I see a film and I write a few words about it. Sometimes I add a picture.
100. Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice is without doubt, Tim Burton's finest hour. It's a perfect storm of pitch black comedy, fantastic stop motion and practical FX alongside a killer cast and some of the greatest musical numbers ever committed to film.
Unfortunately I can already feel the disappointment of the proposed sequel engulfing me as I write...
99. Easy A
Entertaining reworking of the Scarlett Letter that will take 92 minutes of your life without it feeling wasted.
98. AlanPartridge: Alpha Papa
If you love Partridge then get ready for the best comedy of 2013 and if you are new to the world of Alan, then get ready for the best comedy of 2013!
Glorious!
97. The Kids Are Alright.
Just your standard 'artifically inseminated kids of a lesbian couple meet up with sperm donor dad' Rom Com.
Heart felt, funny and gut punchingly touching, this a warm bath of a film that is so ridiculously well acted, it almost hurts.
96. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Viewing the Wrath of Khan 31 years after it's release (and for the first time) does not do it any favours.It's painfully dated, which would be fine if it wasn't so damn fricking boring.
Not such much 'KHHAAANNN' as 'YAAWWWWNN'.
I have a feeling that others may not agree with me on this... ;-)
95. Gravity
Spectacular, poetic and awe-inspiring.
Without doubt the greatest 3D IMAX experience you will ever have. My jaw hit the floor at least three times. A genuinely astounding experience that should not be missed.
94. Stoker
Directed by Chan-wook Park, Stoker is a solid piece of Asian cinema in a western setting.
It has all the usual tropes; Murder and brutality is a hobby practised by more of the protagonists than not, while law enforcement and the general consequences of death dealing are something of an after thought.
It's ultimately a gruelling experience that any wannabe sadist will enjoy
