Alex Gibney is undoubtedly one of the most important documentary makers of this century but I felt like I'd seen it all before with his take on Scientology, something I feel is over-represented anyway.

Much like the franchise itself, I clicked into gear around the excellent Fast 5 and am quite the connoisseur of this guilty pleasure. Furious 7 will always be remembered as the last to feature star Paul Walker, Killed during a break in filming resulting in a box office supanova when it was finally released. Near maintains the high standard set by 5 and deals with the death of franchise lead in a soulful and non-histrionic or mawkish manner.

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt turns in near fabulous directoral debut with a hugely relevant adult comedy about, well, modern relationships through the male prism of pornography. Scarlett Johansson is spectacular.

For Jason Statham fans this is a stop tier Statham film that flopped massively. A little narrative unevenness for sure but a great character (consumed by gambling addiction) and lead performance, in a fascinating setting, telling a compelling story, backed up by a great cast.

The yearly roundup. For some reason.
