Superior family entertainment from Disney/ Marvel that delivers on all elements of the traditional superhero film.
My 3 year old sons favourite bit: "All of it and Baymax."
129. Guardians of the Galaxy
Chris Pratt channels pre-grumpy Harrison Ford to great effect in a movie that loves mixtapes and 80's nostalgia.
Slightly more heavy handed than I thought it would be and not quite the all singing all dancing blockbuster I was expecting. Although I am still marvelling (#seewhatididthere) at the supporting players Marvel get involved in these movie blocko-de-busters (Glenn Close, John C. Reilly etc.).
Main Takeaway: Chris Pratt can't dance for shit.
128. Ex Machina
An enjoyable, well constructed piece of escapism with an excellent soundtrack that isn't as clever as it thinks it is.
A but like this 'review' really...
127. Gone Girl
To talk about Gone Girl is to ruin it; but needless to say Rosamund Pike is the motherfucking man! (Not a spoiler!)
It's a twisty turny thriller that is pitch black in tone, humour and execution (Again, not a spoiler).
126. Red Heat
Standard Arnie fair with a repellent James Belushi and one of the worst car/ bus chases in cinematic history.
Glorious.
125. Kick Ass 2
A sequel substandard in every way to its predecessor. It also, rather incredibly, manages to circumvent all of the qualities of its (albeit below average) source material.
A complete waste of time.
124. The Sweeney
Ray Winstone plays the guy off of the BET365 ads while Plan B plays the other prick in this joyless 'remake' that surely only got bankrolled due to it's name.
It's fucking hopeless from start to finish.
