Nightcrawler - Jake Gyllenhaal puts in a very good performance. Quite a unique film but despite the main character being fairly unrelatable it was interesting look at a job I never really knew existed. Despite some flaws, in my opinion, 6.8/10
Whiplash - Right from the first frame I knew I would enjoy this film and I did. Great performances from the two leads, in particular J.K. Simmons. The film seems to do a good job of showing the pressures/whats required to be truely great at something. Unexpected ending which isn't to say it was disappointing. 8/10
Interstellar - Not sure why it took me so long to get around to watching this because I am a huge fan of Nolan's work but this didn't disappoint. Some pretty fascinating material in what could very well be a reality one day. I doubted Mcconaughey at the beginning but by the end he had me convinced. Anne Hathaway was very good also. 8.7/10
Wild - Had low expectations due to some reviews and those reviews turned out to be mostly true. As a keen hiker I was interested to see how they portayed it in this movie and I thought it was a fairly accurate depiction of someone with no hiking experience taking on a big hike apart from the fact I think it unlikely she would have finished it. I didn't really feel for Witherspoons character as all the mistakes she had made in her life were purely on her. 5.5/10.
