The third film from Wright and Pegg and largely the same ensemble cast. A proper step up from their previous outings methinks. More like this, please.

#174: Bad Words [2014]
#173: Fantastic Mr. Fox [2009]
#172: The Last Days on Mars [2013]
Yet another sci-fi-alien-zombie-thriller-horror-flick. Sometimes terribly exciting. Sometimes horribly annoing. Sometimes excruciating shaky-cammy. Ultimately a bit disappointing after a truly excellent first act.
| Title: | The Last Days on Mars |
| Director: | Ruairí Robinson |
| Score: | 3/6 |
| Verdict: | Flawed but watchable. |
#171: World War Z [2013]
#170: Evil Under the Sun [1982]
I have to tell you something. There’s a little old prog group from Lyon, France called Poil that I’ve been listening to from time to time. I just discovered they have a brand spanking new album out called Brosaklitt… and… It’s Glorious! Don’t walk, run over to Bandcamp and check it out. And remember: support the artist! I’m getting the double vinyl.

#169: Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks [1976]
#168: A Hard Day’s Night [1964]
#167: The Man Who Never Was [1956]
The slightly tedious story of Operation Mincemeat.
| Title: | The Man Who Never Was |
| Director: | Ronald Neame |
| Score: | 3/6 |
| Major letdown: | They didn’t fire him like a torpedo. |
