A film I gave a reasonably good score to because of how hilariously awful it was, oh dear. Bloody entertaining though.

After savaging Da 5 Bloods a far better film from Spike Lee here.

My best and worst films of, drum roll, 2018.

Director James Wan is far better at visual storytelling than creating a coherent narrative in this exposition loaded, over-complicated and overlong film but being amiable goes an awful long way. Be interesting to see if Amber Heard ever gets a role this prominent again.

Lynne Ramsay and Joaquin Phoenix's incredibly dark drama.

For years whilst Citizen Kane was ranked the greatest film of all time, I said this was, and over the years, that's exactly where it has risen to be. This is a wonderful article about the film coupled with a shorter 10/10 review.

This utterly pointless reboot is as slight as a level in a video game.

The start of the downward spiral in the second failed attempt at rebooting the Star Wars franchise has inexplicably great reviews. I gave it even lower than here on my Star Wars special and it's still only the third worst film.

Middling effort in the Liam Neeson mutli-verse.

Sadly, far less laugh-out-loud funny than previous efforts and with deeply problematic targets (no less than three rows he's had with members of the public on Twitter and a really bad Caitlyn Jenner bit).
