Raising Helen

Her character might be able to raise a gaggle of squealing kiddies but, if she wants to raise her profile back to where it once was, Kate Hudson will have to find better work than this.

The Last Samurai

The greatest epic of the year so far. Who cares if it’s only January?

Star Wars

The galaxy’s favourite fairytale, on DVD at last – it’s a must-have for anyone’s collection.

A Cinderella Story

Just another fairy-tale, only without any magic.

New York Minute

A ‘New York Minute’ supposedly means a very short period of time, but don’t let the title fool you – this skull-crushingly bad film is at least 90 minutes too long.

Battle of Britain

Sit back, think of Britain, and try to ignore the fact that it’s not half as good as it should be.

The Village

It’s not Shyamalan’s best piece of work, and it’s not as good as it could have been – but it’s still one of the must-sees of the year.

The Singing Detective

A brave attempt at bringing a landmark TV series to the big screen – but it doesn’t work.

‘Girl From Rio’

Its heart is in the right place – it’s just the rest of it that badly needs working on.

Pearl Harbor

It’s big, it’s loud, and it’s a bit of an all-American mess – but it’s not quite as bad as you might expect.
