Having cut his teeth on action movies, he returns to the Samurai mission genre with gusto and the climax is an irresistable blend of exquisite choreography and bloodlust. The plot takes a backseat, but the interesting guy driving, Action-San, is who you want to watch anyway. find out more...

William Thatcher is a poor peasant squire, but he finds he has an aptitude for the world of jousting and having successfully passed himself off as a knight he sets about taking the world of the medieval privileged by storm. A Knight's Tale is a completely irreverent take on the swashbuckler movies of old and history in general, but it's a highly entertaining adventure comedy, with a good heart and an endearingly executed lack of originality, while a down on his luck Chaucer is constantly in dang find out more...

A wonderful tale revolving round the atheistic female mathematician, philosopher and all-round genius Hypatia, the lover she spurned and the slave who adored her; Roman authority is collapsing, the end is nigh and the Talibanesque Christians are preparing to both sack and burn the great library at Alexandria, destroying the collective scientific work of centuries, setting back science and maths a millennium, and massacre thousands (including, of course, the Jews).
