Hello, Toby Gold here, and welcome to another Top 10 List. Today, I'll be counting down my Top 10 John Hurt performances. Sir John Vincent Hurt was my all-time favourite actor, and he passed away last year of pancreatic cancer. For this list, I've chosen my favourite film and television performances that Hurt acted. In case you haven't seen the movie, I will issue a spoiler alert. So, let's begin. 10. Harold Oxley -- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull  (2008) Say what you want about the fourth Indiana Jones film, but for me, Hurt made the film worth watching. As Harold "Ox" Oxley, Hurt plays a father figure to the man in the hat's long-lost son, Mutt Williams, played by Shia LaBeouf. Ox has an obsession with the crystal skulls, crystalline objects that resemble craniums, and spends a large sum of the film in an eccentric trance as a result. It was fun to see Hurt in an Indiana Jones  film, especially as a crazy recluse, bu...

Hello, Toby Gold here and welcome to another Top 10 List. Today, I'm going to be counting down my Top 10 Movie Villains Who Had a Valid Point. For this list, I've chosen cinematic baddies who may be evil, but had understandable reasons for their actions. If you haven't seen the movie, I will issue a spoiler alert. You have been warned. So, let's begin. 10. John "Jigsaw" Kramer -- Saw  franchise (2004-present) In this brutal horror franchise, John Kramer is a former civil engineer who suffers from an inoperable frontal lobe tumour developing from colon cancer. After being diagnosed, he tried to end his suffering. However, he survived his suicide attempt with a newfound appreciation for life and a mission to teach others to appreciate their blessings. Unfortunately, his methods involve forcing people into deadly scenarios in which they must inflict harm upon themselves and/or others in order to survive. Unlike most serial killers in fiction, J...

I saw Christopher Robin today. It brought back many happy memories from my childhood. I nearly cried with joy when they played the old theme. In it, Rodney Copperbottom (voice of Ewan McGregor, Robots ) is a grown-up Christopher Robin, who married Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell, Marvel Cinematic Universe ), works for Mycroft Holmes (Mark Gatiss, Sherlock ), and has left the Hundred Acre Wood behind. That is, until his old friend Dr. Ivo Robotnik (voice of Jim Cummings, SatAM ) reenters his life, along with Fuzzy Lumpkins (voice of Jim Cummings, The Powerpuff Girls ), the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi, Doctor Who ), Gunnar Eversol (Toby Jones, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ), Eddie Stark (Brad Garrett, 'Til Death ), and the Wachatian Princess (Sophie Okonedo, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls ). Like in Jurassic Park , Rabbit says that the Heffalumps can't see the CGI cast if they move. Like in Alice in Wonderland  and Return to Oz , the fantasy world from the protagonist's yout...

Did you know that Finding Dory  is the same story as another Pixar sequel? That's right. Toy Story 2 . Let me tell you why. After the events of the first film ( Toy Story ;  Finding Nemo ), a primary character (Woody; Dory) is separated from the rest of his/her friends (Woody is stolen by Al McWhiggin, a greedy toy collector; Dory has a flashback and goes out to find her parents, and is later captured by staff members at the Marine Life Institute) after going outside (Woody tries to rescue Wheezy, an abandoned penguin squeeze toy, from a yard sale; Dory goes on a field trip to witness the migration of the stingrays) the main setting (Andy's house; Great Barrier Reef). The main character's best friend (Buzz Lightyear; Marlin) goes after him/her (Buzz, along with Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, and Rex, set out to rescue Woody; Marlin and his son, Nemo, accompany Dory on her journey to find her parents). The main character ends up in an enclosed space (Al's apartment...

Yesterday, I saw a biographical comedy-drama film called Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot . I believe that deserves an Oscar. This is how I see it. Kenai (voice of Joaquin Phoenix, Brother Bear *) is an alcoholic who is rendered paraplegic after a car accident involving a drunk Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black, Tropic Thunder ). With the help of a charismatic sponsor, Kenai finds a new lease on life drawing off-colour newspaper cartoons. Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara, Carol ) is Kenai's girlfriend.

Hello, Toby Gold here and welcome to another Top 10 List. Today I'll be counting down my Top 10 Good Guys Turned Bad in Film. Since I already did my Top 10 Bad Guys Turned Good in Film, I thought I would complete the circle. For this list, I will show you characters in film who start off as good guys, only to become really bad. I'm excluding characters who were evil from the start. In case you haven't seen the movie, I will issue a spoiler alert. So, let's begin! 10. Carrie White - Carrie  (1976) In this blood-soaked Stephen King classic, Carrie White is a shy, unpopular high school student who is a victim of bullying, a situation not helped by the fact that her mother is a religious nutcase. Carrie's miserable life comes to a head during a high school prom, when some students kill a pig and dump its blood on her as a cruel joke. This causes her to unleash her long-hidden telekinetic powers, killing everyone who wronged her in various brutal ways. Aft...

I saw Ocean's 8  today. It is a female-led version of the 2001 heist film Ocean's Eleven . The film was entertaining, and I enjoyed it. This is how I see it. Scarlet Overkill (voice of Sandra Bullock, Minions *) teams up with Lady Tremaine (Cate Blanchett, Cinderella ), Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Anne Hathaway, The Dark Knight Rises ), Tip Tucci (voice of Rihanna, Home *), Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling, Inside Out *), and Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter, Harry Potter ) to get revenge on Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage, Captain America: The First Avenger ) for betraying her to the police. Peter Rabbit (voice of James Corden, Peter Rabbit ) is an insurance agent.
