Mad Max: Fury Road (out May 14) is one of the more creative action films that we’ve seen in recent years. It begins with a well-choreographed chase sequence that never really stops. Except for a handful of very short detours, this is two hours of unrelenting warfare. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an action film with less dialogue. Intense and easily to follow. This is great stuff. Grade: A.

A Royal Night Out (out May 14) is a fictitious comedy that follows princesses Elizabeth and Margaret as they take to the streets of London and celebrate V.E. Day in May 1945. Production values are strong but the comedic moments are too far-fetched. Most characters come across as bumbling fools. Grade: C+.

The Clouds Of Sils Maria (out May 7) is about the curious relationship between a renowned actress (Juliette Binoche) and her hard working assistant (Kristen Stewart). Performances are great but the intrigue built in the early stages fizzles with a slow, drawn out finale. Grade: B-.

Pitch Perfect 2 (out May 7) is a safe follow up to the 2012 original that sees the same characters delivering the same types of jokes. With a limited, Step Up-like storyline and not much to add in the way of character development, the film uses music to fill the remainder of the two hour running time. Grade: C+.

Ex Machina (out May 7) is an unsettling drama about a reclusive scientist who creates a robot with artificial intelligence and then enlists the help of a young computer guru to see if passes the Turing Test. The more you think about it, the less sense it makes. Still, it finishes on a high and makes a strong point. Grade: B.

Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter (out Apr 30) is based on an urban legend and follows a 29-year-old Japanese woman who watches the movie Fargo and then travels to America in search of hidden treasure. Not sure about the ending but it's got a superb leading performance from Rinko Kikuchi as the troubled, puzzling Kumiko. Grade: B+.

Unfriended (out Apr 30) is effectively a Skype phone call between a group of high school students who are being taunted by the ghost of their deceased friend. It's a creative horror thriller in the sense that we're watching a computer screen for the entire film. Not quite enough suspense to last 80 minutes but still entertains. Grade: B.

Banksy Does New York (out Apr 23) is a documentary about an acclaimed graffiti artist who quietly places a series of art pieces across New York City. Asking questions about the value of modern day art, it's a film that provided me with plenty of conversation starters. Grade: B+.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron (out Apr 23) sees our beloved superheroes create their own villain to defeat. Iron Man is to blame but thankfully the others are willing to forgive and forget. The film takes a long time to establish itself and character development is underdone. The creative action sequences try to compensate. Grade: B.

Boychoir (out Apr 23) is the story of a shy, troubled 12-year-old who joins an elite choir school and becomes their star student. Yes, it's full of clichés. Yes, it's trying too hard to win over the audience. I didn't care though. The honest, heartfelt performances from the whole cast won me over. Newcomer Garrett Wareing is terrific. Grade: B+.
