A Clockwork Orange

One of Kubrick’s greatest masterpieces and a definitive film of its age. Has as much impact as a baseball bat to the head, but is much more enjoyable.

Late Night Shopping

Super British romantic comedy with appealingly dysfunctional characters and plenty of charm.

Blade

Slightly superficial but enjoyable effects feature with plenty of action and slaughter.

Frailty

This is a competent thriller which manages to convey horror without a great deal of gore, and to explore its characters to a greater extent than is usual in the genre.

Free Enterprise

This is a surprisingly amusing movie, quirky and full of absurdities. Ordinary audiences will find it funny – sci-fi fans will find it utterly hilarious. A romantic comedy for geeks.

Signs

An odd movie, never quite one thing or another. However, it is gripping and so is well worth taking the time to watch for the thrills.

Sweet Sixteen

An outstanding, touching, gritty and emotional film full of harsh reality that truly deserves the accolades it has received. Well worth making the time to see.

The Guru

An entertaining film full of gags that will cheerfully while away a couple of hours without requiring much thought or concentration.

Field of Dreams

An outstanding and moving film that will appeal to both men and women – one doesn’t need to know or care anything about baseball to be inspired by it. Not to be missed.

The Sum of all Fears

This is a decent action film that provides good solid entertainment plus a great big bomb explosion, but it doesn’t have the depth of either its predecessors or the Clancy novels.
