A brilliant black comedy. A young office worker goes down town to find a girl he met in a diner. The problem is he can't get back up-town and is caught up with all the wackos and weirdos who come out after hours. A paranoic nightmare with a manic surreal quality.

The repetitive use of gags that gradually become more and more over the top and an indefinable surreal quality help make this movie one of the funniest and most original for years - and it's an American teen comedy too!!! If you have not seen it yet watch and let your mates know about it. find out more...

Intersplicing clips of all those old heroes, like Bogart, Ladd, Stanwyck, Milland, Lancaster, Laughton, Cagney, with comic clips of Steve Martin as a keen, but clumsy detective who gets all the good lines, creates both an extremely funny comedy and a whodunnit in the best possible taste. find out more...

John Waters slips effortlessly into mainstream cinema, whilst sticking to his trademark irreverent black comedy. Kathleen Turner plays the perfect suburban mom, as American as apple pie and a stickler for family values and good manners. Secretly however, she's a vicious, foul-mouthed psycho killer! Ahead of its time and absolutely genius. find out more...
SHREK (2001)

CertificationU Our Rating

Shrek is an Ogre who lives in contented anonymity in his swamp, but the threat of losing his home forces the reluctant beast to set off an adventure to rescue a tougher than old boots damsel in distress, closely followed by a particularly gobby donkey. Shrek effectively carries on the fine tradition began by 'Toy Story', stunning computer animation tied to a story that's apparently for kids but which has a script that's knowing, witty, loaded with in-jokes and squarely aimed at the adults.
