1.Dennis [1993] starring: Walter Matthau, Mason Gamble, Joan Plowright, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson directed by: Nick Castle August 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.32
After my young son watched this film twice in one day I decided to watch with him, at the third showing!. `Dennis` is so typical of all children at that age, and I could see what my son found so amusing as he would tend to do the same things given half the chance. Having a bad guy also helped to keep the story going. For us adults though, Walter Matthau proves to be a real comic genius. Think of `Home Alone` but without Macaulay Culkin, thank goodness!.

2.Arlington Road [1999] starring: Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, Hope Davis, Robert Gossett directed by: Mark Pellington October 01, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.17
3 Stars for this movie. I purchased this a long time ago, watched it once and shoved it to the back of the cabinet, where it lurked unwatched. Recently, I had another look, and I must admit, given all things happening in reality, it gave a new perspective on the film. Tim Robbins is 'good' in the movie, but I must say Jeff Bridges' performance (Either intentional or as directed) has a slightly ludicrous and annoying angle to it - trying too hard to engage the viewer in 'tension' and Bridges' character's perceived mania at what he believes is happening. It just looks a little wrong. I understand the thought behind it, but it actually doesn't convey to me what I assume it is supposed to. Without going on for too long, I would recommend ...

4.Gattaca [1998] starring: Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Gore Vidal, Xander Berkeley, Jayne Brook directed by: Andrew Niccol
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.71
To understand Gattaca, it helps to know a little history. About a century ago, progressives took up what the New York Times in 1912 called the "wonderful new science" of eugenics. Because of improvements in medicine and public health, eugenists said, the "unfit" were having more children than the "fit." Their solution included both positive eugenics--encouraging the "fit" to have more children, and negative eugenics--preventing the "unfit" from having children. Forced sterilization laws in some 37 states were their greatest achievement, with California being the most zealous in applying its law. But legislation in more conservative states, particularly in the South, was blocked by claims that forced sterilization was unconstitutional. ... Read More:
