30. Logan Lucky Hoo boy. Okay, we're getting to that really awkward early 30's/late 20's 'good, but not Top 10' point in my list where I end up not really having that all much to say about the movies in question aside from 'Yeah, they're good.' Said movies don't have much in the way of major flaws, yet neither do they really get me...

35. Ferdinand Yeah, strike me as surprised as you are that I enjoyed this movie so much. Hell, I wasn't even originally planning on actually seeing it, considering how much I disliked the trailers. Wouldn't have been the first unappealing Western animation I skipped this year based on trailers/general feeling alone. (Also why you won't be seeing Boss... Continue Reading →

40. Window Horses Proof that Kickstarter can actually do some good every once in a while. Okay, for those unaware as to what this is (which I assume is most people), Window Horses is an animated adaptation of a Canadian Graphic novel of the same name about Rosie Ming, a half-Chinese, half-Iranian girl from Canada invited...

45. The Post Like La La Land last year, this was a movie I was probably more or less always going to like, since I'm a pretty big fan of these sorts of behind-the-scenes journalism movies, like All The President's Men and Spotlight. But I'll confess that this movie disappointed me a little. Honestly, I was... Continue Reading →

50. Ancien and the Magic Tablet/Napping Princess (Seriously, which is the goddamn English title?) Ah… Now, how exactly do I describe this movie to a newcomer? Imagine Inception, except where the dream involved has a significantly more fairy tale/fantasy bent, mixed with a corporate political thriller and a huge dollop of anime tropes, including giant robots and...

55. Lego Batman Hey, remember how at the beginning of the year we all thought that this was going to do gangbusters and that LEGO was going to be one of the next big franchises? Man that dream sure died fast. Anyway, for me, this movie was kinda like the middle ground between the LEGO... Continue Reading →

60. The Limehouse Golem This is one of those movies that I suspect I would’ve enjoyed a lot more if it hadn’t been for the trailer. Not because it gave too much away, mind, but more because it completely missold me as to what the movie was about, much like ‘It Comes at Night’ (which,... Continue Reading →

65. The Great Wall This movie is more or less the definition of a meh blockbuster. There’s some neat stuff about it, like the world-building and (kinda sorta) the premise, but overall it’s super forgettable and more or less falls apart in the third act. Ah well, at least Pedro Pascal is still getting work.... Continue Reading →

70. Lego Ninjago Boy, the LEGO Universe really divebombed this year, didn’t it. I mean, I didn’t hate Lego Batman by any means, but it was kinda disposable and didn’t exactly set the box office on fire. And needless to say, it was a darn sight better than this. I think the best description of... Continue Reading →

75. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets ...At least it wasn't in the bottom ten? Honestly, I do have a bit of a soft spot for these sort of pulpy adventure fantasy/sci-fi movie that everyone else shits on. Or at least I do in theory. In practise, it's more like I secretly root...
