Dance Flick

Nobody can do comedy like the Wayans brothers, and this movie is no exception. It’s a complete rip off of all those cheesy dance movies that we all love so much (come on, admit it). There’s the guy from the wrong side of the tracks, who falls in love with the rich girl, and all that they have in common is their love for dance… And then, of course, there’s the dance-off climax where everyone pulls out their best moves and the good guys win. Yeah, you know how the story goes. But thanks to the Wayans bros, you’ll be in stitches watching their unique take on this stereotyped movie. It’s a must see! Dance Flick is currently showing at cinemas.

Final Destination 4

You may be asking yourself how you can make four movies with exactly the same premise: that death will hunt you down if you interfere with fate. Well, thing is, it doesn’t matter that you know exactly how the story will end. What matters is that it still manages to give you a couple of those jump-in-your-chair and scream-out-loud moments. As with most movies that have more than one sequel, it falls into the B-grade bin, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t cool for a good scare – especially if you’re looking for an excuse to grab your date’s hand. Just be careful you don’t spill the popcorn! Final Destination 4 is currently showing at cinemas.

Gamer

Imagine playing a game that gives you total control of another human being. And imagine those being 'played' are actually real-life prisoners who are offered the chance of a life outside bars if they can survive 30 rounds of the game. Yup, this movie takes fantasy gaming to the max. It’s a chance for gamers to act out their most savage and violent fantasies using other people, and the chances of survival are next to none. But one prisoner has lasted 27 rounds, and it looks like he might just make it out. That is if his blood-thirsty player lets him… Gamer is a hectic ride through some pretty violent gaming situations, but it’s bound to blow your socks off. Opens on 23 October.
