Wanted (2008/USA)It’s hard to know if you’re laughing at, or with this film. The hilariously preposterous stunts are quite entertaining but the droll pseudo-solemn moments are highly aggravating. Arguably the stupidest film of all time (and certainly holds the record for most slo-mo used)
The Italian Job (2003/USA)
Not really much to this fairly threadbare heist movie. It seems to bank everything on a grand-stand finish but the deficiency of wit or guile may have you turning off before hand
I, Robot (2004/USA)
Surprisingly solid sci-fi thriller which provides the action and drama but doesn’t quite make the leap to stirring your imagination the way the best examples of the genre do.
Superbad (2007/USA)
Exceeded my expectations of another “American Pie”, with its more grounded approach and the undeniable charm of the two leads. There’s still plenty of “frat-boy” humour but its handled with a little more nous which gives this the edge on most, recent teenage comedies.
Superhero Movie (2008/USA)
One of the better “…..Movie”, films but suffers from the same flaw as the others in that all the jokes are used up by the time it’s half way through. The want for a more creative story is evident as it sticks rigidly to the Spiderman plot when so much more spoofingly-good tomfoolery could’ve been had.
