Top 5… Trilogies

The Dark Knight Rises promises to end Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy in style when it opens on Friday so here is my rundown of the best trilogies of all time. Here are my rules:
- To make it a trilogy there needs to be a solid thread tying the films together, Park Chan-wook’s “Vengeance trilogy” are not strongly connected enough to count.
- There must be no fourth in the series, the Alien Quadrilogy is out.
- Prequels and reboots don’t count towards a trilogy so the X-Men films are in (although unlikely to make an appearance).

For some reason the Spider-Man films are being rebooted only 5 years after the last one was made. This seemed like a good time to follow up my top 5 prequels with my top 5 reboots.

It’s a good week this week. There are interviews from the future, open-source hardware, floating LEDs and very, very stupid people!

We’ve reached the halfway point of the year and it seems the perfect (and popular) time to recap my top 5 films of 2012 so far. I’m not going to bother re-reviewing them at his stage, I’ll just link back to my original articles.

This week sees Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter hit the big screen and my expectations are really low. However it was the perfect opportunity to list my top 5 vampire movies. One comment though, I have never seen Fright Night or The Lost Boys so they will be sadly missing from my list.

It’s a real high and low for reviews this week. The best film I have seen all year and also followed by the worst. They are Jaws and Red Lights. Can you guess which is which?
