Ginger Snaps: Unleashed

It’s sis’s turn to transform into a complete dog in this superior sequel to one of the top underground horror stories of the last few years.

EuroTrip

This fun teen jaunt might not be worth a trip across the continent and back – but it is worth a trip to your local DVD store.

Stage Beauty

This passable costume drama is mainly mouth and – quite literally – no trousers.

Foolproof

Proof, at last, that rummaging around the straight-to-video section of your local movie rental store can actually pay off – ‘Foolproof’ really is a film worth seeing.

Shadows of the Dead

One of the worst horror movies around – without a shadow of a doubt.

Million Dollar Baby

Possibly the most accomplished film of Clint Eastwood’s career. Clyde who?

Mulan

Talking dragon or not, the sparkle’s missing from this middle-ranking Disney effort.

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion

This fun, screwball period comedy is about as good a starting point as budding Woody Allen fans could hope to come across.

The Merchant of Venice

Big, brash, bold, and not very good, Michael Radford’s bitten off more than he can chew with this Shakespeare-for-the-masses flop.

The Pink Panther

The original, but certainly not the best, of the Inspector Clouseau capers.
