Who would have guessed that any film called "The Lego Movie", made up almost entirely of animated pieces of lego, would be so brilliant but there you have it, as they say. With a truly terrific script from co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller that rips off a whole host of sci-fi films and as many superhero movies as you can name, some of the best animation ever put on the screen, (visually this is a total mind-fuck), and an Oscar-worthy voice-over performance from Chris Pratt, not to mention an inspired cameo by a well-known comedy superstar, this is as good as movies get. Young kids will love it, their older siblings will love it and their parents will positively wet themselves with glee. Indeed, everything is awesome.The films reviewed here represent those I have liked or loved over the years. It is not a list of my favourite films but all the films reviewed here are worth seeing and worth seeking out. I know many of you won't agree with me on a lot of these but hopefully you will grant me, and the films that appear here, our place in the sun. Thanks for reading.
