Borat - Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of K...
Borat
Hysterically funny - and the majority of the Americans that "Borat" dupes actually come over well, as friendly and tolerant of foreigners. Some people won't get the joke; we did. The DVD is handy... read full review

DVD: Stalingrad Joseph Vilsmaier, 2001
DVD: Stalingrad (Joseph Vilsmaier, 2001)
Grim .... but truthful
Gritty, brutal, realistic presentation of life for the ordinary Feldgrau in the battle of Stalingrad, with its grim and inescapable outcome for Paulus's doomed Sixth Army. Don't expect a happy ending.... read full review

DVD: The Bridge At Remagen John Guillermin, 2003
DVD: The Bridge At Remagen (John Guillermin, 2003)
Gungo-ho, but acceptable
Somewhat flowery and over dramatised, but staying acceptably close to the truth of the American capture of the Ludendorf bridge at Remagen at the close of WW2. A film of its era; at least it doesn't portra... read full review

The Fog
DVD: The Fog (John Carpenter)
A classic
The special effects are clunky by modern standards, and the plot a little laboured in places, but still one of Carpenter's best, and some wonderful costal landscapes. It still stands up very well, as much ... read full review

DVD: The Road To Wellville Alan Parker, 2004
DVD: The Road To Wellville (Alan Parker, 2004)
Yoghurt
A hilariously funny - the more so, because based on fact - condemnation of helth fads, both historical and modern. Hopkins is superb as Dr Kellogg, and a fine supporting cast. The sexy bits manage to be erotic... read full review

DVD: Tora! Tora! Tora! Kinji Fukasaki, 2001
DVD: Tora! Tora! Tora! (Kinji Fukasaki, 2001)
Well crafted
A serious and well-crafted attempt to prortray the events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941. From the same stable as Midway and A Bridge Too Far. A must for military history enthusiasts as well ... read full review

DVD: Sleepy Hollow Tim Burton, 2000
DVD: Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton, 2000)
Silly but enjoyable
Depp is suprisingly convincing, with a fine supporting cast, and an exceptional female juvenile lead. Both amusing and scary by turns, just tongue in cheek enough to stop it becoming ponderous and self-obsessed... read full review

DVD: Dante's Peak Roger Donaldson, 2003
DVD: Dante's Peak (Roger Donaldson, 2003)
Good entertainment, doubtful science.
An action film, pretty much written as a vehicle for the dashing Pierce Brosnan. A bit lightweight here and there, good special effects but a few liberties taken with the real science of volcanoes. Having said ... read full review

DVD: Supervolcano Tony Mitchell, 2005
DVD: Supervolcano (Tony Mitchell, 2005)
A well written and convincing Doomsday scenario
Quite fast paced, well written, the science behind the story is first class. Good effects, convincing plotline and dialogue. Well worth watching. read full review

DVD: Hot Fuzz Edgar Wright
DVD: Hot Fuzz (Edgar Wright)
Hysterically funny
Another outing for the team from Shaun of the Dead. Full of shameless references to other movies - mostly the American "Odd couple" cop buddy movies - which just make it funnier. Highly reccommneded f... read full review
