Charlie and Barry at the movies: Our kid critics rank their top ten movies of the year.
Charlie (10) and Barry Heath (7) are massive movie fans. They went to see 28 films in 2016. Now after hours of discussion, days of repeat viewings and several brutal fights, they present Chaz and Baz’s official top ten films of the year.
1: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Eddie Redmayne in a scene from, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Charlie: There were tonnes of amazing beasts and I loved Niffler, the black duck beast that steals things.
Barry: He is so cute. This is the best Harry Potter film ever even though he's not in it. It's like the magicversion of playing Pokemon Go.
Barry: Lots of fights. Lots of music. Not much boring girl-boy stuff.
7: The Jungle Book
Baloo and Mowgli in a a scene from The Jungle Book.
Barry: Baloo is hilarious when he's slapping his belly. Bill Murray is my favourite actor.
Charlie: Yeah it rules when Baloo and Bagheera are fighting the monkeys. The animals are so realistic in 3D.
Barry: It was heaps like that Tarzan movie we saw but better.
Charlie: Mum thought Tarzan was really good looking.
8: Batman Vs Superman
A scene from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Barry: This shouldn't be on the list because it's set in the same universe as Suicide Squad.
Charlie: Nah, it's whole different movie. So it should be.
Barry: It's real good but we should've had Dr Strange instead. That was cool too.
9: Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters.
Barry: I think it's equal to the before ones and the before ones are amazing. Slimer is crazy. He fills himself until he's so, so fat and drives Ecto 1.
Charlie: It's great when the electrocuted prisoner ghost appears in the subway. But not as good as the Bill Murray one.
