Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!

A nicey-nicey rom-com with lots of shiny white teeth, but no bite.

Suzie Gold

Could just as easily have been titled ‘My Big Fat Disappointing Jewish Rom-Com’ – though it might not have looked quite as good on the poster.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Give this latest retelling of Stevenson’s classic a miss – there’ll no doubt be another one along in a year or so anyway.

Blazing Saddles

You’ll never be able to look a tin of beans in the eye again.

Windtalkers

World War II at its most boring.

Super Size Me

An entertaining, but essentially pointless, delve into the world of quick-grow flabby bits.

Beyond Borders

Walk straight past your local DVD store and give your money to Comic Relief instead – you’ll feel better about it, and they’ll give you a more entertaining night’s viewing for your trouble.

Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back

The most exciting, entertaining, challenging and altogether satisfying of all the ‘Star Wars’ movies, ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ is an example of big-budget cinema at its very best.

Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi

A wonderful ending to a wonderful trilogy.

Envy

Roll up for one of the biggest duds of the year. Messrs Stiller and Black should go into hiding after hearing this rank-awful comedy is finally getting a big screen release.
