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.
