This no-brainer from Hollywood delivers just the right amount of genuine shocks, suspense and unpredictability to make it into guilty pleasure territory.
Thriller
The Fourth Kind
Ignore the claims that parts of this are real and go in expecting a disturbing work of fiction that uses a clever technique to tell its story and you wont be disappointed.
The Box
Definitely not for everyone, and not up to the greatness of Donnie Darko, this latest effort from writer/director Richard Kelly is still interesting, thought-provoking, and not like anything else out there at the moment.
V for Vendetta
Just because you can see its message from a mile away, don’t think this is some simple revenge/anti-government movie; a fully realized, thought-provoking viewing experience.
Harry Brown
What could have been a good social commentary about what’s wrong with ‘Broken Britain’, Harry Brown comes across as too shallow and Right Wing for most modern tastes. Michael Caine is the film’s saviour with a stand out performance.
The Lives of Others
The Lives of Others takes a serious look at the suspicion and claustrophobia of the old East Germany with admirable authenticity and humanity.
