Cockneys vs Zombies
Director: Matthias Hoene
Starring: Michelle Ryan, Ashley Thomas, Harry Treadaway, Honor Blackman, Rasmus Hardiker
**
With a title that sums up its simplistic, slapstick premise, Matthias Hoene's effort pits a plague of the undead against a bunch of gun-toting grannies from London's East End but runs out of firepower long before the end.
When the zombie apocalypse strikes, two cocky lads (Harry Treadaway, Rasmus Hardiker) and their tough-as-nails cousin (Michelle Ryan) head to their grandfather's retirement home to help rescue the pensioners.
What follows is simply a barrage of carnage as the youngsters and the oldies grab any weapon that comes to hand to kill off the undead.
There's one mildly amusing scene in which an aged resident (played by the veteran actor Richard Briers), hobbling on his walking frame, tries to "outrun" the shuffling zombies. But watching the cast mutilate monsters swiftly becomes tiresome.

ETFs explained
Exhchange traded funds are bought and sold like shares, but operate as index-tracking funds, passively following their chosen indices, such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100 and the FTSE All World, plus a vast range of smaller exchanges and commodities, such as gold, silver, copper sugar, coffee and oil.
ETFs have zero upfront fees and annual charges as low as 0.07 per cent a year, which means you get to keep more of your returns, as actively managed funds can charge as much as 1.5 per cent a year.
There are thousands to choose from, with the five biggest providers BlackRock’s iShares range, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors SPDR ETFs, Deutsche Bank AWM X-trackers and Invesco PowerShares.
