Bangkok Haunted

Three tales of tepid terror. About as scary as stroking a hamster, but much less exciting.

Secret Window

Far-fetched stuff, and you may well see the twist coming a mile off – but it’s a guilty pleasure.

Ringu 2

Creepy in places, dull in others, and not a patch on the original.

Van Helsing

This hundred-mile-an-hour goth-romp leaves you gasping for breath – but not for more.

Laws of Attraction

The Belgium of comedies – not so much dislikeable as just plain boring.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Wholly uninteresting fluff – Lohan should be aiming higher.

The Eye

I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with… DEAD PEOPLE!! Quick! Hide!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Sheer brilliance – with a hat on.

Troy

Visually stunning, but totally hollow in every other department.

Chik yeung tin sai

Part action, part drama, part shampoo ad – ‘So Close’ brings us the cuddliest, cutesiest, sweetest trained killers in all of Hong Kong. Awww, bless.
