Based on Jules Verne's fantasy adventure we follow Professor Lindenbrook and his motley posse into the bowls of the earth where they discover a land that time forgot (or something very similar). Very bad baddies, huge ravenous lizards, and giant mushrooms are just a taster of the goodies on offer. There's also a bit of effective sexual symbolism, in typical Hollywood style, which greatly enhances the syrupy romantic subplot. Excellent and with the added bonus of the late, great James Mason. find out more...

The four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, are once again pulled back into the land of Narnia, where a thousand years have passed since their last adventure. The creatures of Narnia are under threat from an evil king who plans to destroy them while also keeping the rightful heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, from bringing harmony back to the magical world.

A monster budget retelling of H G Wells' tale of merciless all powerful aliens. This being Spielberg the family touch has been shoe horned in and we witness the rise of the death ray tripods from the view point of a less than ideal father, who rekindles his paternal instincts in the face of almost certain annihilation. The special effects are exemplary, the little acting required, faultless, but there's the crunch, Spielberg has turned Wells' subversive little piece into a family drama with some find out more...
