    The Amazing Spider-Man 2

    ★★½

    In 2012 Andrew Garfield and co re-wrote the Spider-Man play book and manage to breathe new life into a tired and seemingly dead or dying franchise. Another re-imagining of the story of Peter Parker, keeping as far away from the old as possible. The first Amazing Spider-Man certainly managed to quell the doubters, the ones who thought 5 years wasn’t a long enough wait for a reboot, with a rather stunning addition to the comic-book / superhero genre.

    A Few Best Men

    ★★★★½

    Utterly hilarious low budget Brit-Aus comedy, destined to be talked about in the same breath as the works of Apatow / McKay etc. Comparisons to The Hangover are null and void as this is superior in pretty much every single way. Contains possibly the funniest wedding speech scene I've ever witnessed!

    Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment

    ★★★★

    Not as brilliant as the first but still plenty of laughs that have stood the test of time. All the regulars on great form, as is Bobcat. Can't beat a bit of 80s slapstick!
