Review of Shooting for Socrates (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 29 May 2015

Review of San Andreas (2015)

Review of Danny Collins (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 24 May 2015

Review of Sword of Vengeance (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 24 May 2015

Fans of samurai movies, historically inaccurate hairdos and a video camera's slow-mo button should lap up this daft swords and sandals slasher…

Disney's recklessly ambitious sci-fi adventure joins The Lone Ranger in the file marked noble failure…

Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Review of Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 12 May 2015

Banks deliver a steady trickle of bawdy laughs but the pacing - like Wilson - sags noticeably in the middle…

Review of Spooks: The Greater Good (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 02 May 2015

Smart, stylish, tense and reassuringly preposterous, it's a fitting addition to the series and a rollicking spy movie in its own right…

Review of Top Five (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 02 May 2015

The banter between Allen and Dawson keeps things ticking over, it's nicely shot and there are some amusing lines…

Review of Big Game (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 02 May 2015

It's a slight film, but it's amusing, pacy, action-packed and doesn't take itself remotely seriously…

Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 24 Apr 2015

David Nicholls deserves huge credit for condensing Hardy's sprawling melodrama into a rollicking screenplay that comes in at under two hours…

Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 20 Apr 2015

It ticks all the boxes for a summer blockbuster but you feel spandex fatigue is just being to creep into the Marvel Cinematic Universe…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 11 Apr 2015

A solid, if very familiar, revenge Western with a decent lead, a couple of well-staged shootouts and some dazzling desert landscapes…

Review of A Little Chaos (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 10 Apr 2015

The film is nicely shot, Rickman can still arch an eyebrow and the costumes and furniture are all very nice to look at…

Review of Child 44 (2015)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 10 Apr 2015

Tom Hardy is excellent in the lead role and director Daniel Espinosa crafts some brilliant individual scenes but the story gets a little bogged…
