Spider-man and The Odyssey are still leading the box office, says James Cameron-Wilson. At #8 is Jason Statham's latest thriller, Mutiny. He plays a bodyguard on the run after his client is murdered. It's formulaic and very violent but the stuntwork is effective and inventive while the director piles on the suspense, turning a B-movie into a B-plus. #10 is an unsympathetic biopic of chef Antony Bourdain which has a great cast. However, with such a disagreeable protagonist, it is not one of James's favourite foodie films. On Amazon Prime is Mother Mary with Anne Hathaway a former pop star in an oppressive movie full of florid dialogue. Think Bergman's Persona crossed with The Dresser, says James. He ends with the top 10 movies of all time in terms of audience numbers, with the #1 of all time remaining the same as it has for decades.
