    The Stepford Wives

    ★★★½

    Not only is this a powerful thriller, it's also horrifying. It starts fairly slow, then ramps up in suspense and paranoia. I don't want to spoil anything, but some of the scenes will stay with you for a while.

  • Iron Man 3

    Iron Man 3

    ★★★½

    I didn't expect much after Iron Man 2, but this third film has unbelievable depth in terms of character development. The fancy visuals and high-tech gadgets are still there, but we get more of what made Tony Stark such an appealing character in the first film — his weaknesses. The villain exploits all of them and remains a formidable threat up till the end.

  • Disconnect

    Disconnect

    ★★★★

    If you liked Crash and Babel, you'll like Disconnect. The film takes you through several stories but you never feel lost for an instant. Brilliant acting all round, and a good pace makes for a very compelling film. By the way, the film has a great way of adding drama and suspense to the simple act of typing a text message. Sherlock (the BBC series) got there first, but kudos to the producers of Disconnect for using that technique well.
