🎶City of stars🎶
La La Land is a pulchritudinous rainbow exploding like Van Gogh x James Dean across a dreamscape. Jazz at its most bearable.— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) December 13, 2016
Office Christmas Party is hilarious! I laughed long and loud! Now that's a Festivus Miracle if ever there were one!

Hacksaw Ridge is half above average TV movie, half visceral horror of war rendered with quaking precision. Religiosity utterly ridiculous.

While mostly entertaining, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is completely incomprehensible.

As an Oasis superfan I'm obvs the target market but there's a lot to like in Supersonic for the general film or music enthusiast. 🏖🇬🇧🎸🎤🎬

Arrival is sooooooooooooo boring.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) November 13, 2016
Gorgeously shot to showcase AA's red hair and JG's black heart, Nocturnal 🌚🐺Animals is a rich, devastating, majestic filmic objet d'art.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) November 12, 2016
The Accountant has a cracking first hour and a silly coda that is completely forgiven if you like watching Ben beat the shit outta people.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) November 5, 2016
Furiously ridiculous and deeply incomprehensible, Doctor Strange is nonetheless rollicking, enhanced by spectacular scene warps. Unlong too!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) November 1, 2016
As much as I love stylised violence and repartee, Death Proof was a bit of a prolix let down.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 30, 2016
Planet Terror is peerless self-aware genre filmmaking. The machine gun prosthetic is an indelible visual and Josh Brolin is hilarious. ☠️👍🏻
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 30, 2016
Come hell or high water, Hell Or High Water will be on lotsa best-ofs and awards lists. It's a rolled gold modern heist/western classic.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 29, 2016
Light and fluffy, fun and frivolous, Café Society is a charming missive to unrequited love, set to elegant music, in gorgeous sartoria.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 23, 2016
Julieta es un duro viaje a través de los reinos de la pérdida y la condición de mujer. Absorbiendo, sí, pero depende de la narración.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 16, 2016
Smart, funny, visually/viscerally spectacular, Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is fantastic. Just don't try to overthink it!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 15, 2016
Gloriously silly, Dr Strangelove is a majestic work of caustic antiwar absurdity. Sellers' nonpareil performances worthy of a mine space.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 14, 2016
A picaresque portrait of perfection, Barry Lyndon's vacillating fortunes triggered a smile as wide as its length from curtain to epilogue.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 9, 2016
A magnificent, epic achievement; coruscant with visionary production and direction: I loved Spartacus and my wife did too!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 7, 2016
Snowden is a thrilling and superbly acted reconstruction that I fell asleep in due to extreme jetlag. Best Stone film in agggggggeeeeeessss.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) October 5, 2016
Sully is riveting! Perfectly paced and enlivened by beautifully understated humane performances. One flaw: the investigators' motivators?
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) September 16, 2016
Captain Fantastic: fantastic
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) September 15, 2016
Woof woof bang bang!! War Dogs is brilliant! Funny, lotsa thrills, superb soundtrack and genuine heart; glorious filmmaking! 💣🐩

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is still cowabunga!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) September 9, 2016
Taut, sylvan, heartbreaking, Indignation is richly textured beauty rendered for the screen and soul. Thank you @LoganLerman for your craft.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) September 4, 2016
Room + 10 Cloverfield Lane = Don't Breathe. Beautifully shot, meticulously edited, perfect length. At times excruciating, fulla surprises.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) September 2, 2016
Swiss Army Man sure is original!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 31, 2016
I loved pretty much everything about Jason Bourne, especially the wanton destruction of the Riviera and the lack of respect for human life.

visceral hilarious incendiary spectacular colourful wry insightful 🏢🏢HIGH-RISE🏢🏢 unflinching violent bloody sexy frenetic relevant fun

