Movie Rating
Horrible Bosses is a film that features an all-star cast with the likes of Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis to name but a few. It performed incredibly well at the box office and didn’t fare too badly with critics either – it was awarded a decent 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Aniston’s performance is tongue-in-cheek to say the least as she plays a hyper-sexed dentist. She’s funny and engaging in the role, losing the girl-next-door persona she had become criticised for overplaying in the past. Horrible Bosses and its sequel are well worth a watch.

"This fifth film from von Sternberg and Dietrich is their apotheosis, delirious and excessive, with the most perfectly controlled photography (by Bert Glennon) of any black-and-white film ever made. Dietrich never looked more beautiful, nor flaunted her signature decadent Dietrich persona more fully. Their sixth and final film, The Devil Is a Woman, harshly photographed by von Sternberg himself, just didn’t work. But after The Scarlet Empress, it’s not surprising that neither director nor actor had anywhere better to go, as this film summed up and concluded the greatest actor-director collaboration in film history. And the supporting performances by Louise Dresser, as the empress, and Sam Jaffe, as the mad emperor, are really superb."

Fifth entry in Marvel's 'Phase 3' (that started with Captain America: Civil War), and the last film to star Chris Hemsworth's Thor until Avengers: Infinity War (a whole 2 movies later), that sees Thor take on a more comedic persona than before.

This is also the one that takes inspiration from Planet Hulk as part of its plot thread, in which Thor is forced to partake in Gladiatorial combat against the Hulk (making an appearance for the first time since Age of Ultron) - "he's a friend from work!" - just as Cate Blanchett's Hela is freed from her imprisonment following the death (spoiler!) of a major character early on, and just as she starts a war against Asgard.
