Factory Records, the Hacienda club, Tony Wilson, Happy Mondays, etc, etc. '24 Hour Party People' is an affectionate and humorous trip through Manchester's monster music scene in the 80s and 90s. The soundtrack as you'd expect is blinding and Steve Coogan's portrayal of Wilson is spooky. A film that stands on it's own as an excellent near tragi-comedy, but within its historical context... it's bloody mad!

A wonderfully adapted film based round the exploits of Cicero, aka Elyesa Bazna, the Albanian born valet (Mason at his best) of the British ambassador to Turkey, who sold secrets to the Germans during 1944. The valet's gentlemanly pretensions are put to the test in this tale of espionage and romantic intrigue. Ace.

'9' is a toy living in a desolate post-apocalyptic future who allies with some ragtag straw dolls in order to defeat The Beast, a giant stalking mechanical cat. The scenery is bleak, the tone sombre, the digitalization impressive, but the characters are adult-allergic in this ambitious and original neo-Manga. find out more...

A stunning directoral debut from Robert De Niro. The tale of a boy who grows up in the Bronx, it manages to convey the harsh and brutal realities of New York's toughest neighbourhood, whilst also being a moving account of love, life, coming of age and divided loyalties. Definitely one to watch.

Set during the 1930's on the Amalfi coast, a chosen summer haunt for the rich and the beautiful, rarely is the air not thick with gossip, but on this occasion Robert Windemere and his beautiful young wife are the focus of discussion. Rumour has it Robert provides an allowance Mrs Erlynne, a woman with a reputation to be well avoided, while his wife is not as dismissive of other men's attentions as it is felt she ought. Adapted from Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's fan, A Good Woman is a lushly vi find out more...

Madonna doesn't try to steal the show and consequently this turns out to be an excellent film. In 1943, with the males away fighting, The All American Girls' Professional Baseball League was formed to keep the National Baseball League running. Hanks is the real star as the cynical manager/coach who learns to love his team. A comic and touching story highlighting many of the contradictions that working women face. High slush factor. find out more...

The film opens with shots of a prosperous town and its stately avenues of rich mens' houses, all placidly awaiting the start of the country club season, as the venomously honeyed voice of an unseen female narrator begins spinning a web of speculation and suspicion round three married women, shortly to be completed by their receipt of a poisonous letter indicating that the narrator has run away with one of their husbands. With the three wives trapped for the day supervising a children's picnic find out more...

The drama unfolds with the relationship between the two, and the pursuing Eastwood. Great performances, particularly the boy (T J Lowther) and excellently directed. find out more...
