As a fan of the show, ‘Entourage’ offered me comfort in the familiar. It was a bit like catching up with old friends who you haven’t seen in years. Everyone’s older, but a few drinks in and you realize nothing has changed.

Never a spoof in the vein of Johnny English or the Austin Powers movies, Spy is funny without being campy or foolish. It’s smartly written, and deliciously performed by an A-list cast led by the ridiculously talented McCarthy who never ceases to surprise.

Culminating in an overlong, bloated climax of mass destruction, not unlike the ‘Transformers’ movies, ‘Jurassic World’ frankly delivers enough bang for your buck. Sure, I’d have liked to see more ‘implied danger’. Remember that scene from ‘Jurassic Park’ of a door handle being pushed down, suggesting that the raptors could open doors? But hey, 1993 is a long time gone and perhaps there’s little room for subtlety today.
It’s bigger and louder, and pretty good fun.

It’s easy and breezy, and packed with terrific actors who appear to be enjoying themselves.

…flat-out delightful ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’. I haven’t laughed this hard during any film recently. Watch it for Kangana Ranaut, who’s at the top of her game.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’. It’s brutal and relentless, and delivers a surefire adrenalin rush.

It’s a charming, unpredictable comedy. Despite being obsessed with all the wrong body parts, it’s a film that’s full of heart.

Anyone feeling wistful about their youth will likely relate to the many truths this film holds a mirror to, more than once cutting too close to the bone. I came out feeling wiser and enriched. I think you will too.

To be fair, Avengers: Age of Ultron is a perfectly watchable film, and possibly better than a lot of action movies. The problem is, it doesn’t feel like a game-changer, or even particularly memorable in the manner that so many Marvel films tend to be. More importantly, it’s missing that sense of irreverent fun that oozed out of every pore of that other superhero ensemble – last year’s flat out brilliant Guardians of the Galaxy, which raised the bar pretty high. Go in with modest expectations, and you won’t be too disappointed.

The film is unafraid to explore touchy themes like female desire and sexual drive of disabled people…Don’t miss the film, or you’ll miss what is likely one of the year’s strongest performances by a female actor.
