		<description><![CDATA[January 21st, and I finally get this piece up. Shocking, unforgivable and I'm an utter disgrace, I know.

If it wasn't the fact that OWF was created from my own sperm, I would have been fired a long time ago for my continuing incompetence, no doubt. But better late than never and all that.

This year my "No thanks" award goes to the guys in charge of the U.K. distributions of Me and Orson Welles, Crazy Heart and A Single Man for not giving me a snowball's chance in hell of seeing those flicks, and every year you do nothing more than tempt me to move Stateside.

Sadly, those above three movies never stood a chance of making my list.





What you see before you is my very belated Top Ten Films of 2009 and I just wanna say, 2009 was a very good year for movies. At least it was from where I'm sitting.

There's some bitter and twisted critics out there who wouldn't know a good time at the movies if two tickets to a Michael Mann thrill ride or a Quentin Tarantino spectacle hit them squarely on the forehead and for those out there who can't enjoy the following ten of my ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been somewhat less than prolific with the Top Tens of late, but after finding Shane Meadows’ brilliant mock-rockumentary Le Donk &#38; Scor-Zay-Zee stuffed in my Christmas stocking I felt compelled to document the Top Ten Rock-Docs of all time.

One linear thing you’ll find with most lists chronicling the most epic rockumentaries ever made, aside from the prerequisite lazy going “up to eleven” and including Spinal Tap gag is that these lists can differ massively depending on the musical tastes of the author.

The combination of music and film can, much like Kahlua and Gin, either blow your mind or, in the case of that particular concoction: make you violently sick. Narrowing this list down to ten has been an agonising process (and something that I still haven’t even properly managed to do) but, without further ado, here are my top ten rock-docs of all time:

#10
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
dir. Jeff Feuerzeig
(2006)
Daniel Johnston is somewhat of a folk hero in his native Texas and a cult icon to some of the more well-read music fans around the world.

This 2006 documentary provides insight into the psyche of this manic depressive artist often branded a genius. Suffering from bi-polar disorder and having spent ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Late to the party as ever, I decided to tie this Top Ten in with the recent release of the first Avatar teaser and the hype and debate that has ignited off the back of it.

The revolutionary Avatar, whether instant classic or expensive mistake, will be warmly welcomed into public consciousness by yours truly as it will mark the return to the big screen after a twelve year absence of one of my favourite writers and directors of all time: Mr. James Cameron.

Cameron has long been a cinematic visionary and has helped shape modern cinema as we know it, yet he doesn’t always get the credit and/or recognition he deserves.

So with Avatar right around the corner, here are ten reasons why we should all be very excited about the return of James Cameron, as we count down the Top Ten Works of James Cameron.




#10
Rambo: First Blood Part II
(1985)
Writer

Granted, to make this into a Top Ten I’ve had to include some tenuous Cameron movie involvements, but I couldn’t very well include Piranha II: The Spawning could I? (As much as I would have liked to).

So, sort of a cheat including this here, as Stallone basically ate Cameron’s script for Rambo: First ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been slim pickings for comedies this year on the big screen, but to coincide with the double DVD release yesterday of two of the year’s best efforts: In the Loop and I Love You, Man, and as we are rapidly nearing the end of the first decade of the new millennium, it seemed like an opportune time to count down my Top Ten Comedies of the 21st Century (So Far).

Much like the rules of Dogme, but less confusing, I had certain criteria that must be filled to make the list; so there is no place for hybrids like action-comedies and dramedies (although one self-professed hybrid did sneak in) we are focussing on straight up, 100%, pure comedies, or at least trying to.

Sadly the movie of David Hasselhoff drunkenly eating a burger off the floor didn’t make the cut; but some very funny films did, so sit back, put your feet up and wrap your laughing gear round my Top Ten Comedies of the 21st Century (So Far) and just remember – there’s no accounting for taste.


#10
Hot Rod
(2007)

It probably wouldn’t make most of your lists, but hey, I’m weird like that. I love Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island’s whole ...]]></description>

We all recently bore witness to the abomination that was Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus – the most mind-numbingly awful movie since Jordan met Dane Bowers’ toe… In actual fact the Jordan movie has slightly better CGI – those breasts almost look real… but I digress.



