Do you remember the good old days, back when Porridge was on? Prison used to be a happy place. Full of laughter and comical misunderstandings. That’s all gone. Now it’s about innocent boys, corrupt screws and sweaty shower confrontations. All that gritty prison stuff that Un Prophete did so well. Of course, Ghosted is full of it. It's good stuff, but you wish Ronnie Barker would turn up and make a joke about women's naughty bits.

What's that? You want another list of the Top Films of 2010? Well, I'm too indecisive to only pick 10, so I've widened my selection to include the best 15 films of the year (with five honourable mentions at the bottom).

If you missed any of these, then well done - you have a life. You also successfully disqualified yourself from disagreeing with me. Ha. So if you want to complain about what I put top of the pile, go get Greenberg on DVD. Or at least watch Kick-Ass a minumum of three times. Then we'll talk. Although by then it'll probably be 2011, and all of these films will be long forgotten...

There's nothing like a violent French film. Especially when it comes to crime. Proving that resoundingly well is Jacques Audiard's latest film, A Prophet (Un Prophete), a hard-hitting piece of captivating cinema. Following the rise behind bars of North African teen Malik (Rahim), it's one of the most claustrophic character studies of recent years. Forget Mesrine's Killer Instinct: this guy's clever, resilient and he can see the future. That last bit is where it starts to fall apart.
