Monkey Man
Dev Patel's Directorial Debut sees him attempting revenge on the people who took the land he was living on Murdered his Mother. This was a decent attempt but it's too long with the action sequences having issues with it being too fast that you couldn't see it properly. However it does focuses on the issues going on in India. There was a John Wick joke but this reminded me more of Ong Bak. Sharloto Copley steals the show as a Fight Promoter.
Next Goal Wins
True Story based on America Samoa, the then world's worst International Football Team and their new Coach's mission to at least get them to score a goal. Michael Fassbender is the Coach and he is rather good in this heartwarming tale in which you want them to succeed.
Vampire Killer Barbys
Jess Franco effort so you know what to expect in this tale of a Rock Band who ended up stranded and take refuge at a Castle where the Countess wants their blood for regaining her youth. Right then, the dubbing is atrocious, some decent gore but one song is repetitive. One of his better efforts though.
