The Circus

Charles Chaplin's The Circus (US, 1928) - 1929AA, 1981TEL, 2005SEA, 2006PALM, EGM, TAS - RATING: - Charlie Chaplin once again dons the tattered threads of his iconic alter ego in this underrated effort. Desperate to elude the police who have mistaken him for a notorious pickpocket, the bumbling vagabond joins the ranks of a traveling circus. While posing as a big top performer, the Tramp falls head over heels for an equestrienne (Merna Kennedy) who just so happens to be the daughter of the circus's no-nonsense ringmaster (Al Ernest Garcia).

The Cleaner

Adrian Saba's The Cleaner (Peru, 2012) - 2012SANSnd, 2013PALM, 2013SANF, 2013SEA - RATING: - In the midst of a mysterious and deadly epidemic in Lima, Perù, a depressed and isolated man cleans up after the dying. When he takes in a frightened young boy who has lost his mother, he’s quietly transformed by the experience of caring for another human being

This Is The End

Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen's This Is The End (US, 2013) - RATING: 3 - Fleshing out their unreleased 2007 short film Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse, multi-hyphenate Seth Rogen and co-producer Jay Baruchel delve into end times with the winning, unabashedly vulgar This Is the End, in which a bunch of comedic Hollywood actors, playing themselves, cope with panic and paranoia while Armageddon unfolds outside around them.

Cockneys Vs Zombies

Matthias Hoene's Cockneys vs Zombies (UK, 2012) - 2013SEA - RATING: 2 - When East London is overrun with zombies, a pair of bank robber brothers hole up in their father’s retirement community in this riotous splatter comedy. Like any high-concept movie of this variety – from Strippers vs Werewolves to Cowboys & Aliens – the title tends to give away pretty much the entire movie, but at least Cockneys vs Zombies is blessed with enough self-aware humour and some smart cameo performances to set it apart from the usual pack of low-budget British horror fare.

Tracked

Hideo Gosha's Tracked (Japan, 1985) - 1986JAA - RATING: 3 - When a fugitive begins a romance with the woman hiding him from the law, it becomes uncertain whether he will ever escape the shadow of his heinous crimes--or the detectives hot on his trail.
