BEYOND OUR KEN
7/10
A mostly enjoyable film about the relationship of a guy and a girl in Hong Kong and how it's affected when his ex-girlfriend appears. There seems to be a streak in HK films to make a great film and then in the last 15 minutes add so many twists and changes that it feels like they got a whole different team in to make a different film. Maybe this one isn't quite that bad, but this could have been a little better if they didn't try so hard to make the ending so full of extra stuff.

THE SWENKAS
6/10
Disappointing. I didn't really understand the point of the documentary really - I kind of expected more than what was on offer. These South Africans get together every weekend and try and compete against each other to see who has the flashiest outfit. They have some pretty snazzy get-ups without a doubt, but I'm unsure that this constitutes enough material for a full length feature. I snoozed through this - so, either I was disappointed because I missed the good bits, or it wasn't entertaining enough to keep me awake...

THE AX
7.5/10
Very enjoyable and funny French film about how a man attempts to resolve his unemployment situation after being made redundant and then unable to find work for two years. Quite dark humour given that his solution involves murdering those who he considers his competition in the industry. I'd recommed catching this if it's on again :)

ZOMBIE HONEYMOON
6/10
Low budget but good attempt at a new spin on a zombie flick. I'm not a zombie nut, but this was watchable, despite pretty poor acting, dialogue, etc. Had a few laughs and some well executed gross-out moments, but overall, isn't a must see unless this kind of flick is really down your line.
