I Origins (6/10)
I suspect Brit Marling makes some well-considered choices about what she gets involved in. Mike Cahill also directed her in Another Earth (2011) and I feel a bit the same about both movies: interesting premise,
Fak wai nai gai thoe (3/10)
A Thai teen horror movie… Why would you watch that…? Indeed… It’s not actually that much of a horror movie, more a drama pretending to be a horror movie and it has a clear if simple
Celda 211 (7/10)
A solid Spanish prison drama. The storyline may not be exceptionally original, but it delivers the premise needed for the actors to do their work: the acting is good and keeps you engaged all the
Tracks (5/10)
A true story about a strong independent Australian woman on a mission. Except, she isn’t really on a mission. Actually, there is no significance to her journey at all. And along the way, pretty much

Pain & Gain (7/10)

Europa Report (8/10)
An engaging thriller with its own documentary-like style that isn’t afraid to put some science in sci-fi. The acting is strong, the feel is realistic, the story flows well. If you like anything sci-fi like
The Maze Runner (6/10)
Yet another teen movie about a dystopian future (is there any other kind in the movies these days?) in the spirit of The Hunger Games and Divergent, with a little bit of Lord of the
