Recent Rankings
75 T7 Hugo (2011) - Nov 01, 2012
"Much better than the book (and how often can you say that?) but, like the book, the story of Hugo, and the frothing Méliès hero worship, don't gel that well in the end."
40 T1 Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) - Oct 31, 2012
"Short on both comedy and drama, and Ferris is pretty much a douche. Is this what passed for likeable in the 80s?"
55 T3 Up in the Air (2009) - Jul 02, 2012
"I respect the niche that George Clooney has carved out in Hollywood doing serious middlebrow drama, but this didn't do it for me. I think I was more interested in Anna Kendrick's character than Clooney's, and she just disappears for a big stretch of the movie."
80 T8 Brave (2012) - Jul 02, 2012
"Not as original and daring as some of Pixar's best, but still a fun and good natured spin on the princess movie."
45 T2 Prometheus (2012) - Jun 11, 2012
"Just a bunch of special effects (really pretty special effects, admittedly) strung together by an incoherent plot, weak characters, and some vapid philosophising. Fassbender is great, though."
55 T3 Kekexili: Mountain Patrol (2004) - May 20, 2012
"An interesting setting and story, but the movie never really lets you into the heads of the characters."
95 T10 The Truman Show (1998) - May 20, 2012
"A great sci-fi comedy-drama that transcends its reality TV setting to take some affecting swipes at the idea of an interventionist God."
70 T6 The Avengers (2012) - May 06, 2012
"A really solid piece of entertainment, although I suspect I'll have forgotten almost everything about this movie one year from now. Still, it was fun."
90 T10 Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2003) - Apr 29, 2012
"A pure martial arts movie, built around the not inconsiderable joy of admiring Tony Jaa's fifty different ways of kicking a man in the face."
80 T8 The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) - Apr 16, 2012
"An amusing little look at how in-groups bully outsiders, and the lengths the outsider must go for their acceptance. The fact that the outsider is something of a jock, and the in-group incredibly nerdy, helps with the humour."
