This highly controversial series has somehow sneaked past the censors and been given a dvd and video release. Thank the lord. The humour is extreme to say the least, covering subjects such as pornography, sexual abuse, drug abuse, and the much talked about, paedophilia. With celebrity cameos aplenty (exposing themselves for the ignorant fools they so often are) and comic delivery to die for, you'd be a celebrity to miss this. Not for the easily offended.

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (1998)
Certification18 Our Rating
Terry Gilliam's ambitious adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's insane, cult novel is certainly faithful, but whether it hits the spot or not is another matter. Johnny Depp, as Hunter's journalist alter-ego Raoul Duke, has the guy down to a T in every way, while Benicio Del Toro is suitably deranged as his lawyer and partner-in-crime Dr Gonzo. But the pair's 1971 working trip to Las Vegas, which rapidly becomes a drug-crazed, three day odyssey of utter madness, is so relentlessly weird that this is

MOUNTAIN PATROL (2004)
Certification15 Our Rating
The Mountain Patrol are a pitifully ill-equipped and underfunded volunteer force fighting a relentless, and seemingly hopeless, battle against the poachers of Tibet's increasingly rare antelopes. Based on a true story and shot in a pseudo-documentary style, "Mountain Patrol" is a visually ravishing and grippingly brutal tale of men surviving on what seems like the edge of the world. Set in the beautiful harsh landscapes of Tibet, the locations are stunning, and the local colour vivid.

SPIDERMAN (2001)
Certification12 Our Rating
Tobey Maguire is up there with Michael Keaton as the perfect casting choice for a super hero, diminutive and unassuming in their day wear, but utterly convincing once they donned the kitsch lycra. After a mutant spider bites Peter Parker he suddenly gains the most incredible powers. At first Peter uses these gifts for his own benefit but after tragedy strikes he resolves himself to fighting evil (in particular the rather wasted talents of Dafoe as the Green Goblin) and defending the good people

Helen Mirren is a stunning tour de force as the monarch struggling to come to terms with her role in modern Britain while Michael Sheen is faultless as the populist
