I reccommend all of Leslie Nielson's comedies, including the obscure ones like Space Travesty, and the Bad Golf Trilogy
Seconded.

Went to see Chappie
It wasn't nearly as bad as the reviews said it would be. There were a few physically impossible things that happened in movie such as scanning a robot head with a neural helmet designed for humans but the movie was pretty nice in the sci to sense. Parts of it reminded me of blade runner with there being a sentient computer/robot out and about but in this movie Chappie, the sentient computer, acted like a super smart human where he had to learn everything when he was switched on. The movie touched on mortality and how morals can be stretched and bent when someone is being manipulated, especialy since that someone doesn't know better. The movie got pretty depressing at one point but all in all was a good movie.

I've just finished watching 'Beyond' - a low budged Brit film about pre- and post-apocalypse and/or relationships. Somehow it's got zero reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and nobody seems to have noticed its existence.

It's a bit like 'Stay' (a terribly underrated film itself, imo) in atmosphere and (kinda-sorta) conceit, and a bit like 'Last Night' (an awesome film) in themes.

Recommended for those who like brooding low-burners. Don't go in expecting alien invasions, though.

Only Lovers Left Alive.
Yes! That one's good too. Albeit it's pretty much standard Jarmush - fans should gobble it up, but if you've seen any other of his films and didn't like it then you might want to give it a pass.

Spot-on casting in this one.


Speaking of recent vampire films, anyone seen 'What we do in the shadows'? An aussie pseudo-documentary about flat-sharing vampires (with a bit of a werewolf here and there).

I saw Spongebob II a week ago. It was hilarious.

My recommendation: the Kingsmen. Looking for a self-aware bond film that isn't afraid to be very, very silly? Go right ahead. Might not suit some people, but it's good for what it is.

If anybody's into werewolf films that are also allegories for growing up/sexually maturing, like 'The Company of Wolves' or 'Ginger Snaps', then they should see 'When Animals Dream'. Really neat, this one.
