99. Easy A

Entertaining reworking of the Scarlett Letter that will take 92 minutes of your life without it feeling wasted.

74. Hot Fuzz

Hot Fuzz is in the same camp as Kick Ass, due to the fact I enjoyed it far more the second time around. 

It has an amazing cast of Brit flick royalty and all the team are on top form; The only downer is the over reliance on the action scene references - particularly Point Break - lead it to feel a little derivative.

68. The Campaign

While The Campaign has been roundly battered by critics I have to say I derived some guilty pleasure from it.

It is, in all intent and purposes, 'Trading Places Lite' so even with this in mind it does have quite a few Ferrell based laughs and some general gross out niceties. Meanwhile Galifianakis gets the shit stick when it comes to accents.

61. Silver Linings Playbook

Silver Linings Playbook is not so much about mental illness and more about the two protagonists finding each other. It's a straight up rom-com for me and I have to say that Jennifer Lawrence is staggeringly good in it!!!

Not only does she look taller than I thought (or is Bradley Cooper a short arse?) she is sexy, vulnerable, enigmatic, smart and spunky as the 'life has dealt me a pretty shitty hand'- Tiffany.

It's a really top notch cast with all the leads getting their acting glands a thorough work out. De Niro is utterly brilliant as the grouchy sport obsessed dad (Pat Snr.) and Cooper is also great as the lead (Pat Jnr.). Not quite Oscar worthy for me but their something about Cooper that is always appealling (I thinks it's his accent?) and I always enjoy his presence and performance.

Well, apart from in THIS anyway.

60. Ted

While Ted is good fun; it is as Riggs and Murtaugh (circa Lethal Weapon) would say, 'pretty fucking thin.'

At times it feels like an extended episode of Family Guy, which is no bad thing, and while 'the fight scene' is a highlight and there are many amusing Flash Gordon inspired moments, as a whole it's just not as great as it could have been.

Overall then, a 'plenty of laughs' out of 'could have been awful'.

28. Iron Sky

I had a lot of goodwill towards Iron Sky before I'd even seen it. Much of that goodwill remains after seeing it although it does feel a bit Coming to America with Nazis at times...

You can't really fault the ambition of the whole project but the film really doesn't deliver like the film it should have been. It is much heavier on the comedy than I thought it was going to be and the whole ' Nazis coming back from the moon' never really got into full swing for me - far too many space battles for my liking, rather than head to head Nazi bashing.

Overall you should see this as it looks incredible, it's very enjoyable and it has Udo Kier in it!!! Also female lead Julia Dietze is par-tic-ularly hot :-)

20. 21 Jump Street

"I thought there would be more car chases in this job."

Well this was an unexpected pleasure. After seeing the trailer that sold this movie as a trashy re-make/ re-imagining, I expected practically nothing from 21 Jump Street.

I couldn't have been more wrong! It's smart, funny, overblown and straight up hilarious at times. Jonah Hill (the not so Slim Shady) deserves particular credit as (along with Michael Bacall) he delivers a firecracker of a script that bounces along at a jaunty pace, that is self aware and a real spikey treat.

The whole role reversal set up works really well and it's also great to see Ice Cube in a role as a nasty ass motherfucker for a change.

This is my favourite comedy of 2012 so far. BOOM!
