Severance. A bunch of sales reps from an international arms firm go on a "team building" weekend in Eastern Europe, only to find themselves trapped in the middle of nowhere and stalked by a group of crazed, bloodthirsty Serbian ex-soldiers armed to the teeth with the very weapons their company helped to bring into the region. Danny Dyer, Laura Harris and the great Tim McInnerny star in this cracking 2006 British comedy-horror that is hugely funny, scary, gory and just enormously entertaining from start to finish. Something of a classic and one of the best and most undeservedly overlooked flicks of the 00s.

Avengers: Age of Ultron. Meh.

Stephen King's A Good Marriage. Joan Allen and Anthony LaPaglia are a happy middle aged couple with a perfect marriage that is the envy of all the friends... until one day Allen stumbles across evidence that her perfect husband might also be a serial killer. Reasonable if unremarkable time-waster.

Short film, "Lettre d'un Père à sa Fille".

Pauline Acquart.

Man on the Moon. One of Jim Carrey's best performances and films, as he plays real-life comic and all-round eccentric Andy Kaufman in this hugely entertaining - and frequently uproariously funny - biopic. Something of a favourite.

Saw Splash last night, another old fave I haven't seen in about 20 years (looks beautiful on Blu-ray too). Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy and the great John Candy star in this classic 80s romantic comedy fantasy about a young man who falls for a mysterious young woman who turns out to be a mermaid. Very funny and genuinely magical, a real 80s classic.

Saw The Man Who Haunted Himself for the first time last night. Roger Moore is a strait-laced businessman who suffers a near-fatal accident, only to return home to find strange thing happening - strangers approaching him claiming to know him (even intimately) and friends and acquaintances claiming to have seen him in places he's never been. Is he going round the bend? Or does he really have a doppelganger who seems intent on taking over his life? Uncle Rog gives an intense performance in this creepy 1970 thriller that I really enjoyed (absolutely beautiful picture quality for a 45 year old movie too!). I was also deeply amused to find, three years before he became James Bond, Roger talking about industrial espionage and noting "It's not all James Bond and Her Majesty's Secret Service, you know." Oh, the irony!

That just has to be the "Bex" factor, doesn't it?

[Santi]

Jack Reacher. Tom Cruise is an ex-army investigator turned "ghost" who comes back onto the radar to investigate a mass murder by a sniper, and becomes convinced the man arrested is nothing but a patsy. Passable thriller with Cruise in good form but nothing particularly sparkling.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Never seen it before, but had gotten curious seen as it was Sean Connery's last film before he retired. Having seen it, I can understand why he quit! To be fair, it starts off intriguingly enough with a fun premise, nice atmosphere and Connery on his usual great form (I do miss him), but it goes rapidly downhill after 30-40 minutes or so and in the last hour practically even he struggles to make an impact under a deluge of endless eye-glazing overblown CGI-laden "modern" Hollywood blockbuster crap. Connery deserved a better last film than this mess.
