133. Shaun the Sheep

Technically proficient non-essential procession that had my son asking to leave 20 minutes from the end.

To be fair I think he needed the toilet.

132. Chappie

So after loving District 9 and really trying to enjoy Elysium, Neill Blomkamp seems to be on a similar career trajectory as Jason Reitman.

While Chappie maintains Blomkamp's visual and technical prowess, it has massive holes in the logic (the main supplier of robot policeman has no security whatsoever?) and a depressingly infantile script. 

It's tonally all over the shop and real fucking mess. Here's hoping he doesn't write the script for the Alien Sequel.

131. Captain America - The Winter Soldier

Epic marvel fun that is more James Bond than Iron Man. Does the right thing in putting boring old Cap in with a load of other characters to serve up the best bond film since Skyfall!

130. Big Hero 6

Superior family entertainment from Disney/ Marvel that delivers on all elements of the traditional superhero film.

My 3 year old sons favourite bit: "All of it and Baymax."

129. Guardians of the Galaxy

Chris Pratt channels pre-grumpy Harrison Ford to great effect in a movie that loves mixtapes and 80's nostalgia.

Slightly more heavy handed than I thought it would be and not quite the all singing all dancing blockbuster I was expecting. Although I am still marvelling (#seewhatididthere) at the supporting players Marvel get involved in these movie blocko-de-busters (Glenn Close, John C. Reilly etc.).

Main Takeaway: Chris Pratt can't dance for shit. 

128. Ex Machina

An enjoyable, well constructed piece of escapism with an excellent soundtrack that isn't as clever as it thinks it is.

A but like this 'review' really...

127. Gone Girl

To talk about Gone Girl is to ruin it; but needless to say Rosamund Pike is the motherfucking man! (Not a spoiler!)

It's a twisty turny thriller that is pitch black in tone, humour and execution (Again, not a spoiler).
