  • Chris' Film Club: Black Sheep
    This week on the Film Club Chris looks at 'Schlocky Films'. Fun but trashy! Up first is 'Black Sheep', the 2006 New Zealand horror-comedy. A sheep farm crossed with a secret genetic laboratory succeeds in an experiment to turn sheep from docile herbivores to wild carnivores, whose bite can turn people into weird human-sheep hybrids. Fun, gory and with great effects from the Weta Workshop.

  • Chris' Film Club: Raw
    Finishing up a week of 'Damn Good Films', Sam (our resident Science Consultant) has to jump in to save Chris, who thought it was smart to recommend a Film he hasn't even seen! Fortunately, Sam has plenty to say about French Horror/Drama 'Raw'. When a lifelong vegetarian arrives at a Veterinary school to continue her education, she forces herself to eat meat as part of a hazing initiation to fit in. She soon experiences dramatic consequences to this, learning a lot about her true self.

    Chris continues to bombard us with a variety of good film recommendations this week, with today's choice being Italian drama/comedy 'We Have a Pope' from 2011. This film looks at the death of a previous Pope, and the struggles of a Cardinal who has been elected to replace him, against his will. With only a psychoanalyst to prepare him for his new position, how will the new Pope handle things?

  • Chris' Film Club: John Wick: Chapter 2
    Chris races through a week of 'Damn Good Films' with his next choice of blood pumping action-thriller 'John Wick: Chapter 2'. Keanu Reeves' retired super-assassin 'John Wick' plans to resume a quiet civilian life after the events of the first film, but Italian gangster Santino D'Antonio shows up on his doorstep with a gold marker, compelling him to repay past favors. Ordered by Winston, kingpin of secret assassin society The Continental, to respect the organization's ancient code, Wick reluctantly accepts the assignment to travel to Rome to take out D'Antonio's sister, the ruthless capo atop the Italian Camorra crime syndicate. Ruby Rose, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo and Lawrence Fishburne are just some of the stars appearing alongside Reeves.

  • Chris' Film Club: I am Not Your Negro
    Chris brings us back from the depths of the 'film dump' this week, instead choosing a selection of 'Just Damn Good Films' to look at over the next few days. To begin, this week we look at 'I am Not Your Negro'. In 1979, American Novelist James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his project, "Remember This House." The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of this manuscript. Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished.
