Chef focuses on Jon Favreau, a comedic actor who is famous for directing sci-fi fantasies like Zathura and Iron Man. One day, he is suggested that he should make a movie called Cowboys vs. Aliens, based on a comic book less popular than Iron Man. The critics walk in to the cinema and don't like it at all. This is where Jon has really jumped the shark.

To make up for everything he had done, Jon decides to do a David Gordon Green and go independent. With the help of some friends that took part in his previous movies, he starts to make a new movie that suits his career more than anything else without any Hollywood big shots to tell him what to do. When he has finished it, he screens it in Texas, and then every other state in America, eventually leaving everyone impressed.

Chef is a movie about the difference between being pressured to do things by people who want more blockbusters and making movies by yourself. Give it a shot and see which side you want to be on.

Why waste 2 hours and 45 minutes looking at CGI robots punching each other and humans being stupid when you could be using that time to experience the evolution of people, culture and film itself?

While little boys can enjoy the fast-paced world of Planes, little girls can experience the magic of Tinker Bell. In the future, however, those same boys just might end up liking the other movies a little more.

They're corny, worthier of small-screen releases* and typical modern Disney, and the animation becomes less impressive throughout the years, but I appreciate the Tinker Bell movies for what they are - cute, inventive and moralistic films that know their audience without insulting or boring older viewers too much or spitting on anyone's legacy in a time where much bigger CG films try to be Shrek (even the ones better than these).

*though a little less so than Return to Neverland

As if The Smurfs 1 wasn't bad enough, Grouchy farts and exposes his butt crack shortly afterwards. Also, Vanity witnesses Brendan Gleeson's penis. I hate this.

Kick-Ass was very British. The director and writers were British. The hero and villain were British. It was even filmed in Pinewood. With some guy named Jeff Waldow responsible for the script and direction, Kick-Ass 2 is far too American.

It tries to be badass with attempts at snappy one-liners, but while the action isn't terrible (save for the police officers flying out of their car when that explosion inside could've burned them), the soundtrack isn't special compared to the first and any cliches that weren't present in the first are present here, like Dave bearing romantic interest. Plus, Christopher Mintz-Plasse is an even bigger pussy and Jim Carrey's only present for a few minutes. It looks at the first film like a 12 year old and not someone 12 years older.

Kick-Ass 1 at least made sure that the gore went as far as to blow up someone in a giant microwave, the shift in tone from sick and fun to dark as shit reminded us that being like Dave Lizewski could get us killed for no reason, and the hero eventually managed to be more powerful than Hit-Girl. Kick-Ass 2? Eh, it's sick alright (and I mean zap you with some device that makes you vomit like a cartoon sick), but it's also muddled, and that's just about all there is.

Fuck you, Mark Millar, and your mediocre new writer-director choices. Now Wadlow's off to direct an X-Men spin-off.

When Superman got in a bad mood, he blew out the Olympic torch, un-leaned the Tower of Pisa and spilled oil into the sea. Think about this - Superman's acts of vandalism did far less damage to the world than what he did in Man of Steel.

When Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were busy directing LEGO, they did provide the story and executive production on a sequel to their first film that was generic at best, with replacement on perfect casting, typical comedy clichés and rehashes of jokes from the original.

Of course, they weren't too busy to direct a sequel to 21 Jump Street, and when they did they and the screenwriters made fun of everything that was wrong with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, going as far as to create the biggest anti-sequel-hook in film history.

Let's see what happens when the writers of The Internship and Girl Most Likely show us what they can do with Emmet Brickowski.

Marc Webb's first movie was a happy little romcom named (500) Days of Summer. Come on, cut the guy a break, will ya, Hollywood?
