Ex Machina (2015)
Ex Machina is great, slow-building tech thriller with a chilling conclusion to the story and features three up and coming actors.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Age of Ultron brings more action and character and story, but it’s all weighed down a bit too much by having to service so many characters.

While We’re Young (2015)
Noah Baumbach is a director who tends to run hot or cold for me. I have not seen all of his filmography, having missed out on his mid-2000s works The Squid and the Whale and Margot at the Wedding. Kicking and Screaming, considered to be a 90s classic, did nothing…

Furious 7 (2015)
