115. Machete


Great first 2/3s but then blows the finale with a drawn out flabby final act. But then whaddya expect from Robert Rodriguez? He probably takes 15 minutes to flick a light switch...

It's shit, albeit good shit but not great shit.

114. Robocop - The Directors Cut


Just about best film in the world if you're a 15 to 56 year old male. It has everything a growing boy needs! 

Now with even more blood, exploding arms and heads (courtesy of animatronic Weller) in Verhoven's masterful Directors Cut.

113. The Princess Bride


 Beautifully judged whole hearted fun with many memorable lines that I'm not going to quote here.

112. Drive


Excellent murder-based romance with Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. If you haven't seen it yet then I almost give up.

Includes a top quality lift based head stomping and very little actual driving...

111. Working Girl


Big hair and warm hearts are the order of the day for this working class girl comes good tale featuring Melanie Griffith, Han Solo and Ripley.

Really reminds you how bad hair was in the 80's.

110. The Karate Kid


Teen revenge at its best and with a lot more swears than I remember...

109. Now You See Me


Enjoyable, high gloss caper with an excellent cast and a reasonably poor 3rd act. The biggest trick this movie pulls off is making Jesse Eisenberg look cool.

108. The Raid 2


After thoroughly enjoying the The Raid I was incredibly excited to launch myself into the The Raid 2 and oh lordy does it deliver!!

The most impressive thing about it is the sheer amount of ideas and creativity packed into a single fight scene. There is more here in a few seconds than most most Hollywood action flicks put into an entire franchise (I'm looking at you The Expendables)

Also good news for blood fans, the sequel is considerably more red and wet than the first instalment; So much so I kind of wanted one of the bad guys to just die, rather than suffer more limb gouging punishment.
