Set in Orange County, California, in an age where America has lost its ‘war on drugs', a reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, the consequence of which is a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode and even your own motives become unclear. Scanner Darkly is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K Dick and born of his own experiences. Like a graphic novel come to life, the film uses live action pho

CLERKS 2 (2006)
Certification15 Our Rating
Dante and Randall, the vehemently misanthropic anti-heroes of Kevin Smith's joyous debut feature are ten years older but sadly no wiser. Now working at a fast food restaurant the boy's lives seem even more meaningless than before, but Randall's party preparations are set to cause a tumultuous change…..though possibly not for the better. Bo*!^cks, but this is a diminishing returns scenario, still funny in places, and with more laughs than many a ‘comedy', the original still puts it firmly in its

FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982)
Certification18 Our Rating
The film follows a group of high school students growing up in southern California and is supposedly based on the real-life adventures of Cameron Crowe. They hang out in malls, listen to rock'n'roll and hunt for sex like any normal teen slackers. The centre of the film is held by Jeff Spicoli, a perpetually stoned surfer dude, who faces off with the resolute Mr Hand, a man convinced that everyone is on dope. A superior teen comedy about a bunch of kids facing the hassles of growing up dealing wi

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (1998)
Certification18 Our Rating
Terry Gilliam's ambitious adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's insane, cult novel is certainly faithful, but whether it hits the spot or not is another matter. Johnny Depp, as Hunter's journalist alter-ego Raoul Duke, has the guy down to a T in every way, while Benicio Del Toro is suitably deranged as his lawyer and partner-in-crime Dr Gonzo. But the pair's 1971 working trip to Las Vegas, which rapidly becomes a drug-crazed, three day odyssey of utter madness, is so relentlessly weird that this is

Julien Temple has spent the past few years collecting footage from every single Glastonbury Festival, ranging from outtakes from the film Nicolas Roeg made about the 1971 event to amateur home videos collected from the attendees themselves. Interweaving images of impromptu art happeni
