86. Con Air

Just look at the hair.

I think half the FX budget must have gone on it as Con Air has without doubt some of the worst CGI & green screen FX ever committed to screen.

Yep, technically this film had not aged well but its really a great example of that bygone age when 15/18 rated action movies could be massive box office hits.

Con Air is high concept tomfoolery of the highest order and hits every note pretty much on the button. The only downside is the sluggish final act where Cyrus the virus suffers the most forgettable villain offing that you won't be remembering any time soon.

85. The World's End

Watching the trailer for The World's End I thought:

    "Great! Pegg & Frost in a drinking based reunion comedy with heavy references to the early 90's. I'm in!"

Then they drop in all the 'world get taken over by aliens' gubbins and I'm like:

    "Oh..."

I'm happy to report then, that it all kind of works out to be one the most enjoyable films of the summer. It's has all the ingredients of the perfect saturday night movie; Drinking, swearing, laughing, fighting and alien decapitation fun!

And it's made all the better with an extra beardy slice of Bronhom.

84. A Field In England

Ben Wheatley?

Reece Shearsmith?

Michael Smiley?

Good, if slightly mystifing fun in a field.

83. Seven Psychopaths

There is a point in Seven Psychopaths when a character states how the film should turn out and I was thinking "oh, I hope they don't do that." They do; The film then loses a bit of pace, some direction until it eventually still meets the same conclusion 20 minutes after it should have done.

Not to say the film is bad or anything; It's not. It's bloody brilliant most of the time but final third feels and a little sluggish until the perky/ smart final few minutes.

82. Star Trek Into Darkness

Enjoyable summer blockbuster with Benedict Bumbercatch totally stealing the show as the scenery chewing super terrorist, John Harrison.

The film looks beautiful and is not only good humoured, it's really funny as well - registering well over 7 laughs on the laugh-o-meter. Marvellous stuff!