Love & Friendship is an acerbic, costumed, hilarious joy, even when sitting in front of the two most irritating people in the world.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 25, 2016
Nuanced, gentle and deeply quiet, Louder Than Bombs is a triumph of paced exposition and multivalent characters worthy of an artisan.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 21, 2016
I saw some things in Sausage Party I'd never thought possible and I laughed harder than I have in a long, long time. It's out there.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 13, 2016
Commando absolutely glorious – Arnie mows down like 600 million baddies before flying off with Rae Dawn Chong! pic.twitter.com/dJVP4XL00e
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 12, 2016
Surreally earnest, Predator is the apogee of Otherness fear so pervasive in the 80s. Couldn't stop thinking about Arrested Development!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 12, 2016
It could be a hilarious mockumentary that stretches the suspension of disbelief but Weiner is 💯 real, 💯 amazing. Supreme realist journalism.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 10, 2016
Incandescent visuals and fab sounds can't save the deeply misogynist and unforgivably boring Suicide Squad. A truly terrible film.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 4, 2016
Spellbinding! pic.twitter.com/os9WuCu8l8
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) August 3, 2016
Funny, suspenseful, tremendously entertaining, Hitchcock/Truffaut is must-see cinema for film buffs. A joy worthy of those two great names.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 31, 2016
While never straying from a well-traveled path, Sing Street is a mellifluous joy, glorified by wonderful performances and fabulous music.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 29, 2016
Some time ago, I saw Microbe Et Gasoil (Microbe & Gasoline) at the French Film Festival and this is my tweet about it. Idiot mais agréable.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 18, 2016
Ghostbusters is terrific fun! Almost certainly better than the original, which I have not seen. Fast, funny, frenetic. See it in 3D! 👻🔫👍🏻
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 17, 2016
Our Kind Of Traitor is my kinda film! Gentle, considered; elegantly shot in beautiful locales, inc The Emirates; an Oscar-worthy D Lewis.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 16, 2016
Hip-chic Maggie's Plan is a splendid slice of post-grad life /love, realised wintryly via punchy portrayals of likable but flawed academics.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 14, 2016
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is an instantly forgettable romp with sporadic highs. Adam and the Gals are good, Zac ain't funny.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 9, 2016
Star Trek: Beyond is a very silly film interspersed with some admittedly awesome action sequences. Plot is incomprehensible.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) July 7, 2016
Kate Plays Christine has a unique sense of purpose and is good in parts but fails to maintain verisimilitude on a contentious topic.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) June 19, 2016
Everybody Wants Some!! (Linklater's exuberance) is a charming love letter to 1980s fraternal camaraderie. See it with your best friend.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) June 18, 2016
Demolition is extraordinary. I actually cared about Jake Gyllenhaal.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) June 15, 2016
Went to see Teenage Kicks and beforehand a dude says it's the world premiere! Graphic and realist, with good dialogue.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) June 11, 2016
Urgent, intense, surprisingly funny, Money Monster is a hoot! Only occasional lapses into melodrama mar this taught and relevant thriller.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) June 7, 2016
The Hunt For The Wilderpeople is sheer, unbridled joy! Humour strides with pathos and genuine warmth through the majestical NZ bushland.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) June 4, 2016
Now You See Me 2 is a glorious triumph! So many laughs, so many surprises, so much fun! Peak Jesse Eisenberg!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) June 3, 2016
The Nice Guys is a whole bunch of frivolous fun. Enjoy the style, dialogue and violence; don't fret too much on the plot!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) May 26, 2016
Nicest thing I can say about the dreadful Eva No Duerma (Eva Doesn't Sleep) is that it's mercifully short.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) April 15, 2016
The Jungle Book is glorious entertainment, though I'm worried the nuanced commentary on colonialism was lost on the rapt kids cowatching.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) April 10, 2016
BvS:DofJ is a terrifically silly film that could have been excellent with more Lex and less 30 minutes. Affirmed my faith in DC 4 eva!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) April 2, 2016
10 Cloverfield Lane is a visceral and claustrophobic allegory for feminism's fight against white male privilege. And John Goodman.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) March 13, 2016
45 Years is stunning. Filmmaking at its best. Rampling and Courtney give the performances of their vast careers.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) February 18, 2016
The Lady In The Van is very pleasant. Would have been improved by editing out Maggie Smith's character and focusing on Alan Bennett.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) March 27, 2016
What a great film! Realism at its most real time riveting! pic.twitter.com/GnKE1JRMzw

The Hateful Eight is magnificent. Twenty minutes too long but magnificent nonetheless.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) January 17, 2016
Joy is joyous! Definitely the best film I've ever seen about a mop!
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) January 12, 2016
The Danish Girl is extraordinary filmmaking. Twenty minutes shorter and it would be a masterpiece.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) January 21, 2016
Steve Jobs – wow – what a great film! Truly brilliant piece of filmmaking from Danny Boyle. Fassbender, Winslet and Rogen are superb.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) February 11, 2016
Trumbo is very good, in a melodramatic overacting made-for-TV kinda way.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) February 24, 2016
I read Room and enjoyed it. You should read it too.

I laughed, I cried – Brooklyn is a remarkable film. Saoirse Ronan's performance is as magnificent as the film's marketing is terrible.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) February 20, 2016
This week I read and saw Carol and I loved both! Brilliant and revelatory book and wonderfully nuanced adaptation. Rooney Mara is amazing.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) February 3, 2016
Deadpool. Loved it.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) February 21, 2016
The scenery is itself a character in The Revenant. I'm surprised the snow wasn't nominated for an Oscar – it is white, after all.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) January 27, 2016
Spotlight is very good. But also a little bit overwrought.
— Patrick Avenelllllllllll (@Patrickavenell) February 1, 2016
Just saw The Big Short – loved it! Absolutely loved it.
