Leon The Professional, The (Professional, The) (1994)
Expanding on the Nikita formula, Luc Besson successfully crosses the border to American film–making, keeping his film fresh and free from cliché.- Blu-Ray $49.95
Green Zone (2010)
A good actioner, if somewhat more shallow than it would have you believe. Yes, there is talk of political agendas and government coverups, but at the end of the day this is another film with too–much handheld camerawork and other standard action elements.
Hurt Locker, The (2008)
'The Hurt Locker' brings something new to the Iraq war formula with Bigelow's take on a soldier’s adrenaline addiction. A teeth–grittingly tense portrayal of life in a bomb–disposal unit.
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)- Eastwood's Japanese take on WWII is a far superior outing to 'Flags of our Fathers', portrayed less as a political drama than a human drama about the futility of war.
Flags of our Fathers (2006)
A disappointing overly long and political American war feature, shown up in every aspect by its companion piece 'Letters From Iwo Jima'.
Band of Brothers (TV Series) (2001)- One of the most brilliant mini–series and WWII dramas ever created, this has all the feel of 'Saving Private Ryan' but with more detailed character development and storyline.
Pacific, The (TV Series) (2010)
While commendable that Hanks and Spielberg have finally brought WWII to the Pacific, the series falls down in almost every aspect when compared to the older and more superior Band of Brothers.
Zidane - A 21st Century Portrait (2006)- As close to the inside of a football player's head as you can be taken (and in particular, one of the century's greatest players). This is beautiful and focussed, but only avid soccer fans should apply.
Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982)
- An incredible experience that defies all description. Simultaneously an extended music video and political message; you have to enter this world to truly know what you're in for.
Woodstock (1970)- Another cult and musical classic which deserves to be seen – at least in part – by the entire world. Peace and love and rock and roll.
