Review of Nightcrawler (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 22 Oct 2018

Nightcrawler isn't fully the sum of its parts, but with winning central performances, a blackly comic screenplay and a handful of brilliant…

Review of The Hate U Give (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for The Digital Fix (54) on 21 Oct 2018

Despite the teen friendly sheen this material is presented with, it still packs a strong emotional punch…

Review of Noah (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

It openly acknowledges the difficulties in following a belief system whose needs conflict with what is morally right…

Review of The Guest (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Do yourself a favour and go watch The Guest now. Why wait until it becomes a cult classic…

Review of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Despite the fact it runs out of steam, this is a far superior film than the forgettable first outing…

Review of Blue Ruin (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Blue Ruin marks Jeremy Saulnier out as an exciting filmmaker to watch - it's just a shame that the film can't fully shake off the weight of…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Laika understand that the best children's movies have an inherent sense of horror…

Review of Oculus (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Whilst being far from perfect, Oculus is often quite effective in its approach…

Review of The Lego Movie (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

In the hands of 21 Jump Street directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller the film is an irreverent joy, simultaneously cashing in on the youthful…

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

The first reboot had heart, which helped it live up to the claim of being an amazing Spider-Man…

Review of The Book Thief (2013)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

The film is nothing more than a cliche, trying to introduce the subject of war to younger viewers without offering anything of interest to older ones…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Neither gritty enough to be convincing or cheesy enough to be fun, it occupies the middle ground where seemingly all modern Denzel Washington…

Review of The Double (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Only a truly talented filmmaker can take an oft-told story and make it feel original…

Review of Labor Day (2013)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Its sheer stupidity means it's as equally worth watching as his earlier, intentionally funnier ones…

Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

At a time when Judd Apatow is Hollywood's go-to funnyman, a film like The Grand Budapest Hotel is sorely needed…

Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

The Wolf of Wall Street is Scorsese's best film in at least two decades, and certainly the best of his five DiCaprio collaborations…

Review of Locke (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

What should be a gripping narrative is uninteresting to the point of tedium…

Review of Calvary (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018

Calvary is an occasionally funny and frequently heartfelt film about faith and the conflicts it can cause…

Review of The Raid 2 (2014)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemole (129) on 20 Oct 2018
