• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1865505/
• Known actors: Brendan Gleeson.
• Style: An old folk tale with magic.

Pride — Funny representation of the meeting of two very different world — 8*/10

• Story: Very interesting, compelling and inspiring. Lots of funny moments as well as a bit of simmering drama that doesn't turn into an enormity.
• Style: Biographical and historical, so, at times, it lacks a bit of punch.
• Ending: Nice, but as anything else based on real events, it kind of sputters out even if there's a bit of surprise.
• Dialogs: Sometimes witty, sometimes funny, but always to the point.
• Characters: Interesting, diverse, well built and nicely fleshed out.
• Acting: Solid.
• Known actors: Bill Nighy.

• Entertainment value: Solid.

5 to 7 — Be transported by this romance that will make you think — 9*/10

• Story: Romance born of the clash of two cultures and two very different point of view. Makes you think. I hate the close-minded American puritanical view. Also, the way writing is presented tends to fall into pop psychology.
• Setting: Very opulent, but then it's part of the story and not just only an affectation, so it's sort of forgivable.
• Style: Slow and emotional. You really have the time to feel what is happening.
• Pacing: Good. Very gradual build up. Each scene is focused on one thing and then you go to the next, very naturally.
• Ending: Realistic, as it should be, as most people would have done.
• Epilogue: It's so long that it can almost be considered the ending. I usually hate epilogues. In this case, it's not too bad, probably because it feels more like an ending, since some important realizations only come then.
• Dialogs: Excellent. Maybe a bit on the philosophical side, a lot of the sentence can be used as Twitter post, and I did a few, but still within the realm of possibility.
• Characters: Deep and heartfelt. Touching. Easily identifiable.
• Acting: Superb.
• Known actors: Anton Yelchin, Bérénice Marlohe, Olivia Thirlby, Lambert Wilson, Glenn Close and Frank Langella.
• Cameos: Eric Stoltz.
• Visuals: Beautiful.
• Costumes: Incredible wardrobe.
• Score: Touching. Perfect for the romance and the melancholy.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2486678/
• Entertainment value: High, if you're in the mood for romance without comedy.
• Who is it for? Anyone looking for something romantically touching, strong in meaning that will make you think.

Pawn Sacrifice — A very strong biography of a troubled genius — 8*/10

• Story: His tortured soul really comes through and it can be a bit difficult to watch. However, there is no denying the strength of this movie. The story is a bit simple. The psychology is incredible. Very claustrophobic.
• Ending: It's a biographical piece, so you can't ask for much.
• Dialogs: Strong.
• Characters: Very realistic.
• Acting: Powerful on all accounts.
• Known actors: Tobey Maguire, Liev Schreiber and Peter Sarsgaard.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596345/
• Entertainment value: Good if you're interested characters with psychological troubles.
• Who is it for? Those looking for biographies or psychological flicks and Maguire fans.

How to Make Love Like an Englishman — A nice little romantic comedy — 6*/10

• Story: Surprising. On a number of occasion, the movie takes the road less traveled. Those aren't completely unexpected moves, but it does add a little spice. It's sweet, light, funny and full of beautiful people.
• Setting: Gorgeous. Nothing the average viewer can afford.
• Ending: Weak.
• Dialogs: Good.
• Characters: Interesting, even if none of them are very deep.
• Acting: Good.
• Known actors: Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba, Pierce Brosnan and Malcolm McDowell.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1725986/
• Entertainment value: Good.
• Who is it for? Anyone looking for an easy and light romantic comedy.

The title just doesn't work.

Foxcatcher — A creepy recounting of a real life sport drama — 8*/10

• Story: You'll definitively be weirded out. There's a lot of uncomfortable situations, people that are just a bit off and events that you can't believe really happened. Everything feels slightly askewed, like looking through an imperfect glass pane. That being said, it is psychologically intense, it is hypnotic, and you just know something bad is going to go down at some point.
• Style: It is just as boring as real life can be, but there's a surreal quality to these real life events that makes it difficult to just lump it with other biographical or historical piece.
• Pacing: Slow, drawn out. Makes for an incredible mood, a bit creepy, almost suffocating.
• Ending: Surprising. Not shocking, but really close to it.
• Dialogs: Off putting would be the best way to describe them. 
• Characters: You can really feel the depth and the realism.
• Acting: Superb.
• Known actors: Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo.
• Visuals: Large and impressive or dirty and scrawny.
• Special Effects: Carell's face prosthetic feels unreal, but then again, I think it adds a lot to his character, it seems like a perfect match.
• Score: Creepy in a subtle way.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1100089/
• Entertainment value: Good if you like the style.
• Who is it for? Those looking for some psychological real life drama. Anyone else should abstain.