 
To tie-in with possibly the most brain scrambling, out and out dumb movie to ever see the light of day currently polluting our screens, I decided to pay homage to the real king of the brainless movie: The Governator himself, Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger.



 
Arnie is a cinematic icon, there is no questioning that, but he is also responsible for a veritable smorgasbord of some of the most criminal, yet genius puns and one-liners in the history of cinema. So with that in mind, here is my countdown of the Top Ten Brilliantly Awful Arnie One Liners.




 




#10
“He was my college room mate”
from
T2 3D: Battle Across Time

(1996)




 
 
A bit of a cheat as this doesn’t actually come from a cinematically released film (although it is from the most expensive film ever made in terms of length to cost.) 

T2 3D: Battle Across Time is a very impressive 3D show from the Universal Studios Theme ...]]></description>

In the wake of the shocking but not too surprising death recently of the ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson there will undoubtedly be a biopic(s) of the troubled star’s life hot-shotted into production. 

(There has already been one rather creepy biopic on MJ made starring Flex Alex-fucking-ander – yes, the guy from Snakes on a Plane)

In light of this inevitable movie, here at OWF we decided to compile a list of the Top 10 music biopics we’re actually looking forward to seeing.

Some of these artists have been the subject of long-rumoured projects that have not yet escaped development hell, while some of the others are just artists whose stories I think would make a pretty fucking awesome biopic.

Music divides opinion even more than cinema does so no doubt there will be many contentious points on my list, regardless, click to "read more" because after the jump we have the Top 10 Music Biopics Waiting to be Made…




“Civil War”
 

#10

Guns N’ Roses


 
Often referred to as “the most dangerous band in the world” Guns N’ Roses’ ascension to the position of rock royalty and their subsequent implosion has been well documented, both on paper and by the media – but never on film.

Let me just start off by saying that “Drugs are bad, mmmmkay…” and being a drug dealer isn’t really something that should be celebrated…

However, this is a film site, this is a top ten list and Hollywood is littered with immoral, narcotic obsessed scumbags… Enough about producers though, what about the actors and the drug pedalling characters they have portrayed on the big screen…?

Modern cinema loves a good drug tale and we have seen everything from the cautionary to the straight up encouraging so just who are the top 10 drug dealers to have pushed their product on audiences across the world…?


#10
Lance
played by Eric Stoltz
in Pulp Fiction 
(1994)

According to that reliable fountain of information Courtney Love, her late husband Kurt Cobain turned down the role of drug dealer Lance in Quentin Tarantino’s OSCAR-winning Pulp Fiction before the role eventually went to the man who was Marty McFly for a few weeks, Eric Stoltz.

Had Cobain not turned down the role, Love would have played Lance’s better half, human pin-cushion Jody, so goes Love’s tale anyway. But alas that didn’t happen, Rosanna Arquette took on Jody, and the scenes involving Lance and Jody didn’t become a complete farce.

Eric Stoltz’s Lance looks like ...]]></description>

If you were to peruse any greatest films of all time list chances are you would find a ‘gangster’ film pretty high up there, battling it out with the Jedis, Sharks and Tim Robbins.

But who exactly would come out on top if the wise-guys squared off against each other? Who’d end up sleeping with the fishes and who would reign supreme as the big screen don? (I’m done with the clichés now…)

So to celebrate the release of the ridiculously awesome looking Public Enemies I thought I would compile said list, so here is a countdown of the Top 10 Gangster Films to ever hit the big screen and if you don’t like my list don’t put a horses head in my bed… Capiche?
(Okay, now I’m done…)
#10

The Untouchables
(1987)


Based on some of the most infamous figures in organized crime history, directed, and written, by two of cinema’s finest and starring some of the decade’s most bankable stars The Untouchables was always going to be a success, but Brian De Palma’s classic account of the battle between the legendary Al Capone and the relentless Eliot Ness still surpasses expectations.

