SUPERNOVA
Watchable. The first half drags, only stunning images of lochs, moors and the Highlands in all sorts of lighting kept me watching. Mid-way through you realize a protagonist plans a suicide and the reasoning behind the decision validates the movie more than the initial complaints about the satnav or other silly disputes. From the moment the couple reach the house, you start getting occasional amusing bits, e.g. a hilarious scene where a guy falls from his bed.
THE WAR WITH GRANDPA
Recommended. A grandpa taking over the boy's room turns the family's life topsy-turvy. "Home Alone" meets "National Lampoon's" in this hilarious - look at the mum's run-ins with the police, for one - family comedy. While Polish cinemas will show the movie only in Polish dubbing, the translation is top-notch, with lots of puns, and for foreigners - a lot of the film is self-explanatory. Fine performances in all roles whether big or small, adult or minor ensure continuous entertainment. Extra materials from the set and deleted scenes can be seen in the mid-credit.
