99. The King's Speech 23/03/11

Personally this is one of the best films for 2011! I thought Colin Firth was absolutely astounding. I was amazed with the ease to which he was able to put on a stutter. This film was a really personal insight to the royal family, which makes the viewer really relate and sympathize with the issues one has of being accepted in society. I also loved how this film captured so well the development of King George's and Lionel's friendship. This is defiantly not a film to be missed.

98. Sanctum

I absolutely hated this film when I watched it. This was partly due to the majority of the characters going unrealistically insane, quite quickly. It was also partly due to the fact my friend is a diver and the realisation that he could die while he worked sank in. Cave diving is extremely dangerous and the utter most precautions are taken when diving. Therefore I highly doubt that diving just before a massive storm would have been regard as safe! There was also too much death in the film and it felt like the directors just wanted to get rid of everyone! I did not like this film!

97. Love And Other Drugs 21/01/11

I went to the cinema to see this with a friend and we left in floods of tears! It's a good film with many hilarious moments, which are developed by the witty banter between Gyllenhall and Hathaway's characters. However, the lows in this film are proper tear jerking lows. It is a lovely film but girls, just prepare yourself with a box full of tissues!

96. The Green Hornet

I really enjoyed this film as the lead role is not your typical comic superhero. Britt Reid is the main character and he is brilliant because he is useless as a superhero. Reid would get nowhere without his trusted companion Kato! Reid's uselessness is exploited to create very humorous scenarios and hilarious one liners. Really good film, great for a movie night in with friends or family.

95. Tron 20/01/11

I saw this film in 3D and it was made for 3D! The graphics and special effects are great. I love the music. I love how the music is mixed with digital synthesizers and non-electrical musical instruments. The music complements the storyline, which is reality crossing over on to the grid. This is a film you defiantly need to watch on the big screen to get the overall effect.

94. Back To The Future 2 17/01/11

93. Hairspray 16/01/11

I'm a big fan of musicals but this one not so much. The music was good with a lot of solo and 50's Rock 'n' roll which defiantly got you tapping your feet. However, the storyline I found boring and very predictable... well it is a musical, but I just switched off. Though I did enjoy John Travolta dressed as a Woman. It took me ages to actually work it out it was him!

92. Peter Pan

Any film that has children as the lead roles usually get criticized for their acting ability. However, I though that both Sumpter and Hurd-wood played their characters very well. Captain Hook is played by Jason Isaacs and he does a wonderful job of making Hook that notorious villain we all love. There is a real sense of adventure in this film, which is completely enhanced by the music. It is a great take on J.M. Barrie's book. This is defiantly a great film to watch with the family with youngsters!

91. Knight and Day 22/12/10

I actually quite enjoyed this film. I loved how they had to shoot this film so that Crusie always appeared to be taller than Diaz... awwwww ;).
Its a good little action packed comedy which is nice to snuggle up on the couch and watch... Good night in!

90. Armegeddon 22/12/10

I don't actually see why so many people have said this is an awesome film. I got quite bored watching it. Every time they did anything while in space it ALWAYS went wrong. Its a bit of an over the top film that's trying to be serious but fail dismally at it!