From the pen of David Mamet, The Untouchables tracks Ness’ struggle to bring down Capone ...]]></description>

The concept of time travel has long been a popular theme to explore in modern entertainment. There have been a plethora of literary entries, TV has recently seemed in love with the concept, with the likes of Tru Calling, Journeyman, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and of course Lost using time travel in their narratives, but what about the big screen attempts to explore this phenomenon?

There have been many different incarnations of the theory of time travel over the years (I even wrote one myself at uni) and people seem to have a real love for the subject, possibly because time travel asks the question of What if…? Something we all do at some point in our lives…

…But I’m digressing into deep and meaningful territory here, so let’s move on!

With the recent release of Time Crimes on DVD, a whole bunch of time travelling going on in the new Star Trek and a new Terminator instalment right around the corner what better time to have a look at the top 10 time travel films of all, err… time.

(And yes, that is a Jean-Claude Van Damme film at number 8!)

		<description><![CDATA[As Cannes is now breathing down everyone’s necks, especially mine, I thought something in honour of Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds would be a fitting tribute. So, without further ado, I present the top ten movie ensembles, hopefully you’ll pick up the kind of flavour I’m suggesting here…

10. The Longest Yard (1974)



Long before Adam Sandler turned Paul Crewe into a sanitised wimp, Burt Reynolds was creating the perfect anti-hero who somehow captured the hearts of cinema goers everywhere despite being homophobic, racist, and all punchy on his lady’s face. It might be an obvious exercise in authority bashing, but the original The Longest Yard still gets the hairs standing up on the back of my neck when Crewe’s boys stick it to the man on the prison playing field. The rag-tag gaggle of psychotics and murderers at the heart of the action- featuring Jaws himself Richard Kiel and genuine footballing article Ray Nitchke within their ranks- are undeniably one of the greatest group of characters to ever grace the screen.

9. Cannonball Run (1981)



Proof, if it were needed that an ensemble don’t necessarily need to be on the same team to be gripping- Cannonball Run channelled the frankly awesome energy of Smokey and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In part reference to the collapse of the Bioshock project, as well as keeping in line with my last list, and  in response to a specific request from our very own resident Argentine Ezequiel, this week, direct from my brain I bring you the most memorable examples of Hollywood’s perpetual flirtation with other mediums. Notice I didn’t say the best, or the worst, so don’t go busting my balls just yet…

10. Resident Evil (2002)

Why so memorable? Because the first two at least didn’t suck when they could have been an awful mess of too much CGI and too little character focus especially with Paul W S Anderson in charge of them: the decision to cast Milla Jovovich was inspired. Watching her kick zombie arse in her short red dress, embodying that particular brand of sexy violence that we fanboys ache for you cant help but marvel at the choice.



9. Max Payne (2008)

Why so memorable? This was the precise moment when video game adaptations aspired to aesthetic greatness- admittedly the project was an overall failure thanks to some awful direction and the ill-advised decision to go for style over substance. Had the Bioshock project gone ahead with its improbable budget ...]]></description>

Every couple of years something like this happens with the release of another marketing department’s wet dream franchise – we’ve had wizards, pirates, hobbits and now: vampires. The pasty bloodsuckers are everywhere at the moment - they’re almost as popular as twitter.

So grab your stake, garlic, silver, cross, holy water and whatever other clichéd vampire-battling paraphernalia you can find because you’re about to face the worst of the worst: Ten Movie Vampires that Well and Truly Sucked…





#10
Louis de Pointe du Lac
played by Brad Pitt
from Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)

A controversial choice no doubt given some of the lamentable movie Vampires that have escaped this list (I’m looking at you Queen of the Damned); but Brad Pitt’s Louis from Interview with the Vampire is deserving of his spot on this list, in my warped mind at least.

You see, I blame this film for kicking off the whole pensive, sexy Vampire with a conscience trend that has plagued modern vampire films for the last decade and a half.

