De Niro at his nutballs best, Scorsese in his prime and it's under two hours long!
INCREDIBLE!!!
69. Salt
I was initially surprised by Salt. At first it appeared that a mainstream blockbuster might be attempting to subvert the genre conventions and flip the whole thing around.
Sure enough though, the final act reverts everything to type. So after an hour of dull action set pieces and some of the worst CGI ever committed to film, you're left feeling you should've watched something else much less boring instead.
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.
67. Four Brothers
A case of it's so bad, it's almost good. Although the scummy goodness doesn't quite make it to the surface. It's just a piece of crap with one good action scene and it's morals firmly shoved up Mark Wahlbergs arse.
66. Premium Rush
An average bike-based flick with an exceptional cast.
It's a strange mix - the film doesn't really know what genre to stick with (which is a problem). One minute it's a revenge thriller, the next a high octane action race-a-thon comedy.
It ends up not being enough of anything and what your left with an unsatisfactory experience all round. Certainly NOT as good as BMX Bandits.
65. Fracture
A cripplingly average thriller with a 'twist' that you can see coming almost before the film begins.
64. The Dark Knight Returns Part 2
Continues the good work of part 1 and enjoyably extends the Supes v Bats fight sequence for suitably epic results. A good quality retelling of one the best comic books ever.
