It’s tough to conjure up many more words for Peter Jackson’s vision of Middle Earth. At the start of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies the audience has spent a collective 15+ hours in the world of Hobbits, Wizards, Elves and Orcs. That is frankly astounding. What Jackson has done in sheer volume is impressive, the fact that his vision is a compelling, often intoxicating one feels like icing on the cake.

If you’ve ever wanted your Old Testament served up in 3D, well guess what weirdos – Exodus: Gods and Kings is the movie for you.

Interstellar is all at once bold, audacious, thrilling…and a little dim (kind of like its lead actor, heyo!) It’s Christopher Nolan flexing big budget muscle at a time in his career when he can take huge chances.

The Guardians of the Galaxy are basically the Marvel universe’s weird cousins. They are mostly castaways from a much more obscure comic book series playing second-fiddle to the likes of the X-Men, Captain America and Iron Man. But anyone with weird cousins knows that at the family reunion they are usually the ones you have the most fun hanging out with.
