A nice-looking film that may not be to everyones taste, but a must-see for Besson fans.

Star Wars Episode II – Attack Of The Clones
For my money the poorest of the “Star Wars” flicks so far. Having said that, its definitely worth seeing, even if only for Yodas end-of-film Hong Kong Phooey impression.
Solaris
A complete waste of space. Literally. See it at your peril. If you absolutely must see George Clooneys permanently clenched behind, then this is the movie for you.
S Club: Seeing Double
A confusing and complicated children's tale.
Road to Perdition
Excellent performances, wonderful cinematography, observant direction, its 'pseudo-film noir feel, and a great soundtrack combine to make this one of the best films of recent years. This is a gangster film that can make you cry, but dont bother watching if youre just looking for a traditional gangster shoot-em-up because youll be disappointed this story of relationships runs much deeper than that.
Joy Ride
Good. Roadkill maintains suspense nicely throughout, but I cant help but wonder how Rusty Nail keeps on tracking those boys down. A herculean effort on his part.
