Review of I Give It a Year (2013)

Review of The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015)

Review of The Counselor (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Review of The Host (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Review of Mojin: The Lost Legend (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

This Chinese blockbuster heavily recycles elements from every Western adventure movie under the sun to create a cheap imitation of superior…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Park Chan-Wook was aiming for a Hitchcockian feel with this one, but we instead got a Brian De Palma film, and not a good one…

Review of Cinderella (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

To my surprise, Cinderella is actually...OK. It didn't blow my mind and it's still somewhat pointless, but it was OK…

Review of Room (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Room shows us a horrible situation from the most innocent of perspectives, and in doing so creates a truly unique film experience…

Review of Ex Machina (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

It's a grand idea done with simple methods, and serves a solid template for how the British film industry should handle genre pictures…

Review of Chappie (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The film has plenty of potential with its themes and ideas, but other than its titular character there is no one participating in this story…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Oz: The Great and Powerful is good return to form for Raimi, and probably one of the better live-action family films in recent memory…

Review of The Last King (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The Last King's basic story ... serves as the template for some stunning shots of frozen landscapes and some brilliantly done action sequences…

Review of Much Ado About Nothing (2013)

Review of Welcome to the Punch (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Welcome to the Punch is by no means groundbreaking or challenging as a motion picture, but it packs a lot of (pun intended) punch…

Review of Kids in Love (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Review of Her (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

By the end of it all, I left with a mixture of emotions in my head but one thought stuck firmly in mine was 'that was beautiful…

Review of Rush (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Much like fellow sports movie Warrior, the film gets you rooting for both sides, and makes the races between [Hunt and Lauda] that much more tense…

Review of Filth (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

James McAvoy's genuinely great performance is the only thing worth watching, but other than that there isn't much more to it…
