I was ill recently and spent 5 days curled up in a blanket on my sofa watching films. Here are the results…
Jaws (1974) – A film of two halves. Each as astounding as the other. 10/10
Babe (1995) – Simple and beautiful. The ending gets me every time. 9/10
Downfall (2004) – Bruno Ganz is Hitler. Terrifying! 8/10
Iron Man (2008) – Robert Downey Jr has found his dream role. Bring on the sequel! 8/10
Ocean’s Eleven (2001) – An ensemble of fun. Justifiable spawned two sequels. 8/10
Starship Troopers (1997) – Political sci-fi action. Paul Verhoven style. 8/10
Bad Boys (1994) – Will Smith and Martin Lawrence actually work well together. Michael Bay at his most reserved! 7/10
Dodgeball (2004) – Ben Stiller handing the lead over to Vince Vaughn. Funny without being annoying. 7/10
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) – Hopefully a glimpse of things to come. Could have been better though. 7/10
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) – Typical Peckinpah western. Thoughful and bloody. 7/10
Planet Terror (2007) – Gory and funny. A huge surprise. 7/10
Death Proof (2007) – Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, action, talk, talk, talk, talk, action. Typical Tarantino but not up to his usual standards. 6/10
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) – Lots of action. Very little point. 6/10
