10 Things I Hate About You 1999
The 90s weren't kind to many things, but they've been very, very kind to this film. Julia Stiles absolutely shines as Kat Stratford, in all her pissed-off, articulate, feminist brilliance, and is off-set beautifully by what I consider to be Heath Ledger's magnum opus (okay, that might be a stretch). Nonetheless, 10 Things stands up even now as a love story for the 'crazy', opinionated, intelligent, driven women of the world and is one that I'm going to continue to watch while drunk and lonely for the rest of my days.

10 Things I Hate About You 1999
10 Things, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
1. Heath Ledger with his original hair, and shiny trousers.
2. "I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but you can ever just be whelmed?"
3. Allison Janney and her erotic novel.
4. Letters To Cleo! On a roof!
5. "I've got a dick on my face, don't I?"
6. Baby JGL, and Larissa Oleynik, who really should have been massive.
7. A frankly… -

10 Things I Hate About You 1999
There are certain movies that come out which encapsulate a time, a place, and the people that existed in said time and place. 10 Things I Hate About You, may not have been that movie to define the late 90s generation but it was a good ride while it lasted. From the acting, to the story, to the music, to the small details, all the way to the ending which I thought was rather emotional coming from a teenage romantic…

12 Angry Men 1957
Guilty or not, if you're on trial would you want a juror out collecting his own evidence?
If the other jurors were smarter, they would have asked for an alternate the second #8 whips out the knife. MISTRIAL!

12 Angry Men 1957
Eeee i bloody loved this film. The attention to detail/genuine, conversational tone to the dialogue & the relationship between the characters reminded me of the opening scene of Reservoir Dogs... maybe it's just me though!

12 Angry Men 1957
12 reasons why 12 Angry Men is the best film of the 1950s:
1. It’s a high concept film that delivers beyond the unique hook to create compelling and flawed human characters.
2. The performances are sensational from Henry Fonda (empathetic and unwavering) attempting to change the minds of the other jurors, to the rest of the cast led by Lee J. Cobb. Considering it has such a sizeable main cast it is amazing how well developed each and everyone…

21 Jump Street 2012
Remember how pleasantly surprised you were when you first watched Anchorman and spent the duration of the film pissing yourself?
21 Jump Street does exactly the same thing. This film wasn't on my radar at all, then the reviews came out and they were good, then the word of mouth started to spread so I put aside my pre-conceptions about the film and went with it. I was rewarded with one of the funniest films I've seen in a long long time. Who'd of thought lines like "Hey Korean Jesus" and "Wonder Years Douch" could have me crying with laughter.
Highly recommended! -
21 Jump Street 2012
I don’t much care for either Jonah Hill nor Channing Tatum, in fact their presence in a film is normally a turnoff, yet 21 Jump Street proves that sometimes two wrongs do actually make a right. This is far from sophisticated, and deliberately relies on well worn stereotypes, yet it wholeheartedly embraces its silliness. Bar the bad language this is a lot closer to directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s animated debut, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, than I…
