Doomsday is a silly but entertaining homage to Mad Max and Escape from LA/New York, with a streak of British humour and some pretty impressive Scottish scenery.

Dog Soldiers
Low budget British humour werewolf movie with some really funny moments and some very scary moments, and some very, very gory moments, Dog Soldiers packs a good punch and certainly entertains.
The Fifth Element
Fifth Element is an excellent science fiction action love story (girl dies, gets reborn, girl meets boy, boy falls in love, boy and girl save the world) with amazing visuals, excellent dialog, enaging action sequences and a lot of heart.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (extended DVD version)
An amazing adaptation of an epic book that delivers an enthralling and wonderful experience, but is let down by one or two minor special effects issues.
Shrek the Third
The weak storyline and seen it all before graphics let down the third Shrek film and although it has some decent comic moments it never lives up to the promise of the first two.
Cloverfield
If you can cope with the handy-cam film style then Cloverfield provides an entertaining and high quality mystery drama with excellent acting and yet it doesn’t quite live up to the viral marketting hype.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Hellboy II: The Golden Army sets new standards in fantasy film special effects providing a visually rich and stunning experience allowing you to effortlessly believe in the images you see on screen and backs this up with a snappy and funny script and exciting action sequences.
The Dark Knight
This superb dramatic action flick and absolute darkest Batman movie to-date doesn’t live up to the impossible hype but still delivers an excellent and entertaining 2 and a half hours of dramatic quality movie going fun.
Wanted
A fast-paced high quality action movie with a morality based plot and interesting story, Wanted deserves it’s 18 (uk) rating and delivers a visually stunning experience.
The Fugitive
High quality thriller from the early 90’s with a good-enough story and superb performances from Tommy Lee Jones (the US Marshall chasing the ‘bad’ buy) and Harrison Ford (the ‘bad’ guy).
