• 
  Aeon Flux (2005)

  Futuristic sci-fi post-animated superagent is acrobatic in her desire to save paradise from reactionary forces.
• 
  Alias: Season 4 (2004)

  The continuing story of the beautiful spy and her lovable, detestable, sexy and deceitful friends.
• 
  Angel: Vampire Anthology DVD Collection (2005)

  Four discs, each featuring one of the four main co stars in four episodes of the vamp drama.
• 
  Just Friends (2005)

  Review preview for Just Friends

  Just Friends is less crude than many films of its kind and even made me laugh.

  High school fatty becomes slim womanising record exec in role reversal comedy, with hot girls vs hometown sweetheart.
• 
  Memoirs Of A Geisha (2005)

  Review preview for Memoirs Of A Geisha

  This a memorable film, luxurious and intense.

  The grooming of the most famous geisha in Japan.
• 
  The Perfect Man (2005)

  Review preview for The Perfect Man

  Despite the frequently foolish script and stereotypical characters (please note the appalling gay stereotype waiter), this is as pleasing a confection.

  Pretty In Pink meets everything else.
• Seven Swords (2005)

  Review preview for Seven Swords

  The pacing is flabby, with a whole middle section so dull I found myself fighting to stay awake.

  A 17th century band of swordsmen defend villagers from murderous gang
• 
  Superhero Movie (2008)

  Review preview for Superhero Movie

  Really straight to DVD material.

  A parody of the superhero genre.
• 
  Tales From Earthsea (2006)

  Review preview for Tales From Earthsea

  The audience is left with a dense, underwritten train wreck that neither Ghibli fans nor Earthsea fans can recognise or entirely admire.

  A young prince is caught up in a titanic struggle of sorcerers.
• 
  Ultraviolet (2006)

  Review preview for Ultraviolet

  The whole film looks rushed, the intention being to get the audience through the rollercoaster fast enough so they do not notice the peeling paint and loose wires of this particular ride.

  Adrift in a Technicolor future, a dying vampire struggles to protect a human child
• 
  Yes Man (2008)

  Review preview for Yes Man

  More restrained than he has been in other films, Carrey convinces and entertains in equal measure.

  Jim Carrey agrees to say 'Yes' to everything for 12 months.
