One of the many benefits of a staycation (aside from my local Costa, local gym, my cockatiel, being able to cook and eat food I like, sleep when I like, and no bloody jetlag) is the fact I can watch films. So, four films I've enjoyed over the last couple of weeks...

12. High Rise (dir. Ben Wheatley, 2016)If you haven't read JG Ballard's dystopian

I was interested in watching High Rise but I'm thinking it might be waaaaaay too intelligent for me. 😳

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

You really underestimate your own intelligence. I may be intelligent, but I'm also a social retard who cannot connect with other people at all easily. You are clever, look at how you analyse how you think.

High Rise isn't that intelligent - its a little obsessed with its own cleverness - but the idea of a tower block turning on itself is pretty timely. Plus Hiddleston gets his kit off. There's an incentive!
