The greatest movie ever made? A soldier is sent into the Heart of Darkness to retrieve a commander gone AWOL in an insane reality of tin-pot power, paranoia and inglorious killing. The horror of war is stripped naked in a surreal twilight world. The crew nearly went mad making it, Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack and Coppola flew so far beyond budget that the word 'bankrupt' was nearly redefined.

The definitive 'Apocalypse Now' (as if the original wasn't pretty definitive) this has nearly an hour of extra footage fleshing out the surreal journey of our central protagonists and, though it brings the film to a whisker short of three and a half hours, much of it explains what happens to the eclectic characters we meet.

Nemo is a clown fish and the only son of his over protective father; when the young lad is whisked a way by a scuba diver, his dad sets out on an adventure across the seas to find him, aided only by spectacularly forgetful regal blue tang called Dory. Finding Nemo has some great scenes, the vegan sharks and hippy turtles are amongst the highlights, but though visually stunning, as you would expect from Pixar, it lacks the sly but unobtrusive wit that made Toy Story and its sequel such a delight find out more...

Captain Jack Sparrow has lost nearly everything; his treasure, his beloved boat, even his treacherous crew. What Jack hasn't lost however is his roguish charm, envious self-belief and a single minded determination that what was once his will become his again. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' also has true love, much righteous daring do and a ship full of the undead, but this high seas romp is made by Johnny Depp's hilariously roguish pirate; a comic tour de force and a rip-roaring adventure to boot. find out more...
