KENNY (2006)

Certification15 Our Rating

Few of us are devoted to our work but imagine that sort of diligence, devotion and honesty when your job is a portaloo plumber. Meet Kenny, a simple man who gives his all to his work with a passion unbridled; knowledgeable, thoughtful, decent, funny and imbued with a life affirming pathos that borders on Zen, an inspirational character in a world of sh*t. Filmed in a pseudo documentary form ‘Kenny' is reminiscent of the iconic ‘The Castle' in its warm hearted, quirky celebration of working class find out more...

The Hoover family are your typical suburban American demographic; dad's a failed inspirational speaker, grandpa's a coke snorting lay-about, the teenage son has embraced Nietzsche and abstains from the spoken word, the brother-in-law has just missed out on a successful suicide and the mum….well bless her, she really does try. The young daughter, however, is an upbeat bundle of positive energy and when the chance comes to enter the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant the whole family embark on a find out more...

The sequel to Jean De Florette (which should be seen first). Jean's daughter remains in the hills to herd goats and to finally serve the tight-lipped villagers with their just desserts. This part is less tragic but even more heartwrenching than the first, and the two must be seen! find out more...

Ignacio is a humble Mexican monk, but he has dreams and they ain't so humble. As night falls Ignacio, along with his sidekick Esqueleto, transforms into the mighty wrestler Nacho Libre, unfortunately both men spend their evenings being ritually humiliated and beaten black and blue… but Nacho is not a man to let such disappointments so easily distract him from his ‘gift'. A frankly surreal Jack Black vehicle, ‘Nacho Libre' is nonetheless a ridiculously enjoyable farce. find out more...

Undoubtedly one of Hitch's best. An innocent businessman is mistaken for a spy by enemy agents and learns the true meaning of persecution, while a deceptively beautiful blonde in the pay of his tormentors steals his heart. A tense and compulsively gripping nice-guy's nightmare. Obligatory viewing. find out more...

Ulysses, Delmar and Pete have just escaped a chain gang and are high tailing it across the country to recover a fortune in hidden treasure. There is only one flaw in this otherwise faultless plan......they're clueless. 'O Brother Where Art Thou' is loosely based on Homer's Odyssey (when I say loose I mean like the jumper that you don't know whether to wear, or peg out as a tent) and is a rip-roaring comedy adventure, with all the quirky charm that you expect from the Coen brothers. The sound tra find out more...

Leone's superb all-encompassing epic portraying the death of the mythical 'Wild West'. A superb cast, the collaborations of Bertolucci and Argento, and Morricone's brilliantly atmospheric score all add to the incredible style and weight of Leone's creation. A true cinematic masterpiece! A candidate for greatest movie ever made, if you haven't... then you must. find out more...
RUSHMORE (1999)

Certification15 Our Rating

A quirky, clever and charming movie from rookie director Anderson, who flies in the face of convention by making the hero of this high school-based comedy a slightly geeky academic who's anything but the all-American kid. Max Fischer is a brilliant but mixed-up scholarship kid at the Rushmore Academy, with a frenzied timetable and an uncanny knack of baffling both students and teachers alike. He attracts the attention of Blume (the superb Bill Murray), a rich, bored, middle-aged parent, apparen find out more...

A film by Tim Burton...that name alone should be incentive enough to watch this, but to all you doubters let me tell you a little story. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin. 'Once upon a time'......Based on the short classic by Washington Irving, set in 1799, the tale is of an axe-wielding headless horseman who careers through the sinister moonlit night gruesomely dispatching various members of the small community of Sleepy Hollow. A young, eccentric, policeman, Ichabod Crane (Depp) find out more...
