Ex-machina has been getting really good reviews - i'm keen to check it out.

I caught Chappie a little while back, and actually thought it was good fun. It was a pretty schlocky and predictable storyline - but fun none-the-less.
 
Not sure if this one has been mentioned.. From late last year..

What We Do in the Shadows

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3416742/

It's a comedy movie out of New Zealand. If you liked the TV series 'Flight of the Conchords', the humour is very much along the same lines. Enjoyed it.

Just watched a doco called 'the staircase'. Pretty lengthy (10x 45min episodes) but they're all on YouTube and overall I thought it was a really good watch for those of you who like their courtroom dramas. Would have liked if the doco was a little more neutral in its approach (ie show both sides of the case) however I still really enjoyed it.
Rating: 8/10

This is currently airing on Foxtel on the CI channel... The final part air's tonight.. I've cheated and read Wikipedia to see what happens.. Agree, would have been good to get a little more insight to the prosecutions side of things.. Still I was shocked at the verdict.. Reminded me very much of another crime show I watch on CI, Criminal Justice, where it hinges on circumstantial evidence...

As a result of the Staircase, I've gone and downloaded some Crime documentary's (below).. If they are any good, I'll shout out..

There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane..

Interested about the West of Memphis one.

Have you seen any of the other West Memphis 3 doco's? If so, does it bring much new stuff to the story? Particularly interested in this one, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
 
You can't have this list without Dear Zachary included..

Watched the Cobain doco last night also.
A bit hit and miss but the hits were pretty good 6/10

After multiple attempts, I still can't successfully download Dear Zachary (only mkv files available?), which is a annoying as it's rated very highly.. I'll keep trying..

I didn't know they existed until you just drew my attention to them!?! Thanks for the heads up.
I'll download all 3 parts of Paradise Lost tonight and give them a watch.. Disturbing case on so many fronts.

Paradise Lost are fantastic. Be prepared for a marathon as each part is over 2 hours from memory, but it's one of the most fascinating doco's i've seen.

Will definitely check out the imposter and let you know what I think! Cheers!
 
I'm just not sure whether it's a good thing or not though.

Don't mind my heavy-metal, surreal horrors but this one may just go too hard :)
It does what it does very well. The use of the no sound is among the best i've seen. The imagery is confronting, yet well thought out. That said, it just doesn't seem to click, and goes for at least twice as long as it needed to. I'm glad i've seen it, but it's pretty bleak and not one i'll be rushing to see again. That said also, i still rate it fairly highly.

It's just odd.
