Office Christmas Party (2016)


After a really strong set-up and first half, this comedy about the Zenotech corporation's efforts to throw a Christmas party descends, like the party itself, into chaos, abandoning narrative sense, moving the action away from the titular party, and ending on the idea that financial, medical, emotional and organisational woes are best dealt with with a sex and drug orgy, as if the writers themselves lost interest in the film's second half when one of them gave the signal for the others to join him outside for another toke/smoke/chuff/shot/snort/job.

Deadpool (2016)


An especially juvenile entry into Marvel's superhero canon is 2016's Deadpool about a superhero whose superpowers seem to be slow body rejuvenation, an ability to run through machine gun fire, and an inexhaustible stream-of-consciousness prattle about erections, masturbation, blowjobs and other topics Marvel counts on being popular with its target demographic - not me.
