Fairly typical lightweight Eddie Murphy fare that fails to capture the sparkle of his early work. Funny in parts, and with occasionally good action, the film makes for a reasonably entertaining diversion.
Queen's Messenger
Low budget actioner with little to recommend it. Fans of Gary Daniels will enjoy seeing him fight, of course.
Trainspotting
Gritty and raw but appealing and even entertaining examination of wasted lives and drug addiction. Not to be missed.
Bhaji on the Beach
Enjoyable entry into the strong ranks of British-made Asian comedy dramas that will entertain far beyond the Asian community.
Nell
This touching and charming drama is largely a vehicle for Jodie Foster, who doesn't disappoint.
Sweet Home Alabama
Pleasant romantic comedy that is well executed but provides little that is unexpected.
