Sitting down to watch good ol' Starship Troopers right now.

Man, I love Starship Troopers, I might give that a whirl myself.

And guess whose VUE is not screening it in order to keep 50 shades of domestic abuse on multiple screens.

Watched a right pile of tosh called Girl House. Slasher. Imo Girl Band are scarier

WOLFCOP. This should have been great with it's mix of guns, werewolves, biker gangs, Satanists and sex but sadly I found myself clock watching during the first half and slightly embarrassed for all involved in the second half. Still, starting the transformation scene from the penis was a stroke of genius no matter what I thought of the rest of the film.

Felt exactly the same way about it. Even though I don't like broad comedy-horror, I tried to give it some leeway, but in the end just couldn't make it work for me.

The Guest (2014)

Excellent genre bending thriller about a discharged soldier who visits the family of a dead comrade.

The Guest is one of those films where every other scene you feel like you've seen it before somewhere else. It was as if the best bits had been pilfered from high school movies, 80's action hero films, plus the obvious take on Kazan's The Visitors.

Probably the most surprising thing was the way it all worked out despite the nagging feelings of deja-vu. Film after film seemed to segue into one another and it all worked brilliantly to create a tense, funny, exciting and thoroughly entertaining thrill ride. Full of likable characters and boasting a great 80's synth soundtrack too. Mercifully without a single beat from Tangerine Dream.

Highly recommended.
