there were some interesting ideas but got lost in the dull chick flick stuff and badly directed action.
I enjoyed the first third... not much after that. everything in the woods was boring due to a really annoying central character. there are plot holes large enough to fly an alien spaceship through that really distracted me.
well I gotta head into town anyway so might as well go to the cinema while I'm there. and aiming for the 10:45am showing gives me an incentive to be up early tomorrow.
doesn't colin firth show eggsy his dog's corpse in his toilet and he's like, "of course I didn't kill him, I shot him in the leg and he was loyal to me until he died of old age"?

"Take Hitler and stick him on the funny page."
Released: 1940
Director: Howard Hanks
Now... let's head back a few decades. This news-based screwball has imprinted itself well into American society, and is even in public domain if you wish to check it out on Youtube. HIS GIRL FRIDAY is delivered straight to #29 on the list.

"Remember - there's no 'I' in 'Team America'."
Released: 2004
Director: Trey Parker
After the SOUTH PARK film debuted on our list, it's only natural that Trey Parker and Matt Stone's outrageous follow-up would soon swoop in to save the list. TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE is #30.
Yeah, one thing I like about seeing almost all movies for free is that "value for money" (whatever that means) never factors into my judgement of something. All it takes from me is my time.