She's Funny That Way — Very quirky and funny with a side of romance — 6*/10

• Story: Twisted and funny. Very nice ideas. It goes in many directions and not everything ties up neatly which is very much like life which everything else isn't.
• Style: Goofy and quirky.
• Pacing: Quick, almost breathless.
• Ending: Cute.
• Dialogs: Fast and witty. Crazy.
• Characters: Few of them are likeable, but they are all well built and logical if unreal.
• Acting: Solid.
• Known actors: Owen Wilson, Kathryn Hahn, Jennifer Aniston, Will Forte, Rhys Ifans and Debi Mazar.
• Cameos: Quentin Tarantino and Michael Shannon.
• Score: Quirky. Spot on.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1767372/
• Entertainment value: Nice, better if you're looking for quirky.
• Who is it for? Those looking for something really quirky and funny with a side of romantic relationship.

Ride Along — A simple comedy for some simple fun — 6*/10

• Story: Banal is probably the best I can say. There are some good jokes, but nothing surprising, even the action is subpar and the scenario is straight out of a mold without anything extra.
• Ending: Super predictable.
• Characters: Strictly unidimensional.
• Acting: Basic.
• Known actors: Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, John Leguizamo, Bruce McGill and Laurence Fishburne.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1408253/
• Entertainment value: Basic.
• Who is it for? Cube or Hart fans only, unless you're in a dire need of an action comedy fix.

The Voices — A very dark type of comedy — 7*/10

• Story: Weird, with disgust as a by product. Riveting if you like the type. You keep wondering what's going to happen next. You mostly do know, but keep hoping you're wrong. Lots of good scenario choices that are outside what we're usually served.
• Setting: Simple. Backwater America.
• Style: Dark, and so offbeat that the humor gets lost in the translation. Multiple bloody scenes. Even so, you can't really call this flick gory. There's enough blood to set the tone, but not enough to be over the top.
• Ending: Unusual and pretty good.
• Dialogs: Excellent. That's mostly where you'll find the laughs.
• Characters: Well thought out and fleshed out, if a bit simple. The secret is in how they are portrayed by the actors.
• Acting: Solid. Perfect as far as the main role is concerned.
• Known actors: Ryan Reynolds (really showed his best here), Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick.
• Visuals: Excellent, lots of details.
• Music: Purposefully at odd with what's happening, a reflection of his mental condition.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1567437/
• Entertainment value: Depends if you like that kind of tale.
• Who is it for? Those who like their humor dark and like truly crazy characters, as well as Reynolds fans if they don't mind a departure from his usual roles.

The Little Death — Extraordinary in its simplicity — 8*/10

• Scenario: Well woven tales with an incredibly perfect ending. It starts awkward, prosaic, even a bit boring, but as the stories evolve and cross each other, finely crafted elements emerge making this a surprisingly solid film. The overarching themes are simple and by all means there is nothing really new to the whole scenario, but the quality is in the details and the small unusual twists. Not quite full on romantic, it's definitively about romantic relations.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2785032/
• Who is it for? I recommend it to everyone, unless you're not interested in seeing the grey areas in relationships, the little trials and uncertainties that often make a big mess and from which can romance or breakups emerge.

Divergent — Another teen oriented movie — 6*/10

• Scenario: The story itself is interesting, even though the intrigue is minimal and the characters roughly sketched, simple. It lacks substance where it could have made a full meal. Everything was there for it, but the script contained logical flaws, the acting was below par, the action lousy, the hand to hand combat scenes lacked credibility and the conclusion was too quick, almost anti-climactic.
• Known actors: Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Jai Courtney, Zoë Kravitz and Miles Teller.
• Visual & sound: Good.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1840309/
• Who is it for? Teens and other lovers of such fan fiction or those in need of an apocalyptish sci-fi.

I didn't see when it came out on the big screen because I feared it would be just one more teen saga and I was right. I don't think it's worth spending money on this, unless you're the target audience.

Infinitely Polar Bear — No story but one large character — 7*/10

• Scenario: It's all about the character. The story itself doesn't seem to matter and the rest of the family, including the girls feel almost insubstantial. That, being said, the acting is great, the laughs are plentiful and there's lots of interesting details as well as a few thoughtful moments. Despite everything, I must say, I like the ending.
• Known actors: Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana.
• Visual & sound: Good.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1969062/
• Who is it for? For Ruffalo fans or those who don't mind just watching something well made but not necessarily riveting.

Frank — Weird depressing comedy that stretch creativity and famedom — 7*/10

• Scenario: Depressingly funny just this side of pathetic and missing genius by a hair. Nobody can really relate, but it's definitely novel and worth a try.
• Known actors: Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Carla Azar and Scoot McNairy.
• Visual & sound: Nice.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1605717/
• Who is it for? Everyone should give it a try, but it's definitively not for everyone. You have to like weird humor and crazy situations.

