Shoot 'em Up (2007)
A ridiculous and over the top comedy–actioner that has Owen spouting silly one–liners and killing by the hundreds. Cartoonish, outrageous, and at times a lot of fun – if you can handle the cheesiness. P.s. always eat your vegetables.
A-Team, The (2010)- When Hollywood runs out of ideas, prepare for rehashing of old ones. However, 2010's A–team is less a rehash than a 21st century revisioning, with extremely OTT action sequences that are cartoonishly entertaining if you turn your mind off.
Truman Show, The (1998)
Hollywood finally gets smart, with a comedy/drama that is both funny and insightful, touching on big philosophical and societal 'big brother' questions. Carrey is perfect as the confused Mr Truman.- DVD
$20$15, $19.95 
Being John Malkovich (1999)- Very strange film based on the idea of entering the body of the one and only John Malkovich (until a particularly memorable scene featuring hundreds), this is a an intriguing fantasy premise, if a little too bizarre at times to be fully realised on film.

Scanner Darkly, A (2006)
- One of my favourite Philip K. Dick stories, with sci–fi, drug addiction, conspiracy, big–brother and comedy elements, painstakingly hand–animated here for a unique and vibrant visual look. Add to that some great performances, this a must for sci–fi fans.
Renaissance (2006)- An intriguing and dark animated sci–fi world, Renaissance has some very good visuals and a dark theme, but ultimately lacks a punchy attitude that could have made it a must see.
Enter the Dragon (1973)
Possibly the greatest (and most famous) martial arts movie ever made, and a testament to the discipline and skill of real martial arts. Bruce Lee is superb, with some of his moves even proving too–fast to be captured on standard film.- DVD
$24.95$18.70 
Dead or Alive (Hanzaisha) (1999)- Miike is here, and boy will you know it! Only 2 minutes in, and your eyes and mind will be reeling from the wildly fast–paced music–video–like action. Seriously, you've seen nothing like this before.
Ichi the Killer (2001)- Controversially hyper–violent, sexualised, sadistic, and psychotic, Miike shows us why he is the Japanese king of cult. This is definitely not for everyone, and may have even the most hardened of viewers feeling squeamish.
Unleashed (Danny the Dog) (2005)- Frenetic cage–fighting action flick, Jet Li goes animal on his opposition, before being adopted by an unassuming Morgan Freeman, and taught to be human once more. An uncanny performance by Li, who plays both wildly aggressive and naively sensitive.
