I literally just rewatched Planet Terror, and in addition to being a fantastically entertaining romp, it's also a hotbed of utterly superb jokes. I don't know why the man doesn't start making straight-up comedies; he was born for it.

Gags this time, please. I'll wait.

I thought that The Martian was poorly directed too. He's now expressly a masterful world builder with no real interest in story or performance. He makes everything look nice, whacks the camera down and just assumes that everything else will somehow just fall into place. Covenant needed an inventive hand to wring drama

I heartily recommend this film for one reason: I saw it with five friends, and three of us walked out ranting and raving about how great it was, while the other three were spitting bullets about what was easily the worst film in the series.

I've seen Grimsby twice, and laughed the whole way through it. I wouldn't want to even attempt to pen a proper rebuttal, because the film is so breathtakingly stupid. But I have a feeling that minor league cult status awaits.

Goldmember is underrated.

No. Hence my initial statement.

William Friedkin is a pretty ordinary filmmaker with a pretty ordinary CV, but To Live and Die in L.A is probably the single most underrated film in history.

The ice-cold response given to this film by this very site when it debuted at Sundance is the main reason I never sought it out. Interesting comedies are so goddamn rare. Time to check it out.

Crackle stopped existing in Europe about three years ago. You'd think the ad revenue would more than sustain the upkeep of an EU Crackle app for phones and consoles…

Demon Days has aged just fine.

I can't remember where I read it, but Roger Ebert once said of Lydon that every single thing he does is a failure to some degree. It's so true.

How very interesting. You really are a true vulgarian aren't you?

I still can't believe that Taken fence-jumping clip is real. Nobody could have edited that sober.

Tim Allen is a bad hombre. And overrated.

I'm glad we're judging X-Men movies on their box office receipts. I'm sure we can all agree that X3 was the real gold standard.

I know absolutely nothing about this guy, but he sounds like a right banned British colloquialism.

To those dissing Rickman's accent, check out the third film when they try to pull the same stunt with one of Jeremy Irons' goons. An American actor does literally the worst German accent in HISTORY ("McClane IST HEYER!") and then looks like a smug Houdini when he subsequently talks to Samuel L Jackson in his natural

Nicholson never struck me as a bigot.
