Cold Pursuit (2019) isn't worth following
Hardly the frozen “Taken” we were promised by the marketing, this remake of the director’s own 2014 film "Kraftidioten" has moments of sublime black humour but is too disjointed, derivative and haphazard to do justice to its cast or premise...

Men in Black (1997)
Men in Black (1997)

Funny, Silly and Enjoyable
This is a laugh-out-loud film, with lots of slapstick, physical comedy, toilet humour and silly jokes.

There's nothing high-brow or thought-provoking about Men in Black, but the contrast of Will Smith's relaxed persona with Tommy Lee-Jones's straight-laced, deadpan character makes for a great partnership.

Men in Black doesn't try to be something it isn't; it's just a fun movie with some heartwarming moments and lots of laughs.

Richard Linklater is a favourite director of mine and he doesn't disappoint in this musical comedy.
It has so many great moments and acting is top notch with Jack Black a stand out, the talented children and the heartwarming story are the icing on the cake, very re-watchable.

A story of John Cusacs record store owning character's decent into madness as he tries to recall why his relationships are a failure.
Another fantastic comedy where it's difficult to find a weak point, all players are on form with stand out mention to Jack Black who munches through every scene he is in.
Championship records is not the place to buy music you love personally, unless you want a detailed reason why your musical taste sucks.

Oh dear
A very dry, dead pan black comedy indie film. I thought it was going to be a thriller. Despite the cast this falls very flat. It's very predictable and not funny. The dialogue came across as if everyone was pretending to be a robot for some reason? One to skip.

A decent little English comedy about an aging hitman who lives his life by strict rules and discipline. This all goes out the window when he can't kill his latest target a young con-artist and is aided by a young runaway in trying to protect her. It has quite a few funny moments and some very British humour in this black comedy. A great cast raise the standard and it has a certain charm about it.

A pretty decent black comedy/love story with a good amount of humour. Set in the swinging 60's in East London. The girls from the band All Saints star in this along side a good array of English acting talent. The girls look to rob places up town to get a better way of life for their family but get mixed up in all sorts of trouble way above their heads. An enjoyable film catch it if it's on.

The black humour
A fun horror rather than a gory horror
I really enjoy horrors, thrillers and dramas set predominantly in mansions, stately homes castles, chateaux etc so it gets off to a good start. The setting has a feel of a cross between Clue and the original Sleuth... Both of which are among my favourite films...

Marrying into a family who made their money through games all new family members have to play a random game, most harmless but draw one card and you are in for a bumpy ride, and might not see the night through...

An oddball bunch of family members make this a fun horror movie rather than a gory or suspenseful one, even though there is a lot of blood and gore it doesn't feel like it, it's certainly not like watching the Saw franchise, the black humour works brilliantly alongside the serious moments and you can really get behind Samara Weavings character, trying to remain alive in a cat and mouse chase around the Mansion with her portrayal of newlywed Grace who instead of spending her wedding night with her husband ends up playing a scary and dangerous game of hide and seek with her new family...

A well made film that delights with its humour, made stronger by the cast and not a stereotypical usage of the usual, lone girl (potential) victim/survivor seen in other horror films.
