Taxi

I’ll take the bus, thanks.

Metoroporisu

If the storyline was half as good as the animation, this would be one of the greatest films ever made.

The Forgotten

Two films in one – a mad rollercoaster thriller in the cinema, and a more subtle psychodrama in your head afterwards.

After the Sunset

What is it about spending time in the sunshine that just makes you want to yawn uncontrollably?

The Punisher

This reactionary revenger will bring real satisfaction to fans of Bush's foreign policy – but probably not to anybody else.

Il Cartaio

Argento, the once great king of giallo, goes down the drain – which is the only royal flush to be seen in this sub-par gambling thriller.

Twisted

‘Twisted’ is a fair enough description, but it could just as accurately have been titled ‘Poor’, ‘Predictable’ or ‘A Bit Crappy’.

Taking Lives

Think of it as a combination of ‘Se7en’ without the shocks and Angelina Jolie without her clothes.

The Grudge

Japanese director gives his own horror film a surprisingly intelligent Hollywood makeover – pointless self-replication perhaps, but that is the nature of curses.

Rear Window

Voyeurism at its most riveting (that’s right – it’s even more gripping than the live 24 hour coverage of ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!).
