It Follows
It Follows centres around a young woman followed by a sinister force after having sex. An ingenius and subversive horror flick that on the surface seems to be about promiscuity among teens and STDs but is more about the inevitability of death. Everything you do in life, won't stop death.

Critique - The Matrix
Of all the great cinematic art to grace the big screen in the late 90's, arguably none had a greater impact than 1999's, 'The Matrix'. This revolutionary film would not only receive worldwide recognition, but its style and use of ‘bullet time’ visual effects are still used in movies today.

Flash Gordon
Take an anthemic soundtrack by Queen, high camp shenanigans, creepy Max Van Sydow’s Ming the Merciless, Sam J. Jones’ heroics, Brian Blessed belting out all of his lines at the top of his voice, and some utterly ridiculous action sequences and dialogue. What do you get? A great bad film.

Titanic
It took the passenger ship, RMS Titanic exacly two hours and forty minutes to completely sink beneath the waves. Ironically, two hours and 40 minutes is also exactly how long I spend in hell everytime I hear my heart will go on, Celine Dion's theme song from the movie Titanic.

50 Word Critique of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
Featuring a mother’s enduring love and enemy turned surrogate father, this coming-of-age tale serves as a stark warning about technological hubris that we can no longer ignore. Unprecedented action and cutting-edge special effects underpin the message that there is NO FATE and we can only save ourselves.

Carrie
In this revenge tragedy, terror is what happens when a supernaturally gifted, telekinetic girl gets parentally abused and mercilessly bullied by her schoolmates. All it took to trigger death and destruction on a grand scale was a well-aimed bucket full of pig blood at the Prom. Be afraid, very afraid.
