Les Franken defines ‘non-descript', everything about him is without note, but when he takes part in a clinical trial for a new drug called ‘Special' Les starts to notice super human gifts developing and as an avid reader of comic books decides to re-model himself as a fearless indestructible defender of justice. At times bleakly witty 'Special' is at heart a tale driven by delusion, the emotional collapse of a man who like many of us wishes to be something more than he is. A flawed tale that los

SPUN (2002)
Certification18 Our Rating
Ross has wheels and hence is running errands for crystal meth dealer 'The Cook' to earn his hits. A thoroughly debauched 3 days of no sleep and much hilarity chronicling the adventures of some low-life speed freaks. Only recommended to those with a tolerant, if not downright enthusiastic, attitude towards class A drugs. Bizarre and brilliant.

STUCK (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
A very dark tale in Hitchcockian style about a hit and run drink driver who returns home with a mangled homeless man stuck in her windscreen, and, after parking inside the garage, realises that she's better off with the man dead.

TRAINSPOTTING (1996)
Certification18 Our Rating
The Shallow Grave team have surpassed themselves with this in-your-face look at the seedier side of life, through the eyes of smack-head Mark and his motley assortment of mates. Shocking, stylish, sometimes surreal yet utterly believable and very, very funny. See it!

TROPIC THUNDER (2008)
Certification15 Our Rating
A wildly diverse mixture of deluded stars are joined together for the ultimate (read horribly over budget) Vietnam war movie ever. From Kirk Lazarus, an obsessive five time Oscar winner who gets himself surgically darkened to play the African American character to Tugg Speedman, a wilting action superstar tormented by his lack of ability, all are ill-equipped to deal with the everyday world, let alone the drug lord infested jungle the director unwittingly drops them in when he decides on some ba

Certification18 Our Rating
HBO's most watched series since 'The Sopranos' is set in deepest Louisiana, where cute waitress Sookie's ability to read people's minds puts her off any potential men... that is until vampire William arrives on the scene.
Many vampires, though much maligned by rednecks, Christians - God Hates Fangs - and other non-liberals have 'come out of the coffin' and entered mainstream society. A number of civil rights organisations champion 'vampire rights' and a huge parallel exists between vampi

TWIN TOWN (1996)
Certification18 Our Rating
Post-Trainspotting Brit comedy following the exploits of two miscreant Swansea brothers waging a vendetta against the local tycoon who they blame for persecuting their father. Twin Town is low-life and proud of it. It's gritty, brutal (think Godfather antics) and not for the faint hearted.

UP IN SMOKE (1978)
Certification18 Our Rating
There is little point in trying to explain this dope fuelled classic, it's lewd, crude, surreal mayhem; the first of Cheech and Chong's many movies and the best of the bunch. Lay back, give yourself some chilling and enjoy the insanity.

WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM (1980)
Certification18 Our Rating
A tour de force of twisted weirdness, gonzo journalism and mutated nastiness, plus a bit of fear and loathing. Based on the writings and real life exploits of 60s journalist Hunter S Thompson. It's all here, the copious drink, the superhuman drug intake, and the wind-ups shot at whatever symbol of authority Thompson considers as fair game. Excellent.
