Before we dig into my personal list, a note: these lists are by definition subjective. So without further ado, here are my top 10 films of 2018. While the script is crackling and the mise-en-scene is eye-popping, its the performances that really makeThe Favouritespecial....

Its that time of year again my friends! Its a frustrating albeit decent series that just never manages to truly find its footing. Its a guilty thrill, always good for a laugh, but never really achieving a level past that.

I’ve also included lighter categories like Best Villain and Best Action Scene among others. I’m sure you’ll disagree with some or all of my choices! But among these five, there was never really any doubt in Elliott. He has maybe five or six scenes total, but he hits it out of the park every time. Its an astounding performance from an actor whos long overdue for widespread recognition. And Im not someone who loves everyone of his movies....

If there’s one list I love writing every year, it’s this one. A popcorn movie doesn’t make you weep, it doesn’t demand thoughtful introspection. Popcorn movies are easy, breezy and fun. There will be more honorable mentions at the end, but these two deserved a special spotlight. Even with those titles off the list, it’s been one hell of a year for popcorn entertainment. So yeah, there’sa lotto chose from....

Superhero movies got weird. Superhero movies got animated. Superhero stories are absolutely, positively here to stay. But as pretty much any X-Men villain will tell you, not all those with superpowers were created equal. So here, I’ve ranked all seven superhero movies that were released in theaters in 2018.
