1 District 9: SF dir. Neill Blomkamp starring: Jason Cope, Kenneth Nkosi, Sharlto Copley, Mandla Gaduka, Devlin Brown, William Allen Young, David James, Vanessa Haywood Verdict: While I enjoyed this at the cinema not sure I would watch it again. However watch it again over the weekend and it does stand up to a second viewing. Definitely worth a look if you haven’t seen it.

Wrong Turn 3:H dir. Tamer Hassan, Tom Frederic, Gil Kolirin, Borislav Illiev, Janet Montgomery, Tom McKay Verdict: First two films weren't great but okay. This one doesn't even reach that mark.
