Razor-sharp rom-com, putting a contemporary slant on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew". Probably the best of the recnt re-worked classics, the action kicks off in a Seattle high school, where new boy Cameron has fallen head over heels for the lovely Bianca. But there's one very big fly in the ointment - Bianca's big sister, surly rebel-without-a-clue Kat, who hates everything and everyone, particularly if they're male. To keep the peace, the girls' parents have decreed that Bianca can't st

GREASE (1978)
CertificationPG Our Rating
A high school musical which ripped off everything it could from the 1950s. At the time it was slated, but, in retrospect, it started a trend and is nowhere near as bad as some of the movies which followed it. In fact, one could go as far as to say it's now a bit of a classic...

Veronica is a dissatisfied member of the in-crowd at high school until she meets JD, a cool newcomer to town, and they decide to play a practical joke on the 'queen bee', unaware she's about to become complicit in a series of murders.

THE SURE THING (1985)
Certification15 Our Rating
Reiner's splendidly confident, witty teenage variation on 'It Happened One Night' focuses on two students hitching across the States through rainstorms, starvation and show tunes. He's a libidinous layabout, who inadvertently dropped in to college, and she's an uptight goody-goody who believes spontaneity has its time and its place. There's plenty of mileage in this pairing, even if the movie isn't going anywhere unexpected. It now looks like a dry run for 'When Harry Met Sally' and some of the
