A NEW POLICE STORY. Jackie Chan plays it almost straight for the most part in this film which mixes over the top action with the normal doses of over the top sentiment and slapstick often found in popular Chinese cinema. Fun.
HOUSE OF THE DEVIL. One of the few homages to the cinema of the past that feels genuine in approach and emotion. Ti West's work isn't for everyone but if you like a slow burn and a bugger all happening approach that means everything in the end give it a go. One of my favourite horror films of the past ten years. Recommended.
