Crocodile (1996)

Not to be confused with 2000 'horror' film, this is Kim Ki-duk's debut feature and what we get overall is a decent outing. It's a little inconsistent but manages to deliver with interesting characters and events and Kim Ki-duk already showing his willingness to take on daring subject matter.
Not exactly a wholly pleasant watch but still an enjoyable one.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Solid sequel here that is on par if maybe a little better than the first one. The one thing that I enjoyed more than usual was the story it had some nice links to the first and never felt overwrought. It's got some good action sequences in it too, though it does suffer from them being done in a fast, choppy shaky style which always annoys me but some of it was bearable here.
Visual effects were pretty good and choreography was fine.
All in all, it's another solid Marvel film that still retains it's sense of fun and manages to deliver what you expect.

The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen (1988)

A solid 80's Fantasy adventure, with the usual Gilliam strangeness and some fun practical effects. Also has a good cast including a young Uma Thurman and small role played by Oliver Reed (who you can never go wrong with). It may be a little messy but despite the apparent troubled production this film had. it still managed to provide a fun watch.

Martyrs (2008)

What a movie, eh?. A tense, completely unrelenting and utterly disturbing film and a great one at that.
It's a truly effective horror that twists in different directions, leaving you uncertain of what will happen next. It also seems to have more to it than most films in the extreme horror genre(a genre I'm not particularly keen on)  and is one of the few films that manages to keep you on edge throughout without having to cheat.
It's definitely not an easy watch and although I really liked it, I don't think I could ever watch it again, though, I'm sure many of its images will stay etched in my mind for a while.
A must see for fans of extreme horror, but even if you're not, it could still be worth checking out, just approach with much caution.

Under The Skin (2014)

Now here's a film that can stand on its own. A unique and absolutely fascinating film that is just great. Minimal in dialogue and narrative but constantly compelling, I can't help but highly appreciate it. It has a fantastic soundscape and many great and haunting moments laced throughout. It keeps a feel of isolation and alienation throughout which actually had an effect on me afterwards on my way home.
It's definitely gonna split people(a few women sat behind me in the cinema seemed to hate it) but I found it remarkable.. Great stuff.
****1/2

Starred Up (2014)

Fucking gritty British Drama init. So here we have a solid British film with good performances involving a young prisoner who on 1 or 2 occasions reminded me of Bronson but without the eccentricity. It's that very gritty, rough kind of British film executed well complete with realistic mumbly dialogue that at times can be hard to hear properly (good luck non-british audiences). All in all, it's a well layered, interesting film that also serves up a small comment on the current British prison system.
***1/2

Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

While this may not be as good as its 2011 predecessor, Muppets Most Wanted is still a barrel of Muppet fun. For me it was worth it just for a specific film gag that happens during the beginning of the movie, but you have your usual Muppet tropes here, amusing songs, an abundance of cameos and well placed jokes, all leading to a very enjoyable watch. I loved The Muppets as a kid and I'm glad that they still manage to entertain me now.
