What I thought was going to be a fucked up, mind-bending sci-fi action thriller turned out to be a long biographical piece about the strangest ever life story. Plenty fucked up though and it gets pretty mind-bending towards the end. Plus Ethan Hawke is lush.

Sicario (2015)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3397884/As tense and gritty as you could hope for, this story of an out-of-her-depth FBI agent's assignment to a drug war task force keeps you on the edge of your seat. A strong cast and soundtrack compliment the perfect balance of in-your-face action and stunning extreme long-shots. Highly recommended.

Inside Out (2015)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2096673/
Charming and funny, this Pixar-Disney collaboration makes for lovely soft viewing. Embodied versions of a young girl's core emotions fight to stay in control of her mind after a disruptive house move. It's VERY childish but also endearing and beautiful to watch. Nearly boring but not quite.

True Story (2015)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2273657
Fairly interesting character piece about a journalist and an accused murderer who form a complicated relationship in the run up to the latter's trial. Whilst Hill and Franco aren't at their best and the film is a little muddled, the story is just about compelling enough to keep you guessing.

Insurgent (2015)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2908446/
Barely worth a review and definitely not worth a watch. Really terrible Hunger Games knock-off. Completely dismal in every way. First class uber tripe. Don't waste your time.
