Hart's WarHart's War (2001)
3 stars (Good Enough) An intriguing premise in a film that slips more towards to fictional end of the scale, but remains engaging and fairly authentic.
ZodiacZodiac (2007)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) A seat–grippingly intense affair from Fincher, this has the same gritty feel as "seven", and a very realistic and detailed take on the murder mystery of the Zodiac killer. Highly recommended.
Hustle and FlowHustle and Flow (2005)
3 stars (Good Enough) One of the better rap–related films in the past few years, this tells the story of a young wanna–be rapper who turns his house into a studio and tries to get his demo out there. Lacklustre ending, but intriguing ride.
Get Rich or Die Tryin'Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)
3 stars (Good Enough) A lit itttle too Hollywood for its own good, and ultimately self–serving for tough–guy 50 Cent, this remains a better film than it has any right to be. Sheridan directs; 50 supplies the music and melodramatic take on his rise to fame.
8 Mile8 Mile (Eight Mile) (2002)
3 stars (Good Enough) Eminem is great as Rabbit, a white rapper in detroit struggling to make a name for himself in the rap game. Supported by a good cast, this is more than simply self–serving for Eminem, and well worth seeing.
Whale RiderWhale Rider (2003)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) The sweet tale of Pai, in her struggle to make a place for herself in her family and society. A wonderful insight to a deep culture, and a moving tale.
DVD $24.95 $18.70
Karate Kid, TheKarate Kid, The (1984)
4 stars (Very Good) An 80s classic, with Ralph Macchio in his definitive role. A classic underdog tale with heartfelt moments.
A.I. Artificial IntelligenceA.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) A very strange tale, with elements from so many genres that it's really hard to anticipate what kinds of audiences will love or hate it. But an incredible sci–fi world is portrayed, and the fairytale story is both engaging and moving.
DVD $24.95 $18.70
2001: A Space Odyssey2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) A marvelous film, with incredible visuals and sci–fi elements decades ahead of their time, 2001 is still an absolute pleasure to watch and enjoy.
Sniper, TheSniper, The (Sun cheung sau) (2009)
3 stars (Good Enough) A typical example of style over substance, The Sniper sort–of wants to be Infernal Affairs, but mostly it just wants to blow giant holes in stuff. Featuring some great and ridiculous gunplay, in particular the unique shooting style.
