85. The World's End


Watching the trailer for The World's End I thought:

    "Great! Pegg & Frost in a drinking based reunion comedy with heavy references to the early 90's. I'm in!"

Then they drop in all the 'world get taken over by aliens' gubbins and I'm like:

    "Oh..."

I'm happy to report then, that it all kind of works out to be one the most enjoyable films of the summer. It's has all the ingredients of the perfect saturday night movie; Drinking, swearing, laughing, fighting and alien decapitation fun!

And it's made all the better with an extra beardy slice of Bronhom.

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.

39. The Bourne Ultimatium


The Bourne Ultimatum kicks ass! It's a blazing chase from start to finish, punctuated with confusing fight scenes that Paul Greengrass will seemingly never get right (I'd like to see what's actually happening rather than a load of confusing steady cam mess).

Although the film doesn't overly suffer from this as the whole cast are rip roaring evil or heroic in equal measure. A top spy romp and certainly better than any of the Bonds with Crap Bond.
