World War Z
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU MISSED BRAD PITT’S DIRECTORIAL DEBUT IN CINEMAS? Let’s hope you manage to find a spare two hours to fit this in before you next bump into either him, Angelina and/or any of the kids (which considering the amount of them there is will only be a matter of time). World War Z is big LOUD and, while not the life-changing zombie production that something like The Walking Dead is, is a perfectly adequate way to spend a hungover Sunday.

Meet The Mormons
I mean, this film is certainly not good. In fact it was pretty much slated across the board. But the fact that it was paid for by the Mormon Church and is about the Mormon Church means it's a must-watch for anyone fascinated by the fastest growing religion in the world. Following the lives of six 'ordinary' (hmm) Mormons, it takes you from the US to Nepal to Costa Rica in an attempt to introduce others to what being a Mormon around the world really means.
