Aliens have invaded Earth and they’ve understandably decided to focus a substantial amount of their fire power on the home of Hollywood. As America burns it’s left to a rag tag group of Marines to pull out survivors, and generally save the day, in-between dying pretty God damn heroically. OK so Battle: Los Angeles is generic to a tee and some of the dialogue is excruciating, but this is a crackingly relentless action movie, and if it wasn’t as preposterous as it is, it probably wouldn’t be as mu

A stunning visual account of man's struggle for survival in the 21st Century, a time when replicant life forms are beginning to surpass humans not just in intelligence but emotions, raising questions about our concepts of self.

1999 and Sierra Leone is in the midst of civil war, the rebels infamously using an army of indoctrinated children to do their genocidal work.

BLOOD SIMPLE (1985)
Certification18 Our Rating
A brilliant and highly rated thriller made in the Hitchcock mold. A hard-nosed businessman hires a low life private eye to murder his wife and the lover she's run off with, but the assassin has plans of his own. Ingenious, superbly original, satisfyingly convoluted and excruciatingly tense. A must-see.

BLUE VELVET (1986)
Certification18 Our Rating
It's sick, it's weird, it's spooky, but it's compulsive viewing. Forget Brat Packs and Rambo, this is the dark side to America. Beneath the squeaky clean surface lurk neuroses and perversions, degradation and despair. Brilliantly done, this film will haunt you.

"Breach" relies more on the depth of story and the subtleties of honest acting, Cooper excels as the unknowable and reptilian analyst, than a breakneck pace and explos
