• Iron Man 3 (2013) - IMDb 8/10

  An exciting, action-packed, twist-ridden conclusion to the Iron Man trilogy that ties up all the loose ends but also manages to keep the door wide open for future Iron Man adventures.

• Oblivion (2013) - IMDb 7/10

  2013-04-23 16:33

  

  Duncan Jones's "Moon" + The Adjustment Bureau + The Matrix + Total Recall + 2001: A Space Odyssey + The Planet Of The Apes = a good Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller. Highly referential, but good.

• Shaun of the Dead (2004) - IMDb 9/10

  2013-04-08 14:57

  

  Hilarious, tongue-in-cheek send-up of the zombie genre. There is never a dull moment in this movie. Simon Pegg's titular character is balls-to-the-wall funny. An instant cult classic!

• Easy A (2010) - IMDb 8/10

  2013-04-07 14:32

  

  A delightful teen comedy that doesn't employ the usual tricks of the genre. Emma Stone is refreshing as the titular character, and the supporting cast members all do a good job in making the movie a fun, lighthearted and bubbly experience.

• Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) - IMDb 7/10

  2013-04-06 21:46

  

  Throw out all your preconceptions about the space-time continuum and this movie will be an enjoyable couple of hours of fun, frivolity and silly 80s throwbacks.
