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'.

24. Contraband

"Bored yet? Keeping watching and you will be."
 I like to feel that I watched this film so you, fair reader, didn't have to. 'Contrabland' would be more apt.

This is a Mark Wahlberg approved remake of an Icelandic thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam.

I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would want to re-make this film if the original is anything like this generic, dull, piece of shit.
