hero. But, not in this film. It's nice that he's branching out but I'd much prefer he stick to his usual roles. Not enough action! (I think you get the picture).
