  • Bowfinger (1999)
    Comedy about a desperate B-movie producer.
  • The Dark Crystal (1982)
    Review preview for The Dark Crystal

    Some of the best puppetry you'll see anywhere.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    Two gelfling head to restore a shard to the dark crystal and order to their world.
  • Death At A Funeral (2007)
    Review preview for Death At A Funeral

    For farce to work well, the plotting needs to be watertight, whereas here the sheer excess of characters fails entirely to cover up this film's flimsy underpinnings.

    Anton Bitel · 2 out of 5
    Funeral farce.
  • Little Shop Of Horrors (1986)
    Review preview for Little Shop Of Horrors

    Shot in vivid colour and interspersed with some terrific songs, this is a formulaic story but a hell of a ride.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    A shy young man finds his life transformed when he discovers an unusual plant - but at what cost?
  • The Score (2001)
    Review preview for The Score

    The film seems to be building to a confrontation between the actors but instead you get the credits. And given the fine cast, this lack of a Third Act is a major mistake.

    Symon Parsons · 2.5 out of 5
    A master criminal plans one last heist.
  • The Stepford Wives (2004)
    Review preview for The Stepford Wives

    Featuring an up to scratch all-star cast, it is Close who really shines, with a cracking quirky little performance, again demonstrating her range.

    David Stanners · 3.5 out of 5
    Sci-fi/comedy thriller where a seemingly perfect American suburb, with unfeasibly obedient women, raises suspicious eyebrows amongst the latest newcomers.
