Fatally Flawful
I love a film that makes me angry. Especially when parts are so good paired with garbage. Here are the best inconsistent films of the decade.
Circle (2015)
Best: the first 99% of the film. Worst: That ending!
Tron Legacy (2010)
Best: The Recognizer, Michael Sheen, the arena games, DAFT PUNK. Worst: Plot? Wooden lead, Jeff Bridges playing the same character in The Big Lebowski.
Scott Pilgrim v. the World (2010)
Best: Stylish, charming characters, pretty funny, Jason Schwartzman plays himself. Worst: Ramona Flowers.
Drive (2011)
Best: aesthetics, mood, scorpion jacket, music. Worst: Ryan Gosling as an emotional zombie.
Spring Breakers (2012)
Best: the robbery at the restaurant; James Franco’s Oscar-worthy performance, music. Worst: don’t care about any of the women, thin plot, and that ending? Also, racist. And not ironically.
And, since I don’t like explaining WHY things are funny, here are the best comedies with no explanation. Also, I’m taking this as comedy comedy, not “dark comedy” like Birdman, etc.
What We Do In the Shadows (2014)
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)/ Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015)
Catfight (2016)
Neighbors (2014)
Fort Tilden (2014)
The Overnight (2015)
Our Idiot Brother (2014)
Bridesmaids (2011)
Spy (2015)
22 Jump Street (2015)/ 21 Jump Street (2012)
