As its Rotten Tomatoes score of 92% indicates, "American Hustle" was well received upon its December 2013 release However, its reputation has declined over the past decade as a less-than-gentle reevaluation has branded it "overrated" by many Nevertheless, I stand by the film American Hustle is a flamboyant comedy with a stellar cast, including Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jeremy Renner, and it's a rousing romp from start to finish"

Inspired by a true story, David O Russell's American Hustle follows two con artists, Irv (Cooper) and Sydney (Adams), who are sent undercover by an FBI agent (Cooper) in a sting operation to catch a corrupt New Jersey mayor (Jeremy Renner) red-handed The film focuses on Bale and Sydney (Adams) However, the entire operation is threatened by Irv's jealous wife (Lawrence)

Calling "Back to the Future" an 80s classic is like saying Lionel Messi is pretty good at soccer This sci-fi comedy with a time travel twist is truly legendary, and with good reason Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film will celebrate its 40th anniversary in July 2025 and remains as quotable, thrilling, and relentlessly entertaining as ever

Tom Hanks gives one of his most powerful performances in Captain Phillips, a gripping thriller from director Paul Greengrass (Jason Bourne) Hanks plays the captain of a merchant ship boarded by Somali pirates led by the determined Muse (Barkhad Abdi) Phillips tries to protect his crew at all costs, but the pirates plot to get millions of dollars as ransom What follows is an almost unbearably dramatic standoff between the two sides

Based on a true story, "Captain Phillips" is one of the most intense films I've ever seen, and it is a huge success in replacing Hollywood cheese with a down-to-earth, gritty tone This is no "Die Hard on a Boat" Phillips is no action hero Instead, Hanks plays a brave but ordinary man in an impossible situation with genuine humanity Not to mention that Abdi is equally brilliant Captain Phillips is not to be missed"

Before the popularity of comic book movies exploded in the 2010s, the genre's best film was Sam Raimi's (who recently reunited with Marvel to direct 2022's "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness") It was the Web Sling trilogy While the first "Spider-Man," released in 2002, holds a special place in my heart, there is no doubt that "Spider-Man 2" is the outstanding film of the trilogy It is still considered by many to be the best of Spidey's epic films

In "Spider-Man 2," Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) confronts Dr Otto Okatobius (Alfred Molina), whose failed experiment transforms him into the villain Doc Ock At the same time, Parker struggles more than ever to balance fighting crime and making time for his best friend Harry Osborn (James Franco) and his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) There's action, there's adventure comedy, and this super sequel is chock full of iconic online memes

As far as I'm concerned, "Matilda" is one of the best family films ever made This beloved '90s fantasy comedy was adapted from Roald Dahl's children's book of the same name and directed by Danny DeVito (who also has a small but memorable supporting role) It's funny, charming, surprisingly thrilling (with a couple of clever storylines), and has a great message at its core You can't help but love it

Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) doesn't fit in with her cruel family Just having mindless parents at home is bad enough, but her school principal, Miss Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), is even more evil Fortunately, she has the support of the beautiful Miss Honey (Embeth Davids), who makes each day bearable But when Matilda discovers she has magical powers, she realizes she may be able to change her story and fight back against the bullies once and for all
