20. Overlord Okay, tell me I’m wrong, but this movie’s premise sounds like a schlocky straight-to-DVD bargain bin horror, doesn’t it? A bunch of US Commandos parachuted into France during D-Day discover a secret Nazi science lab dedicated to creating inhuman monsters. Hell, I’m 90% certain that is the plot of at least a handful of supermarket... Continue Reading →

24. Aquaman Full Review here 23. Blockers Okay, this was kind of a massive surprise to me because I had absolutely no expectations for this film. To me this just looked like 'Awful American Sex Comedy No 162'. But, it ended up getting surprisingly good reviews and I was feeling curious, so I decided to... Continue Reading →

28. Incredibles 2 You know, fun fact, I honestly almost forgot to put this on the list? Not because it's incredibly forgettable or anything, no it kept in my mind fair enough, it just literally did not register that I hadn't put anything about it down until I reached the very end of my write-ups...

32. The Equalizer 2 Probably my pick for must unfairly maligned movie of 2018, because, in spite of it getting fairly lukewarm reviews, I honestly really enjoyed this movie. The first Equalizer movie, about a guy who basically starts helping people using his action hero expertise, was a film where I liked a lot of... Continue Reading →

36. Halloween Full Review here. 35. Operation Red Sea So, if you follow China’s box office, you’ll know that last year Wolf Warriors II made like all the money in China last year. And this year, Operation Red Sea made like all the money in China last year. Which isn’t particularly surprising to me because... Continue Reading →

40. Creed 2 I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t really expecting all that much from this sequel, once I heard that Ryan Coogler was no longer directing. And can you really blame me all that much? One only needs to look towards Pacific Rim Uprising to see that sequels to exceptional movies lacking their... Continue Reading →

44. Widows Full review here 43. Annihilation It took me a weirdly long time to get around to watching this. Seriously, it came out in what, February? Yet I didn’t get around to watching it until December and I’m not entirely sure why. After all, I loved director Alex Garland’s previous work, Ex Machina and... Continue Reading →

48. Sorry to Bother You You know, I mentioned this in my Green Book review, but there really were a surprisingly high number of good movies about race and race relations this year. Seriously, I usually only tend to stumble across 2 or 3 in any given year (although I suppose that could arguably say... Continue Reading →

52. Tito and the Birds Full review here 51. Venom Full review here. 50. Alpha Okay, we’re now pretty solidly in the territory of movies I outright unambiguously liked now and this movie was honestly a pretty pleasant surprise in that regard. I’d seen a scattering of trailers and advertisements for it that largely underwhelmed... Continue Reading →

56. White Fang Okay, so apparently the book that this film is based on is actually supposed to be a big deal? I’ll confess I’d never actually heard of it, so maybe it’s just an American thing, but seemingly it's had a bunch of adaptations through the year, culminating in this recent Netflix animated movie...