I'm willing to concede that out of all the 'monsters' in horror folklore that the vampire has ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tin-Tin is well on the way, Jonny Quest has been announced, the Thundercats cant be far off, and something very strange is going on with the rights to Hanna-Barbera, with the improbable sounding Jetson’s movie scheduled for 2012. Is this the time for cartoon adaptations? Let’s hope this little lot arent an indication of what’s to come…



10. Transformers (2007)

I know this list is supposed to be my own intellectual property, but there’s no denying that my ignorance of Bayformers would spark some kind of fan-boy riot. The film might have been a great big slice of camp robot shaped frollicks, with too little plot, but the truth is I enjoyed Transformers, in a “please check your brain at the door” kind of way. I’m just not deluded enough to think my own opinion matters here…



9. Dragonball Evolution (2009)

Okay so it was a manga craze before it became an incredible television phenomenon, but the cartoon is my major reference point for the Dragonball universe and it is one that was fundamentally betrayed by this improbably dumb adaptation. Shame on Chow Yun Fat for his part in it.



8. The Flintstones (1994)

The sets were a real artistic triumph; it’s just a shame the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week sees the British cinematic release of Monsters Vs Aliens, so to celebrate I’ve decided to give in to my fantasies and offer up my ideal Versus movies for anyone who cares…



10. Frost Vs Nixon

Now, this could go one of two ways- we could either get Sadie Frost and Cynthia Nixon to have a good old kick-off for no good reason at all, or we could convince Hollywood that Michael Sheen and Frank Langhella arent done yet. For anyone that remembers Celebrity Boxing; seeing an obviously out of shape Ricky Gervais try not to cry while being punched by Grant Bovey might well have been the funniest thing ever. And pitting the deluded ex-Pres and the playboy TV presenter in a similar slog-fest would give me enormous satisfaction.



9. A Polar Bear Vs Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg

We could call it Finally Some Justice Movie.



8. Bond Vs Bourne

Since the last two Bond offerings paid heavy homage to Robert Ludlum’s most famous roof-top-hopping creation, is now the time to pitch America’s finest against Her Majesty’s greatest weapon? The fight scenes alone would be epic, hyper-real gruntfests, and maybe Bourne’s creators could bring back some kind of plot to the Bond franchise. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me explain- by the Industry I don’t just mean about musicians (at least not on its own), I mean the various machinations behind the music: the journalism, the production, the tours, the record labels, and most topically the broadcasting. Basically, biopics just don’t count. See what Im getting at? It’s all very cleverly linked to this week’s British cinematic release of Richard Curtis’ no-doubt feel-good The Boat That Rocked.



10. Airheads

Brendan Fraser definitely finds his feet when playing vapid morons- although George of the Jungle and Dudley Do-Right amazingly both managed to belly flop limply into the abyss never to be watched again. Teaming him with the equal idiocy of Adam Sandler, and the excellent character acting of Steve Buscemi proved to be a wonderful decision, and produced one of the best films about every garage rock-band’s delusions of grandeur. For everyone whose ever picked up a guitar, strummed three out of key Gs and proclaimed themselves a Rock God, Airheads rebellion and hostage taking is a brainless but entertaining departure from the reality of our own mediocrity.



9.  A Mighty Wind

What is it with Christopher Guest and mockumentaries? It would be impossible to compile any kind of tomb on ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To mark the release of The Damned United this week I was charged with the fairly daunting prospect of finding ten movies about football (that’s the round ball and not the misshapen one) that don’t inspire the usual apathy. What follows is a list of the films that I felt offered the best depiction of what the sport represents: the all-encompassing passion, the ardent fervour and also the destructive elements. This is not to say these movies are the most accomplished movies ever committed to the canon- but neither do they deserve to be ignored simply because they use football as a theme: not everything is as bad as Goal!
10. Zidane (2006)


But for one moment of cranial madness, Zinedine Zidane would have retired unblemished, a deity in the eyes of every football fan in the world- the man could do things with a ball that defied physical and logical possibilities. He was an artist and what better way to celebrate his special brand than to create a part documentary, part conceptual art piece, filming a match focused entirely on Zizou, so much so that the events of the match become no more than peripheral. Nothing else in art has come ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of these people should REALLY have known better…

10. Paxton’s a Nazi?
Culprit’s: Bill Paxton and Judge Reinhold
Pat Benatar- Shadows of the Night (1984)

Delicious 80s nonsense from the queen of the narrative pop video. “Shadows of the Night” was one of the worst songs of the decade, but it had a genius, ludicrous video that you can’t fail to love. Surely no-one would believe loveable Judge Reinhold as a hard-case DIRTY DOZEN style airman, or WEIRD SCIENCE’s pile of shit Bill Paxton as a Nazi officer? Bit then. Let’s be honest, this isn’t the most realistic video of all time- the fact that those aeroplanes weren’t discovered with what amounts to a sheet covering them is laughable!


