1.Out Of Time [2003] starring: Denzel Washington, Sanaa Lathan, Eva Mendes, Dean Cain, John Billingsley directed by: Carl Franklin May 10, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £15.01 (75%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.49
A simple thriller in which a woman is used as a piece of bait to get some drug money from a gullible cop who believes he is in love with her. The final twist is not what we could have hoped, but it sure is convincing about the dumbness of cops or even men when they get infatuated with love. But the interest of the film is essentially in the hectic chase-escape of one cop after-from another cop who happens to be his-her wife-husband. One thing is sure: as soon as a woman appears within his eye-range he loses all rational common sense and starts seeing butterflies landing on his nose. But it is funny and entertaining. Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University Paris Dauphine, University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne & University Versailles ... Read More:

its true this movie isn't for the average guy wanting to cozy on the couch on a saturday night-its more of an experimentation. Still much better than tom cruise blasting through the bleedin air! its a big mesh of idiosyncrasy and fantasy all in the disguise of a typical hollywood film! it doesnt quite work as well for me as David gordon greens fantastic all the real girls but There are moments in this film -if you're willing to invest in it- that will stay with you all your life. yep and jamie bells fantastic...again!

3.Undertow [2005] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Jamie Bell, Josh Lucas, Dermot Mulroney, Devon Alan, Kristen Stewart directed by: David Gordon Green April 26, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.49
Undertow is an exceedingly odd movie, yet it is its very oddness that makes it compelling. If nothing else, it makes the film memorable - and I don't think it would have been otherwise. I don't know where this is supposed to be set in the South, but it looks like the film had someone in charge of nothing else but finding the most depressing locations of squalor out there. Poverty apparently causes brain damage, judging by this film, because there is not one truly sane person to be found in the cast of characters. At its heart, I suppose Undertow is basically a human story, but it comes down to a tale of two pairs of brothers. Chris (Jamie Bell) and the younger Tim (Devon Alan) live with their pa John Munn (Dermot Mulroney) out in the middle of nowhere, ... Read More:

5.The Jackal [1998] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Steve Bassett, John Cunningham, Richard Gere, Tess Harper, Serge Houde directed by: Michael Caton-Jones April 28, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.25
One of the films of the mid-1990s when America had gotten out of its anti-Russian paranoia after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Russians and the Americans are working together against international terror-mongers. A real cocktail. The Russian mafia, slightly Georgian and Caucasian in those days (for the Americans, see Red Heat), the Basque separatist gone underground, the IRA getting little by little out of the closet and back on the political turf, and then the free-lance American adventurers who are doing it for the pleasure of killing in the most visible and gross way possible. But we have to note there is a traitor in the team and the traitor is a Russian of course. The Russians have never been totally redeemed. And now the Georgian mafia has gone back ... Read More:

6.Domestic Disturbance [2001] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Steve Buscemi, Terry Loughlin, Teri Polo, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, John Travolta directed by: Harold Becker April 16, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.00
A simple film, a thriller indeed. It works because the simple violence and menace is wrapped up in a complex and yet simple story about a divorced mother, the custody of a child, the remarrying of the mother and the brilliant newcomer who was accepted at once without any inquiry about who he was in this small community. The conflict between the father and the stepfather with the son in between seems natural and it even makes the police be sloppy about what it is supposed to do. There is of course no real suspense since we know who the criminal is and what the end is going to be. The punch line is directed at the police. The chief of police of this small community is just sorry though he voluntarily neglected simple facts and evidence. Amazing how in our modern societies ... Read More:

October sky would probably be a film that I would never have watched hadit not been for a 5.30am wake up call by my 18 month old son. On gettingup, I switched on to Sky Movies to watch anything that was on. Settlingdown on the settee, rocking my son to sleep, I proceeded to watch thisfilm. Based upon an inspirational and true story of a boy whose dreams andaspirations for rocket science break him free from the mould of Coalwood'straditional "when you leave school you can work down the mine", the filmfollows the trials of teenage life for Homer Hickham and his group ofdedicated and loyal friends. The film avoids the trademark American movie industry flaw of overdoingthe sentiment, but the soundtrack, memoir based stroyline and the sheerinspiration of believing in your dreams, is a powerful ...
