1.Ace Ventura - Pet Detective [1994] starring: Jim Carrey, Courteney Cox, Sean Young, Tone Loc, Dan Marino
directed by: Tom Shadyac
November 11, 1996
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Ace Ventura - Pet Detective [1994]
Where do I begin? Ace is just so hilarious, every second that he appears on the screen should have you laughing out loud. The storyline is full of brilliant twists, the jokes are stupid enough to be satisfying to nearly anyone with a decent sense of humour, and Jim Carrey provides his usual mad antics and stupidity that really make this film such a great laugh.

2.The Adventures Of Pinocchio [1996] starring: Martin Landau, Genevieve Bujold, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Rob Schneider, Udo Kier

VHS : The Adventures Of Pinocchio [1996]
Although mainly seen as a puppet in animatronic form, former Home Improvement star Jonathan Taylor Thomas delivers a stunning performance as the marionette who dreamed of being real. Jonathan's performance is far from being wooden.

What makes this film even more enjoyable is the attention to detail - even the puppet looks like Jonathan.

Whether you're eight or eighty, you'll love this live action interpretation of the classic story.

VHS : Prince Valiant
At its heart, this film is a perfect Sunday afternoon family movie, although there are one or two very brief scenes where adult themes encroach (one contains slight nudity).
On the whole the acting is good, and while the special effects are seriously lacking (due to the budget), they don't detract from the movie - they perhaps give it a bit of charm.
I was at first unsure about the use of animated cut scenes to progress the story, but once I get used to them I felt they actually added to the story and gave it a story-book feel (which is a good thing in my opinion).
Overall this film is feel good entertainment which doesn't take itself seriously.

4.Breaking The Waves [1996] starring: Emily Watson, Stellan Skarsgård, Katrin Cartlidge, Jean-Marc Barr, Adrian Rawlins

VHS : Breaking The Waves [1996]
I'm not a fan of "artsy" type films and this is usually the kind that falls into the category of them.

Bess, a naive virginal highly religious woman marries an Oil Rig worker called Jan and begins a journey of sexual discovery and realisation. When he goes away to work back on the rig, she falls into a deep depression and holds conversations with God begging for his return.

Her prayers are answered but not in the way she'd wished - Jan returns home having been in a tragic accident and is paralysed for what the Doctors advise her could be life.

Jan tries to be selfless and tells her to go out with other men, to have erotic encounters, but to come back and tell him about them as it is the only real pleasure he has ... Read More:

5.Shadow Of The Vampire [2001] starring: John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier, Cary Elwes, Catherine McCormack

VHS : Shadow Of The Vampire [2001]
I really enjoyed the main premise for this film about F.W. Murnau's filming of his 1922 classic 'Nosferatu'. What would happen if the director cast a real vampire in the role of Nosferatu? This is exactly what happens in this engaging and sometimes funny film about the filming in Transylvania.

Willem Dafoe, almost unrecognizable under all the make-up, is wonderful as Max Schreck who turns out to be a real vampire who joins the cast of amateur actors as they film 'Nosferatu'. Soon, as some of the cast accuse Mr Schreck of taking his part too seriously, some blood is spilled as he starts chomping through the cast and crew alike. When they get through to the final scene when the character of Nosferatu is killed from the sunlight flooding into ... Read More:

VHS : Johnny Mnemonic [1996]
A fascinating film that brings together several genres and also several influences. First the technical level of virtual reality and computerized graphics. Interesting though not exceptionally original (see for one example The Lawnmower Man). Second the Japanese, Chinese, Honk Kong, Kung Fu type of action. There it is in a way renewed because it is grafted onto, into or under another type of post-apocalyptic vision that is typically American: underground resistance (with one of the archetypes being the Terminator trilogy, or The Running Man) or people who refuse the modern slavery imposed by the corporate trust that governs and controls the world, through dependence on data-processing machines that create a nervous disorder that is both incurable and catching. ...

VHS : Fiona Richmond - Expose [1975]
While 'Expose' is usually sold and advertised as a Fiona Richmond film, it is actually Linda Hayden who is the real star of this dark and disturbing mystery.
Unavailable for many years,as it was caught up in the list of titles classified as 'Video Nasties' and banned from sale,it is actually a tale of mystery and revenge.
However like 'Straw Dogs' a controversial rape scene led to the film being unavailable.
Novelist Udo Kier hires a new secretary played by seventies horror star Linda Hayden, unaware that she has an agenda of her own. She knows his dark secret and is determind to get revenge.
In what is little more than a cameo Richmond is Kier's unsuspecting girlfriend who gets lured into a lesbion encounter by the conniving Miss Hayden.

VHS : Barb Wire [1996]
"Don't Call Me Babe!" What? Where? Who did? Indeed I'm sure many would be surprised why the plastic-fantastic bimbo would be branded anything other than ridiculous following her then-current status in the tabloids, but scriptwriter's Chuck Pfarrer & Ilene Chaiken thought differently obviously and decided to make that line the tagline... fools.

As the film opens out to the impending year of 2017, we look on to the leather-clad Barb Wire (ex-'Baywatch' beauty Pamela Anderson Lee) performing an enticing yet extremely sleazy striptease with all flesh breaking loose in her own bar & grille, the Hammerhead in Steel Harbour. Self-trained as an Assassin, biker Barb Wire makes an attractive salary collecting rewards from would-be murderers needy of delinquents and ... Read More:
