The jury's still out on whether director Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Total Recall, Showgirls) is a blatantly gung-ho philistine, or a supreme p**s-taker of all things American. But the fact is, this frenzied, futuristic actioner is a hit of humongous proportions. Extraterrestrial bugs have invaded Earth, so Earth has declared war on Bugland. Casper Van Dien plays square-jawed, all-American boy Johnny Rico, who leads a pack of equally meat-headed raw recruits on a mission to kick some insect-ass on find out more...

This time Arnie has been reprogrammed to protect the young John Connor from the new, improved and extra deadly Terminator model - the T1000. This sequel cost an obscene amount of money to make - and it is worth every penny! State of the art special effects, non-stop action and a plot that works. find out more...

Visually stunning Japanese cyber-punk nightmare destined to become a cult classic in the mould of Eraserhead. The disjointed story follows the descent into madness of a metal-fetishist who, after a car accident, mutates into a metal/flesh cyborg.

Luc Besson goes big budget in this hi-tech sci-fi with Bruce Willis as an amiably tongue-in-cheek taxi-driver, Milla Jovovich as the bizarrely bandaged damsel in distress and Gary Oldham as the bad guy with the odd hairdo - and there's even a cameo from Tricky. A movie that delights in firepower, explosions and loudly destructive mayhem but the real stars are Dan Weil's production design, Jean-Paul Gaultier's outlandish costumes and Digital Domain's special effects. find out more...

An awesome action film that some people rate as the best movie ever made! It's not, but in terms of visual impact and sheer technical wizardry it's hard to beat. It's the near future and nerdy computer hacker Neo (Reeves) is about to discover an alternative reality via a meeting with mysterious rebel warrior Morpheus (Larry Fishburne). Neo learns that life on earth is merely an elaborate farce, a complex computer simulation called The Matrix, and mankind is simply lunch - a source of power for t find out more...

A brilliant sci-fi film about a completely automised/computerised society and one mans disillusion and break from it. Based on Zamyatin's novel "We", the book that got him kicked out of the Soviet Union in 1922 and was also the inspiration for "1984". A movie with brilliant visual style. find out more...

This movie is about as good as it gets from John Hughes. The plot revolves around the rather farsighted premise (this is 1983, folks!) that a young high school punk hacks into the national defence network (the old internet) and starts off a global nuclear incident. As Cold War paranoia abounds him and his girlfriend have to convince a disbelieving US military that it's all a big mistake. Sounds all a bit hokey, I know, but where the film lifts itself above the normal teen trite Hughes has bee find out more...
