ON A CLEAR DAY (2005)
Certification12 Our Rating
Frank has never missed a day of work in his life, never put off doing a job when it could be done right there and then, but when Frank finds himself on the wrong side of middle age and unemployed, his life begins to unravel. Desperately in search of some kind of focus Frank decides, along with the support of his mates, to prepare himself for a cross channel swim. Well acted, good hearted British drama in the same vein as those occasionally run away successes such as The Full Monty.

RADIO (2003)
CertificationPG Our Rating
A true story based on the remarkable life of ‘Radio', a mentally handicapped young man encouraged towards greatness by the local football coach. Whilst Radio is a beautifully filmed movie, Cuba's performance is excruciating. It's also so sugary sweet if you ate it you'd probably die from a glucose overdose.

REMEMBER THE TITANS (2000)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Based on a true story, we follow the conflicting paths of two men, forced to overcome their mutual dislike and together mould a ragtag bunch of young men into a winning football team. 'Remember The Titans' is a glossy, feel good drama, clichéd but entertaining, that probably works best as a sports movie.

THE KARATE KID (1984)
Certification15 Our Rating
A fatherless teenager arrives in California to find himself bullied by a local karate expert. Helped by a wise old Okinawan man, Miyagi, Daniel-san's training includes not just the technique to face his enemies in competition but many, far more valuable, moral lessons. A charming movie with many wry and wise quips and a huge nod to zen. 'Paintdafence', 'Wax-on-wax-off' and the less well known 'Sand-da-fwoor'. Ace.

THE KARATE KID PART II (1986)
Certification15 Our Rating
Daniel and Miyagi go to the old man's home town in Okinawa, take some sage advice, mumble a few slightly confused morality based analogies, and of course get into some choppy socky fights….oh if only life could remain so simple and pure of heart.

THE KARATE KID PART III (1989)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Daniel is blackmailed into defending his championship title, not only alienating his mentor in the process, but playing into the hands of Miyagi's vengeful enemies. Like watching your arthritic granddad show you his breakdance moves… slightly embarrassing, utterly unconvincing, yet strangely compelling. The franchise is wearing thin.
