Average Rating:	Drive Me Crazy [2000] starring: Melissa Joan Hart, Adrian Grenier, Stephen Collins, Susan May Pratt, Mark Webber directed by: John Schultz June 25, 2001		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £9.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.31
Drive Me Crazy is a warm-hearted and thoroughly enjoyable piece of fluff in the grand old John Hughes tradition of The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink. It upholds many of the conventions of it's predecessors, playing off the jocks against the nerds and painting all the pretty, popular girls in middle American high schools as scheming, conniving, social climbers. As is invariably the case with teen flicks, prom night rears its ugly head. Obviously it would be downright rude not to hint at who's going to be paired off with who, even if Drive Me Crazy does do its hinting with a sledgehammer. But then again, the fun is all in the journey, not the final destination. The main characters are likeable and there are enough witty exchanges to make ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	People I Know [2004] starring: Al Pacino, Kim Basinger, Ryan O'Neal, TÃ©a Leoni, Richard Schiff directed by: Daniel Algrant May 31, 2004		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.78 You Save: £11.21 (70%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.49
Pacino is of course brilliant, portraying a fraying publicist trying to make some meaning in his life. Tea Leoni, Kim Basinger, Ryan O'Neal and Richard Schiff are among the strong supporting cast. Our protagonist is sent by one of his dwindling star clients to 'clean up' his mess by getting the star's latest girl on a plane. Beaten down by work, age and drugs, Eli instead finds himself in possession of incriminating material and tangled up in city politics; but all he wants to do is make his benefit event a success and then retreat to a peaceful retirement with his sister-in-law's friendship. For all his media savvy, he's caught in the grip of forces he can barely perceive, much less escape: his self-knowledge comes too late. Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Who Dares Wins [1982] starring: Lewis Collins; Judy Davis; Richard Widmark; Edward Woodward; Robert Webber; Tony Doyle; John Duttine; Kenneth Griffith; Rosalind Lloyd; Ingrid Pitt; Norman Rodway; Maurice RoÃ«ves; Bob Sherman; Albert Fortell; Mark Ryan directed by: Ian Sharp January 06, 2003		Used Price: Â£7.00
This is actually a pretty bad film. The ideology is not as perverse as in those films Collins made later. However, my main misgivings about the film are that it is implausible and quite frankly boring for a long time. The whole concept of an ex-SAS man joining terrorists for no particular reason isn't very convincing and you can't help wondering why a group of highly organized terrorists (who later become pretty clueless) fall for it. The film starts with a pretty powerful scene but then meanders for quite a long time building up towards the great finale. Overall, I think Who dares wins could have been an interesting 45 minutes episode of The Professionals but the story doesn't carry a feature film. Although reasonably successful at the time this film ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Snow Day - Dvd [2000] starring: Chevy Chase, Schuyler Fisk, Chris Elliott, Mark Webber, Jean Smart directed by: Chris Koch November 05, 2001		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.18 You Save: £8.81 (68%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.44
A charming family comedy centreing on a long-awaited snow day and the determination of the local children to prevent the snowploughman from ploughing the streets and making the kids go back to school the following day. I should mention the focal points in the film which appear to be the romantic goals of the fifteen year old Hal for the most popular girl in the school and the feelings that his best (female) friend has for him. Added to which, the youngsters in the neighbourhood try to single-handedly ensure that they get a second snow day, with surprising methods used. For me however, the magic of the film centres on the lead mum (Jean Smart) and her reconciliation to the fact that she just cannot go to work and must therefore spend ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Jesus' Son [2000] starring: Billy Crudup, Robert Michael Kelly, Torben Brooks, Dierdre Lewis, Jimmy Moffit directed by: Alison Maclean March 25, 2002		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £7.02 (54%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.93
I found this film incredibly emotional. There is no denying it has its tragic moments but they are all interspersed with a strange joy rarely found in today's cinema. Some scenes had me choking with laughter including Jack Black's, surely career topping, performance. That in some way is its beauty, Billy Crudup and Samantha Morton are excellent but almost seem to just be foundations for the rest of the cast. For instance I've always enjoyed Denis Leary but his short role as 'Wayne' came as more as a surprise than Jack Black, never before have I seen Leary cast so well. There possibly isn't any point in mentioning Dennis Hopper, who is often almost flawless in any film, I can't help it though and his performance in this rivals those in 'Rumblefish' and 'True Romance.' ...

Average Rating:	The Hottest State [2006] starring: Michelle Williams, Laura Linney, Ethan Hawke, Lynn Cohen, Mark Webber directed by: Ethan Hawke January 28, 2008		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £10.02 (63%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
I predict this gem of a film will become a big indie hit here in the uk. Directed and adapted by Ethan Hawke (from his novel of the same title) it is a touching and humourous take on first love and tells the story of an actor and singer in their early twenties, still hopefull about their future careers and coming to terms with baggage from their childhood and teen years. The acting is excellent - Hawke plays the male lead's father, and the scenes in a chilly winter in NYC contrasts beautifully with a trip the young lovers take to Mexico, with Texas, 'The Hottest State' hovering between the two as a haunting lynchpin. I read the book after seeing the film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and although the story and some of the dialogue remains, I'd rate the film ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Boiler Room [2000] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Nia Long, Nicky Katt, Scott Caan directed by: Ben Younger July 11, 2000		Used Price: Â£2.61
I'd heard a fair bit about this film since it came out quite a few years ago, and finally I got my hands on a copy of it and this didn't disappoint. With great performances from Giovanni Ribisi, Ben Affleck and Vin Diesel, a great story, a really good old school hip hop soundtrack and very well filmed this has to be seen as a modern classic. Based around the illegal stockbroking business this film plays out like a gangster movie without actually being a gangster movie. By this I mean it is similar in the way it is about organised crime and we follow the rise of the central character(Ribisi) from a nobody who makes a bit of cash setting up illegal poker games to becoming the pinnacle of the illegal stockbroking business. Though having resemblences with gangster movies it leaves out the unnecessary shootings ... Read More: >>More Details
