I’ve seen 13 of the 28 films on the chart, less than I thought. Favorites are – the X-Men series, Jack the Giant Slayer, About a Boy, Warm Bodies, Clash of the Titans, Collide and Mad Max Fury Road.
I’ve seen The Weather Man but can’t remember it much. I tend to confuse it with another Nic Cage movie The Family Man.
The Favorite is not a favorite but it kept me watching, I don’t think I yawned once.
Good to see two sci-fi epics at the top of the critics chart.
Nice work Bruce. Vote Up.
Hey Steve….thanks for checking out our Nicholas Hoult page. Tally count…19 for me and 13 for you. I think WoC and I are going to watch The Current War tonight….so my tally will be at 20 very soon. I have seen all of your favorites….liked them all with the exception of Clash of the Titans. As for The Weather Man….that is a downer of a movie…that even a supporting role by Michael Caine does not lift it above average. Good feedback as always.
P.S. Thanks for the headsup up UMR being down this morning.
