A semi-watchable Brit-com with some lame jokes and a squandered cast.
Drama
The Mother
'The Mother' is a nicely shot drama with a strong central performance, but despite its attempts to shock with some frank sexual scenes, there is something a little banal about the whole exercise. Why go to the cinema to see something that feels so much like a telemovie?
City of God
Gripping and authentic true story of life amongst Rios forgotten poor, where violence is a way of life even amongst children. Not to be missed.
All the Real Girls
All the lyrical awkwardness of first love in a small town, unfortunately accompanied by all the meandering ponderousness of a country river.
Manhunter
This one is every bit as good as its later remake, some say better. The film stands up well on its own and will also appeal to those who like Hannibals later reincarnation.
The Hannibal Lecter Trilogy
This is an outstanding collection of three films featuring the iconic Dr Lecter. One of the best DVD buys on the market.
