Subway

A nice-looking film that may not be to everyone’s taste, but a must-see for Besson fans.

The Banger Sisters

Pleasant 'Friday-night-in-with-the-girls’ movie, but lacking in depth

The New Guy

It’s far from being great cinema, but as entertainment it does raise some laughs and succeeds well enough to be worth watching.

Escape from LA

A fun action movie, but not a patch on the original.

The Powerpuff Girls Movie

A rewarding diversion for children and families.

Waterworld

An entertaining action adventure with plenty of thrills and some appealing characters, well worth taking the time to see.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

A tale of a childhood friendship which is stronger than most. Told with good humour and a deep understanding of the motivations of the characters.

Dragonfly

A slow film in which the main character's spiritual journey rarely seems to make much progress. A must for Costner fans, of course, but unlikely to make much impact on anyone else.

High Crimes

This is a decent thriller with convincing performances. You don’t necessarily believe the story, but the film is engrossing enough to be worth suspending your disbelief for a couple of hours and taking it at face value.

Italian for Beginners

A charming and gentle romantic comedy that deserves much wider recognition.
