Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Nov 10, 2006Snakes Amok

Barnyard (2006)
Nov 10, 2006Animation/Talking Animals
An incredibly silly animated film set around the antics of talking barnyard animals. Directed by comedy writer Steve Oedekerk, this is almost entirely centred around gags involving animals doing parodies of human things
Get Smart (2008)

Nov 9, 2015Zombie Comedy
There is something appealing to the film's premise – of boyscouts with their knowhow and do-gooder mentality being the best equipped to survive the zombie apocalypse.But this a film not nearly as clever as it thinks it is being
Krampus (2015)
Dec 12, 2015Christmas Horror Film
Drawing on the Teutonic traditions of the anti-Santa, this gleefully wades into anti-Christmas spirit. Although never as much as it promises to be, it does astonish at a major studio releasing such a dark film right on Christmas season
