End of Watch
Witty, tense, effective police procedural, despite the contrived hidden cameras. Heat meets Blair Witch.

Side Effects
Taught, surprisingly Hitchcockian thriller, that makes for a great final film from Steven Soderbergh.

Trailer Park: X-Men Days of Future Past
The X-men get into flares and kipper ties for next summer's time-travelling mash-up. The always epic Thin Red Line score gives the trailer some gravitas.

Gangster Squad
Clumsy 1D actioner that has its moments. The subtlety of LA Confidential is a distant memory.

I'm still not sure if I'd seen this text book romcom before. Don Draper disappoints.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Dry 70s reboot, bogged down in impressionism and art direction at the expense of drama.

More comic book nonsense from Marvel. Looks fine, but surely they're going to run out of steam sometime...

Promo Promo: 3D On Jupiter
Beefy solo track from Massive Attack's 3D with Congolese musician Jupiter.
Says 3D: "In 2007 I went to the Congo with Africa Express. I was lucky to hang out and listen to some pretty amazing musicians, Jupiter among them.
"This track is built with an unknown modular synth from Munich, a Moog and a Vermona drum machine, with help from Euan Dickinson and Tim Goldsworthy. And mixes by Bruno Ellingham. I wanted to mirror the energy and message in the song without complicating it. The b-side is a more relaxed and melodic using a Prophet 5 and a jupiter 8.
It is the second release on the Battle Box label, which is made and distributed through The Vinyl Factory. Paul Insect has designed the covers and label art. Everything is screenprinted and limited in number."

Promo Promo: Jonathan Wilson - Dear Friend
Hippies rocking out in what looks like an underground nuclear bunker in the Grand Canyon - what's not to like? Fanfare is Mr Wilson's follow-up to the mellow Laurel Canyon vibes of 2011's Gentle Spirit.