The Rewrite — Extremely entertaining light comedy even if it's predictable — 7*/10

• Scenario: Yes, it's predictable in many ways, but the delivery is impeccable, the dialogs are witty, the setting is easy to enjoy, you'll laugh and you'll be entertained. Personally, if I'd been him, I would have totally branched out and never left that kid alone with those two sharks, major mistake. Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy.
• Known actors: Marisa Tomei, Hugh Grant, J.K. Simmons, Allison Janney, Bella Heathcote, Chris Elliott and Jason Antoon.
• Visual & sound: Very slick.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2509850/
• Who is it for? Anyone looking for a solid light witty comedy with a nice undercurrent of romance or any Grant fans.

Life After Beth — A zombie comedy that might surprise you — 7*/10

• Scenario: Nice details, good concept, funny in a dark way, silly and very engaging with twists and turn presented in a novel way.
• Known actors: Aubrey Plaza, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Cheryl Hines, Paul Reiser and Anna Kendrick.
• Visual & sound: Nice. Nothing impressive, but well done.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2581244/
• Who is it for? Zombie fans who likes cooky dark comedies.

Wild Tales — Crazy, crazy, crazy... and imaginative! — 9*/10

• Scenario: Wild indeed. Although some of the tales start in a very mundane manner in terms of scenario, it will never fail to take unexpected turns, and sometimes it just won't stop. The intro, before the initial credits, is something totally off the wall and gets you into the mood right away. The only thing I don't like is the ending of the last tale, to me, it doesn't work, but it keeps with the theme and I have to applaud that. Completely captivating.
• Dialogs: Very interesting.
• Characters: Nothing you've ever seen. Well built.
• Actors: Great work on the part of everyone.
• Photography: Solid and sometimes unexpected camera work. Good work with the sets and decors.
• Sound: Nice music and score.
• Special effects: None.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3011894/
• Who is it for? Anyone who wants to see something different and doesn't mind crazy or, in two instances, violent.

Welcome to Me — Crazy and completely different — 7*/10

• Scenario: It's funny, at times even hilarious, if you can stand the embarrassment. It's very well made, imaginative and totally crazy. I went to see it for the antics, which I knew would be great, I waited for the crash, which was realistic, but unfortunately, the ending was too light and anticlimactic. It wasn't good enough. You just can't leave an audience on a low note like this.
• Dialogs: Imaginative and off the deep end.
• Characters: Crazy and well built.
• Actors: Excellent work on the part of everyone. Cast members include Kristen Wiig, James Marsden, Joan Cusack, Loretta Devine, James Marsden, Tim Robbins and Alan Tudyk.
• Photography: Nice, nothing fancy.
• Sound: Nice music and score.
• Special effects: None.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2788716/
• Who is it for? Those wanting to see something different.

Rudderless — Touching with lots of beautiful songs and a few smiles — 9*/10

• Scenario: A story that is rarely told. Yes, it is about grief and moving on with all its usual plot elements, but the perspective takes a 180° two thirds of the way in. Very touching, captivating and full of emotions that can be easily understood. There are a few laughs, but in counter point to the sad parts. Great ending.
• Dialogs: Excellent.
• Characters: Well done with nice depth.
• Actors: Excellent work on the part of everyone. Cast members include Billy Crudup, Anton Yelchin, William H. Macy and Laurence Fishburne.
• Photography: Nice.
• Sound: Great music and score.
• Special effects: None.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1798243/
• Who is it for? Those looking for a touching tale.

William H. Macy directed a great piece. Well done.

White Bird in a Blizzard — A must try for anyone who doesn't mind low key — 9*/10

• Scenario: Very interesting intrigue that goes thin and then thick. The effect is great. It is from the perspective of the daughter and it is mounted incredibly well in that sense. Nice twists and captivating ideas. Love the ending.
• Dialogs: Great.
• Characters: Extremely well developed with nice depth.
• Actors: Excellent work on the part of everyone. Cast members include Shailene Woodley, Eva Green and Angela Bassett.
• Photography: Nice.
• Sound: Good music and score, low key with an entrancing effect.
• Special effects: The snow is incredibly fake.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2238050/
• Who is it for? Those looking for a nice mystery. It's a must try for anyone who doesn't mind something low key. I find this movie incredibly underrated by the general public, a real gem in the rough.

The Imitation Game — Solid film based on real events — 8*/10

• Scenario: It's very interesting, but as any movies based on real events, even though this is definitively one of the better ones, it lacks a special something to make it sparkle.
• Dialogs: Solid and realistic.
• Characters: Well developed.
• Actors: Excellent work on the part of everyone. Cast members include Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Charles Dance and Mark Strong.
• Photography: Nice.
• Sound: Nice music and score.
• Special effects: None.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2084970/
• Who is it for? Those who like movies based on real events.
