Harvey Pekar lives the life most of us dream of avoiding, a filing clerk by day, a man at odds with, and lost in, the world he inhabits the other sixteen hours. Harvey begins to write down his disgruntled observations and with the help of equally cantankerous illustrator, Harry Crumb, ‘American Splendor' is born. This movie of the man's life is an inspired mixture of animation, documentary and dramatisation, with Paul Giamatti finally getting a role worth his talent. Funny, sad, sharp and hip to

Bob Crane was the star of the hugely successful 1960s TV series "Hogan's Heroes", a man of fine upstanding character until he's befriended by a svengali-like video technician. Together the two men embark on an increasingly dark journey of sexual hedonism that leaves Crane increasingly estranged from reality and, ultimately, dead. Auto Focus is a fascinating film, visually atmospheric, superbly performed by the two leads and an utterly gripping account of one man's decent into addiction.

The dark, brutal and apocalyptic spawn of the cheesy original 80's TV series is back for its third season, and shows little sign of flagging. There is no letting up on the beleaguered remnants of humanity as they struggle to survive the onslaught of the Cylons and find a way to earth, but they're frequently in as much danger from each other as they are from their robotic nemeses and, as the Cylons discover compassion, so the humans begin to lose it. Occupation;

A frustrated, highly strung, spectacularly unsuccessful puppeteer inadvertently finds a passage way into the mind of John Malkovich and, uniquely skilled as he is in the art of manipulation, this seems like the perfect opportunity to escape his dead-end life and dull wife. There is little point in trying to explain the story further, you'll just have to watch this fantastically surreal, absurd, dark, gobsmackingly original comedy - the brainchild of a quite obviously seriously warped puppy.

After escaping the massacre of a boat load of refugees fleeing toward Allied lines, Rachel, alone, bereft and terrified, joins the Resistance and, using her feminine wiles and intelligence, infiltrates the lair of those responsible for her grief.
