Five Dotpoints or Less - Just for Laughs

Zombieland (2009)


7.7/10 on IMDb
89% on Rotten Tomatoes

Chloe's thoughts: Signed, sealed and recommended by Chloe
Watch it if you: Want to laugh; Like zombie movies; Like any of the actors in this

  • This was a really enjoyable zombie movie for me
  • It's quite funny, and I especially loved how they integrated in all the main character's "zombie survival rules" so that they would pop up every now and then
  • Every character was cast perfectly
  • And it has a great cameo!


    Fargo (1996)


    8.2/10 on IMDb
    94% on Rotten Tomatoes

    Chloe's thoughts: It's alright
    Watch it if you: Want to watch an interesting and dark comical take on the normal mystery thriller genre

  • This film was really hyped up for me and, while I thought it was good, I guess I don't really understand why it was amazing
  • The main actress was great and hilarious; I loved her Minnesota accent (Oh Yah? Yaaah!)
  • The film is very funny with a quirky sense of humour by the Coen brothers; it is black comedy done really well, and I guess that is why everyone loves it
  • Time for the TV show now!


    Kick-Ass (2001)


    7.7/10 on IMDb
    76% on Rotten Tomatoes

    Chloe's thoughts: It's alright
    Watch it if you: Like satirical superhero movies; Want a film you can chuckle at to just pass the time; Aren't looking for anything serious or clever

  • Definitely interseting, and a pretty fun movie, but not anything amazing
  • Quite unique in its premise, which makes it interesting
  • Chloe Grace Moretz looks so young in this! She was the best part of the movie though
  • And surprisingly even Nicholas Cage was good in this


    Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)


    7.9/10 on IMDb
    81% on Rotten Tomatoes

    Chloe's thoughts: Signed, sealed and recommended by Chloe
    Watch it if you: Want a fun and unique comedy; Don't mind watching a film that's a bit old

  • Watched this when staying at home sick and it was a decent watch; it did aggravate my headache a bit but I think any movie would have done that; it was mainly some weird loud music at certain points
  • The main actor is really cute in this (and so is the chick)
  • Pretty funny/quirky way of directing, but the movie overall was quite fun to watch
  • Some great comedy, as well as fourth-wall-breaking that inspired Deadpool quite a lot


    The Cabin in the Woods (2012)


    7.0/10 on IMDb
    92% on Rotten Tomatoes

    Chloe's thoughts: Signed, sealed and recommended by Chloe
    Watch it if you: Like picking apart horror films; Want a satirical take on the stereotypical horror tropes

  • Didn't know what I was getting in to, as I usually don't like horror films, but this was a great and unique take on the typical horror movie
  • It starts a bit cheesy but then you realise how satirical it is as it pokes a lot of fun at all the stereotypes used in horror films
  • Really clever and self-aware film
  • The ending was really cool
