13 Going On 30

August 9, 2004 – 12:00 am

Likeable but uninspiring, it’ll be most memorable for exposing Jennifer Garner’s potential as a rom-com lead – so expect to be sick of the sight of her within five years!

‘Bad Guy’ is one thing – but what the title doesn’t warn you is that it’s also ‘Bad Film’.

Blind Flight

July 30, 2004 – 12:00 am

Definitely more enjoyable than spending two years chained to a radiator.

You’d never think impending nuclear disaster could be so much fun!
