  • Les Apprentis (1995)
    Review preview for Les Apprentis

    If you like your films to have emotional depth and well-constructed characters then this is quite possibly for you.

    Black comedy about two hapless pals and their misadventures.
  • The Ringer (2005)
    Review preview for The Ringer

    The Ringer isn't amazing, but it does turn out to be a cut above the average poke in the eye.

    Nice guy pretends to be mentally handicapped so he can win Special Olympics.
  • The One That Got Away (1957)
    Review preview for The One That Got Away

    The good news is that The One That Got Away isn't a war film and its focus is much more upon humanity and breaking down the barriers of nationality.

    The true story of a German PoW's escape.
  • Corridors Of Blood (1958)
    A good doctor in Victorian London tries to help the poor but falls foul of evil men and drugs.
  • Vital (2004)
    Review preview for Vital

    Tsukamoto's ability to shoot completely insignificant objects and from them create moods and tensions is startling.

    A medical student reconstructs his identity after surviving a car crash.
  • About Last Night (1986)
    Review preview for About Last Night

    Pointless American drivel.

    Trash Fletcher · 1.5 out of 5
    Friendships and relationships and Eighties pop music, with Demi, James and Rob.
  • The Good Shepherd (2004)
    Hip priest turns detective.
  • Panic (2000)
    Review preview for Panic

    Watching Panic is like tracing your finger around the blueprint of a roller coaster ride, instead of actually riding it.

    Trash Fletcher · 2.5 out of 5
    A hitman with a mid-life crisis meets a girl more messed up than him.
  • The Sting (1973)
    Review preview for The Sting

    The characters are outrageous and entertaining.

    Paul Newman and Robert Redford are itinerant con men during The Depression.
  • Mean Creek (2004)
    Review preview for Mean Creek

    Mean Creek offers very little in the way of character study.

    Trash Fletcher · 2 out of 5
    Teenagers plot revenge on a school bully.
  • George A Romero's Land Of The Dead (2005)
    Review preview for George A Romero's Land Of The Dead

    The special effects are undoubtedly the best of the Deads. Unfortunately, there's a heap of unnecessary, unconvincing CGI.

    The creator of the zombie genre returns with an allegory of Bush's abuses in Iraq.
