  • Directed by: Jon Lucas/Scott Moore
  • Cast: Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Jonathan Keltz

Promising student Jeff (Chon) is coerced by best friends Miller (Teller) and Casey (Astin) into going on a drinking spree the night before his medical school interview. The central trio lack presence, the gags mostly miss and it's not as much fun as Lucas and Moore's script for The Hangover.

  • Directed by: Taylor Hackford
  • Written by: Douglas Day Stewart
  • Cast: Richard Gere, Debra Winger, Louis Gossett, Jr, David Keith, Lisa Blount, Robert Loggia, Tony Plana

On the surface this popular 80s romance is a manipulative weepie charting the relationship between Gere's military pilot and lover Winger. Beneath, it's a hymn to Reagan's self-serving America. It's also racist, misogynistic and pro-military trash. Avoid.

Luke (Gosling) is a stunt motorcyclist who takes to robbing banks on his bike, until ambitious cop Avery (Cooper) starts to trail him.

  • 3 stars
  • 2013

  • Directed by: JJ Abrams
  • Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana

When ex-Starfleet commander John Harrison (Cumberbatch) attacks Earth, the Enterprise crew pursues him. It's more of the same: funny, dramatic and exciting, and if it's not as fresh as the 2009 film, Pine and Quinto's squabbling bromance gives it heart, Pegg and Urban are excellent and Cumberbatch is thrillingly cold.
