“Goosebumps is a wicked delight, packed full of spooks and scares that should have adults jumping out of their seats almost as often as little ones.” –

“Trumbo is a fascinating portrait of a time when suspicion could end a promising career, and Bryan Cranston earns an Oscar nomination for his stellar portrayal of the Hollywood screenwriter.” –

“From uninspired beginning to muddled end, it's a cultural smash'n'grab that goes through the motions and will ultimately be remembered as a badly missed opportunity.” –

“Thomas McCarthy's impeccably crafted drama pays tribute to the close-knit team of tenacious editors and reporters who tirelessly pursued the ugly truth and wrung their sweat and tears into the exposes.” –

“Story directs at a lacklustre pace, which suggests he signed on with the returning cast purely for a pay cheque, while parallel romantic subplots beggar belief.” –

No Escape (2015)
47%
3/10
EDIT
“Clumsy filmmaking in No Escape means the viewers never actually find out where the uprising is and director John Erick Dowdle and his younger brother Drew, who co-wrote the script, remain vague about the geography of this violent, protracted chase.” –

“With a simple storyline that can be slow at times, Cara Delevingne's new movie will earn a place in the hearts of teenage filmgoers. But it doesn't offer the same emotional punch as The Fault In Our Stars.” –

A Walk in the Woods (2015)
46%
6/10
EDIT
“The premise of bickering old friends forced together while out of their comfort zones has been done before and far better (Whitnail and I, City Slickers), but the two leads' star power and easy charm makes this an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.” –
