Like a self-induced version of ‘Stepford Wives' the series continues its increasingly surreal progress (I mean it's narrated by a dead woman for god's sake!), but the characters are so well drawn and the story lines so darkly witty that to watch it is to become addicted… regardless of your gender.

EMPIRE RECORDS (1995)
Certification12 Our Rating
A fast, sassy script with plenty of good one-liners ensures this indie vs corporate tale is better than your average teen movie. A franchise tries to take over the record shop where they hang out, so the staff rebel with a plan of their own. A cool comedy-drama, with a great cult soundtrack thrown in. Great !

FAR FROM HEAVEN (2002)
Certification12 Our Rating
A lovingly created homage to the melodramas of the 1950s sees Frank and Cathy Whitaker's picture perfect marriage masking a relationship based on lies. A blossoming friendship with the black gardener and a husband whose fallen in love with another man leave Cathy shunned by her friends and neighbours, her outwardly idylic world finally revealed for the sham that it is. Far from Heaven looks stunning, the recreation of the period nothing short of immaculate, but I have never been a fan of 1950s m

SPELLBOUND (2003)
CertificationU Our Rating
On one level it's terrifying, another tragic, but there's no denying it's utterly hypnotic. A hall seething with demonic young children obsessed with the national spelling Bee competition, a cruel concept made all the more vicious by parental participation. Spellbound is a dazzling documentary, sad, funny, and like any particularly fine true story....almost unbelievable.
