Cuban Fury | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | If Billy Elliot was about a passion nurtured from a young age, Cuban Fury is what happens when that unlikely passion for movement is lost, and found. It's as sweet and charming as its cast. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | true | 7 | 11 | 2 | 0 |

The Skin I Live In | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | I was agonising over every twist and turn. I was shuffling in my seat.

The Guilt Trip | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | The Guilt Trip fundamentally doesn't work because the, 'showbiz royalty,' aura that surrounds Streisand is antithetical to the modest working class mother that she's trying to play. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | true | 3 | 11 | 2 | 0 |
The Call | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | The Call is a thriller that works tremendously for the duration of the titular 'call.' The minute that the call ends, it spirals into an avalanche of horror/thriller film clichs that results in disastrously bad and an unintentionally comedic climax. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | true | 4 | 11 | 2 | 0 |
The Family | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | The Family unashamedly serves as a shrine to Goodfellas, pairs sharp, black comedy and violence but like the characters is in a state of existential crisis. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | true | 6 | 11 | 2 | 0 |

Only God Forgives | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | Only God Forgives stays with you like a traumatic memory but the sickening violence appears composed as haunting flashes of sublime beauty; reverberating long after you've finished viewing. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | true | 9 | 11 | 2 | 0 |
The Conjuring | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | The Conjuring is like the horror equivalent of a 'Long Island iced tea'; mixing stiff belts of haunted house, poltergeist and exorcism into a near perfect and potent cocktail. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | true | 9 | 11 | 2 | 0 |
Wish You Were Here | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | The performances are raw, real and beautiful by the three leads Edgerton, Price and Palmer.

Transformers: Age of Extinction | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | Imagine a little boy, playing with his Transformers in front of a mural that he's created from clippings of his favourite films.

The Rum Diary | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | A sprawling, superficial, sporadic story that fails to live up the expectations of it's inspiration, it's star and the previous cinematic incarnations of the man. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | true | 4 | 11 | 2 | 0 |
Selma | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | Selma is an almost impassable minefield of opportunities to make a bad film. Director Ava DuVernay danced through like Fred Astair. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | true | 10 | 11 | 2 | 0 |

Top Five | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | Top Five is Chris Rock's latest slice of personal comedy, except New York is the stage and echoes of Woody Allen, Louie C.K, Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld abound. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | true | 8 | 11 | 2 | 0 |
That's My Boy | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | There's nothing that makes this film worth seeing. That's My Boy is another example of Adam Sandler rubbing peoples noses in the fecal matter that his career's become. | 0/5 | 5 | 0 | 5 | true | 0 | 11 | 2 | 0 |
Mr. Holmes | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | Mr Holmes should have been incredible but instead it was just ordinary. And I'm not sure how hard you realise it was NOT to use an 'elementary' pun. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | true | 6 | 11 | 2 | 0 |

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger | 2UE That Movie Show | Blake Howard | You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger is the amnesiac relative of Allen's body of work.
