Transcendence
Not OK Computer – ★★ (NW)
On paper Transcendence has one of the year’s better supporting cast but Paul Bettany and Kate Mara are wasted, Morgan Freeman doesn’t get to do anything other than his auto-pilot-where-do-I-get-paid thing and believe it or not I’d completely forgotten that Cillian Murphy was even in the film until I double-checked a cast list. Rebecca Hall is a great actress when used properly (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Please Give), but here she almost blends into the background, against a sea of average CGI.

Nigel loves stupid films almost as much as he likes clever films. He'll watch anything but is usually drawn to documentaries, North American independent films, Irish cinema and gung-ho, balls-to-the-walls Hollywood blockbusters. Here's what he's been watching.
