22 Jump Street (out Jun 19) has two goals in mind - (1) spoofing sequels by poking fun at their predictable elements, and (2) mocking the homoeroticism that underlies many buddy comedies. There are laughs to be had... but the film overplays many of its jokes. Not quite enough material to go the distance. Grade: B.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 (out Jun 19) isn't as exciting as the original. I enjoyed the first film for it's heart warming nature and it's tale of a boy bonding with a dragon. This sequel seems to be more about action with an array of elaborate "dragon fighting" sequences. Grade: B-.

Frank (out Jun 19) is an odd film centred on a struggling band trying to create a new album and a guy with a giant papier-mâché head who never takes it off. I was looking for more to grasp onto here. Was a struggle to work out what this film wanted to be and what I should be taking away. Grade: B-.

Blended (out now) is not very good (to put it politely). It's the story of two single parents (Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore) who meet on a blind date and end up taking their respective children on an African adventure. There's no wit, no charm to any of the jokes. It's not even risqué. Grade: C.

The Rover (out Jun 12) is a grim, futuristic Australian drama about a "man with nothing to lose" who embarks on a quest through the remote outback to find his stolen car. This is an intense film. Music is kept to a minimum. Conversation is kept to a minimum. Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson are fantastic in the leading roles. Grade: A-.

The Face Of Love (out Jun 12) is a film that's really hard to take seriously. A woman falls in love with a guy who is the spitting image of her late husband. It's hard to watch Annette Bening and Ed Harris delivering such corny dialogue and offering such forced, over-the-top facial expressions. Grade: C.

Good Vibrations (out Jun 12) tells the real life story of Terri Hooley - a music lover who opened a record store in Belfast in the 1970s and helped grow the punk rock scene. Thanks to a great performance from Richard Dormer, Hooley's passion and enthusiasm comes through strongly. An inspiring tale. Grade: B+.

The Fault In Our Stars (out Jun 5) features Shailene Woodley as a teenager battling cancer who falls in love and goes on an adventure to Amsterdam. A few scenes feel off (Anne Frank's house, everything with Willem Dafoe) but there's enough chemistry between the two leads to win audiences over. Tissues required. Grade: B.

Edge Of Tomorrow (out Jun 5) is the duck's nuts. It's a sensational action flick from director Doug Liman (Go) that follows a not-so-flash soldier stuck in a Groundhog Day like scenario who is trying to save the world from an alien invasion. It's a creative premise, there's plenty of humour, the aliens are freaky, and the editing over the overlapping timelines is perfect. This is as good as the action genre gets. Grade: A.

Grace Of Monaco (out Jun 5) is a muddled stew of politics, conspiracies, romance, family values and fairy tales. Some elements are quite interesting (such as the tension between France and Monaco in 1962) but like so much of the film, it’s all oversimplified. It all feels too pro Grace Kelly, too anti everyone else. Grade: C+.
