RoboCop
Stylish, irony-free remake - lifeless and hampered mainly by the badass cult reputation of the source.

Interstellar
Convoluted, drawn out sci-fi, short on drama. A couple of decent moments, but thoroughly uneven.

Nightcrawler
Electrifying modern thriller. Great script and a breakout turn from Donnie Darko. He's going to be big.
