Greg is a self-confessed film fanatic who enjoys the simple things in life: movies, pizza and his bed. His friends call him 'juvenile', but 'Greg' works just as well. He probably needs new friends.
Now is about where the death threats will start coming in. Bare in mind all of these movies are well worth a watch, most of the residing among the finest animated pictures in history, and this ranking could not be more subjective. Grab your pitchforks, rally a mob and let’s revel in the miraculous brilliance of top-tier Pixar!
Well…this won’t be controversial at all. In fairness, with a lineage as prestigious as Pixar’s 16-film run to date, the only possible ranking must be based on pure subjectivity.

The once-great British auteur had become so focused on the stylistic aspects of his recent projects that he neglected narrative and allegorical impact that made his greatest work feel so vital. Last year’s Exodus: Gods and Kings was one of the absolute worst films released …

Eventually, there will come a point when Nicolas Cage will no longer disappoint us. The Oscar-winner, whose previous work includes Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas and…Con Air, has now seemingly committed himself to starring in some of the most incompetent…

Another year; another Luc Besson production. The former king of 90s action cinema has since become Hollywood’s largest purveyor of middling-to-braindead trash, ranging from the puppyish stupidity of Lucy to the outdated white male fantasy of Taken. His latest act of career suicide: debut director ….
