"'Usual Suspects' writer Christopher McQuarrie comes into his own, delivering this pulsating modern western without morals! A neglected classic of which Peckinpah would be proud!"
"Second feature from the underrated Roger Avary - a visually stunning & viciously dead-pan take on the college elite adapted from Bret Easton Ellis' cult novel! THE anti-John Hughes film!"
"Shane Black - the man behind the 'Lethal Weapon' series - puts a new spin on the buddy movie with this delightfully cynical slice of LA noir that unfortunately sank without trace at the box-office!"
"Big screen transformation of Frank Miller's gritty & stylistic pulp fiction, flawlessly executed page for page by the prolific Robert Rodriguez! Roll on Part 2!"
"Larry Clark continues his fascination with teenage rebellion, painting a grim picture of the desolate environment where real-life events conspire to murder! Harrowingly brilliant!"
"Nostalgic account of the rise & fall of Factory records as the charismatic Tony Wilson (RIP) would have you believe! The quality of bands featured puts to-day's poor indie scene in perspective!"
"Intelligent high school noir which pays tribute to the seminal whodunnits of the 40's yet creates a menacing & faceless dialect that stands alone! Demands repeat viewings!"
"An excellent discussion piece, Richard Kelly's 80's-set drama is littered with unusual time-travel theoreys & disturbing images centred around the end of the world! Can't wait for 'Southland Tales'!"
"QT & RR's superb double-feature, shamefully hacked in two by Miramax! An authentic, sleaze-filled homage to the exploitation genre complete with poor sound quality, missing reels & mock trailers!"
"A nihilistic glimpse of cold-blooded Hollywood where an agent with the world at his feet has it cruelly snatched away & develops a self-destructive nature involving sex & drugs! Heartbreaking!"
"Joe Carnahan's gritty tale of corruption in below-zero Detroit whose dark palette & camerawork recalls 70's cop thriller 'The French Connection' - its director William Friedkin being a fan!"
"Complete re-interpretation of the British gangster film thanks to taut direction from Jon Glazer & Ben Kingsley's astonishingly hideous Don Logan! The best of its kind since 'The Long Good Friday'!"
"This is a glorious 'f**k you' to all light-hearted festive comedies reeking of money-grabbing has-beens & political correctness courtesy of Terry Zwigoff & the Coen Brothers!"
"Gripping two-parter about the underground battle between dark & light supernatural forces in cosmopolitan Moscow! Captivating sci-fi/horror where subtitles are literally integrated into the picture!"
"Originally intended as a tv series & more recently a prequel of sorts to 'Inland Empire', David Lynch's voyeuristic love story concerns identity, envy & much confusion in cut-throat movieland!"
"Outstanding Philip K Dick adaptation, less sci-fi, more a narcotic damnation of the government's 'Big Brother is Watching' stance with touches of stoner humour & eye-catching rotoscope animation!"
"Violent reconstruction of 1981's notorious Laurel Canyon murders & the sordid back-story involving drugs, money, theft & burnt-out porn star John Holmes, expertly portrayed by Val Kilmer!"
"A sincere protagonist, interweaving storylines that demand your undivided attention & some shockingly brutal action combine for the most accomplished set of spy films on the market!"
"Extremely hard-going at times, this powerful coming-of-age drama tackles the difficult subject of sexual abuse! Harold Budd & Robin Guthrie's beautiful score only adds to the unrest!"
"Short, sharp & shocking best describes Mary Harron's film version of Ellis' yuppie satire! The attention to 80's detail is spot-on & Christian Bale pulls off the Partick Bateman character with ease!"
