What is even the point of going out when this lot is on?
Black Mirror Season 3
ARGH it's back! And more relevant than ever! Charlie Brooker's unbelievably excellent TV show that's already predicted the future more than once (hello pig-gate) returns for the first of two new seasons of six whole episodes. Which is great news. The series is set to star Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bryce Dallas Howard, Alice Eve, Michaela Coel and Kelly Macdonald. Other than that, WE DON'T KNOW MUCH. Until the 21st comes around, series one and two and the Christmas special are being added to Netflix from the 1st.
From 21st October
The 13th
Looks set to be a very important watch. Ava DuVernay, the award-winning director of Selma has turned her attentions to the American prison system and how the commodification of it has unfairly targeted black men and women. The 13th amendment to the constitution of the United States abolished slavery. But, Ava argues in her documentary, thanks to the prison system, it is still alive and sadly well in 2016.

Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging
Nostalgia tissues at the ready. Louise Rennison's 1999 book accompanied most of us on our journey through teenage-hood and the film caught those the book missed. Louise sadly passed away earlier this year but a hearty thanks to her for letting us know in her own way that actually, hey, everything was going to be OK.

Laggies / Say When
For some reason this film was called Laggies in the US and Say When in the UK. Who knows why. Anyways - if you're a millennial then say hello to Keira Knightley's character in this; a 20-something who doesn't want to grow up and wouldn't know how to if she tried. So she makes friends with a teenager and moves in with her. Perfectly normal thing to do. It's a lot of fun. Watch it and feel better about yourself.

The Sweetest Thing
Mainly remembered for the penis song ('too big to fit in here, too big to fit in here' - ah early noughties feminism, you were doing....er, something) this film stars Cameron Diaz at her PEAK, Selma Blair and Christina Applegate. Cameron Diaz totally can't commit to a man because she's given up on love for some reason. It's fun for a hangover.
