138. Lawless

It may be based on a true story but does it really need to be this by the numbers? 

Almost does something really neat with the 'invincible' tag but blows it and reverts to type. It certainly takes the award for 'the best cast in a terrible movie' as it is hard to believe that such stellar performers were part this piece of generic and cliché ridden bollocks.

91. The Place Beyond The Pines

Being a dad changes your opinions about everything. Being a dad certainly will ingratiate you to The Place Beyond The Pines as it glares at the relationship between a father and son.

If I'd seen this film a year ago I would have probably not got as much out of it as I did watching it today. It's an indulgent but lavish affair where Bradley Cooper really steals the show as the guilt plagued Avery Cross.

It could perhaps do with a little trimming but overall it's a fucking quality piece of film making.

21. Chronicle

"Don't look or you'll see the endin- Oh."

Well Chronicle is kind of fun, albeit paper thin fun, but the whole found footage thing is kinda odd.

It all feels a bit, I don't know, naff? Main conceit of the film is that found footage thing is pretty much left for dead as soon as the protagonists discover their powers (via them 'telekinetically controlling the cameras').

All in all it's a reasonable way of spending 90 minutes but there are SO MANY better ways to spend 90 minutes.