9. Cox in Audience Plant Shocker
Culprit: Courtney Cox
Bruce Springsteen- Dancing in the Dark (1984)

Of course she wasn’t a plant! It was just one of those pleasant coincidences that Courtney Cox happened to be at the front of a Springsteen concert on the exact night that The Boss decided to grab a member of the audience to girate on stage with him. If this wasn’t a work of fiction, the ugly factor of the chosen fan would surely have vastly larger, and there would have been ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so everyone and their slightly deranged murderous mother has done one of these lists, but I don’t care, I’m very opinionated and my view is clearly needed here…

10. Spear to the Groin
FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER (1984)


Victim: Paul (Clyde Hayes)


Possibly the most eye-watering of all the deaths of the franchise. Two questions immediately spring to mind: why in the balls, man? And why did he have to hoist him up as well? Jesus, you’d think Jason was some kind of psychotic kill... oh. Right. The ultimate expression of Jason’s murderous rage as a product of the sexual promiscuousness of his victims’ generation.

9. Leather Tourniquet to the Face
FRIDAY THE 13TH V: A NEW BEGINNING (1985)


Victim: Eddie (John Robert Dixon)


Originally this scene was far more gruesome (like this is much more subtle!), with oodles more brainy bits spurting everywhere; but in fear of the dreaded X-Rating, chiefs pulled the plug and aired this slightly less grim version. I say less grim, the moronic stud gets his head crushed against a tree with a leather strap. Unpleasant. Man-whore gets head squished- another advertisement for keeping it in your pants.

8. Liquid Nitrogen Facial
JASON X (2001)


Victim: Adrienne (Kristi Angus)


Possibly one of the more ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[America is currently embroiled in the seemingly never-ending saga of electing a New President, with (IN)DECISION ‘08 having seemingly been in full swing for so long that BILL CLINTON had still to develop his love of cigars when this thing got started. The job in front of Barack Obama or John McCain is going to be a difficult one; it’s not easy undoing eight years of ineptitude.



In honour of the pending historic election in November let’s take a look at my TOP 10 fictional Presidents to have appeared on the big screen. While there have been some great performances over the years by actors playing real Presidents, only fictitious Presidents are eligible for this list. Now we all know that Dennis Haysbert's David Palmer from 24 is the greatest fictional President to have appeared on the small screen, you heard me Geena Davis, but here are the TOP 10 fictional big screen Commander-In-Chief’s, a group of men who would have all more than likely done a better job than George W. Bush... Well some of them...


#10 PRESIDENT SCHWARZENEGGER
As seen in THE SIMPSONS MOVIE [2007] (Voiced by HARRY SHEARER)

		<description><![CDATA[Wrestling involves a great degree of acting, so it comes as no surprise that a number of wrestlers have attempted to make it in the movies over the years. With the formation of a WWE film division it seems that WWE chairman Vince McMahon is determined to crack the big screen as well as dominating the small screen. Since the Hollywood success of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a number of top wrestling stars have tried to follow in his footsteps and this shows no signs of letting up anytime soon with John Cena working with Die Hard 2 director Renny Harlin on the upcoming 12 Rounds, with no doubt countless other wrestler starring vehicles to follow.

No matter how talented in the ring a wrestler is if they don’t have the charisma to hold an audience’s attention in interviews and promos then they’ll never become a breakout star, so one would think that as the charismatic stars become the big names in the industry and branch out into movies that they’d be able to translate their ability to captivate a live audience onto the big screen, but that isn’t always the case.

In honour of Mickey Rourke's currently filming role as a ...]]></description>
