Stargate:Deep In An Underground Military Base Egyptoligist Daniel Jackson (James Spader) Succeeds In Deciphering The Secret Code Of An Egyptian Relic, Reactivating The Stargate, An Ancient Porthole Capable Of Transprtation Into Another Dimension, Proving His Theory That The Pyramids Were Placed On Earth By An Alien Race. Led By Colonal Jack o'Neil (Kurt Russell In One Of His Most Iconic Roles Since 'Escape From New York'), Daniel Jackson And An Elite Squadron Of Air Force Officers Venture Throuhg The Stargate And Into A Mysterious Land Of Conflict And Adventure, Not Only Risking Their Lives But Also Risking The Future Of Mankind And The World As We Know It. Directed By Roland Emmerich ('The Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla, Independence Day, 10,000 BC') Stargate Is One Of The Most original And Entertaining Sci-Fi, Action Adventures Within The Last Fifteen Years And Was The Inspiration Behind The Seminal, Cult TV Series Stargate SG-1 And Stargate Atlantis.Wrestler:Darren Aronofsky directs this searing drama about a past-his-prime wrestler who tries to regain his earlier fame. Mickey Rourke (Sin City) continues a career revival of his own as the fighter, while Oscar winner Marisa Tomei (In The Bedroom) and Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen) co-star. Rourke as Randy 'The Ram' Robinson, a one-time superstar of professional wrestling who's down on his luck, estranged from his teenage daughter (Wood) and clinging onto the remains of his career by appearing in brutally violent bouts that barely pay him enough to make the rent on his trailer park home. It soon becomes clear that his broken body is incapable of following through the determination of his plucky spirit and when he succumbs to a heart attack he finds himself at a crossroads where he must decide whether or not to continue his futile pursuit of celebrity or make amends with those that he has alienated.After his somewhat ambitious flirtation with the science fiction genre in 'The Fountain' director Aronofsky returns to Earth and back to the emotional human drama of his earlier 'Reqiuem for a dream'. Having fallen from grace in his own professional life, Rourke delivers a towering performance as Robinson; a man whose career trajectory is so close to the actor's own, the film is given a staggering level of poignancy.Harry Brown:In England, retired marine Harry Brown spends his lonely life between the hospital, where his beloved wife Kath is terminally ill, and playing chess with his only friend Leonard Attwell in the Barge pub owned by Sid Rourke. After the death of Kath, Len tells his grieving friend that the local gang is harassing him and he is carrying an old bayonet for self-defense; the widower suggests him to go to the police. When Len is beaten to death in an underground passage, Inspector Alice Frampton and her partner Sergeant Terry Hicock are sent to investigate. They pay Harry a visit but don't have good news; the police have not found any other evidence, other than the bayonet, in order to arrest the hoodlums. This mean that should the case go to trial the gang would claim self-defense. Harry Brown sees that justice will not be granted and decides to take matters into his own hands. :: Customer Review = 3.0

Hello. Mark Watson here. You've seen me on various TV stand-up shows, including BBC1's Live At The Apollo or you've tuned into my own Radio 4 series or read my books or you've never quite done any of these things but have been waiting patiently for your moment. Well, this could be it. This is my eagerly-awaited debut DVD, which I recorded at a sold-out Bristol Hippodrome in July 2011 (I realise the previous sentence sounds a bit cocky, but it's the way people talk in advertising blurbs). Anyway, it was a pretty lively show, with extreme audience participation, death-defying acts and a devastating assault of jokes and stories. I also wave my arms around a lot and yell and there's a bit involving a Pringle which I didn't plan. There are also more than a couple of enticing extras.

... Read more
When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced without apology. Yes, it's syrupy sweet and clogged with clichés, and one can only marvel at the irony of Nick Cassavetes directing a weeper that his late father John--whose own films were devoid of saccharine sentiment--would have sneered at. Still, this touchingly impassioned and great-looking adaptation of the popular Nicholas Sparks novel has much to recommend, including appealing young costars (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) and appealing old costars (James Garner and Gena Rowlands, the director's mother) playing the same loving couple in (respectively) early 1940s and present-day North Carolina. He was poor, she was rich, and you can guess the rest; decades later, he's unabashedly devoted, and she's drifting into the memory-loss of senile dementia. How their love endured is the story preserved in the titular notebook that he reads to her in their twilight years. The movie's open to ridicule, but as a delicate tearjerker it works just fine. Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember were also based on Sparks novels, suggesting a triple-feature that hopeless romantics will cherish. --Jeff Shannon

... Read more
The Middle is a comdey sitcom that shows the daily mishaps of a married woman and their sem-dysfuctional family who attempts to live a normal life in the city of Orson, Indiana. Frankie Heck is a superhero. Well, no, not an actual superhero but sometimes it seems to Frankie as though getting her kids out the door for school every morning is a superheroic act. Middle aged, middle class and living in the middle of the country, this harried wife and working mother of three uses her wry wit and sense of humor to try to get her family through each day intact. Frankie has a job (not a career) selling cars at the town's only surviving car dealer; her husband, Mike, is a manager at the local quarry. In between juggling shifts and picking up fast food dinners eaten in front of the TV, Frankie and Mike raise their kids with love and solid Midwestern practicality. Axl is the oldest, a teenage jock who is eating the family out of house and home and walks around in his underwear. Then there's Sue, their extraordinarily ordinary pre-teen daughter who fails at everything with great gusto. Brick, the youngest son, is an odd kid whose best friend is his backpack. Together, they're putting The Middle on the map.

... Read more
It would be a mistake to confuse The Fighter with the story of Mark Wahlberg, though the similarities are striking. Completely convincing as a boxer, Wahlberg plays welterweight Micky Ward, who grew up in working-class Massachusetts. Like the actor-producer, he had eight siblings, one more famous than the rest. Ward's half-brother, Dicky Eklund (a gaunt, crazy-eyed Christian Bale), turned to boxing first, just as Mark's brother, Donnie, preceded him as a performer (first by singing, then by acting). The similarities end there: Dicky, once known as "The Pride of Lowell," traded his promising pugilistic career for a crack pipe (Sugar Ray Leonard cameos as his best-known opponent). As David O. Russell's film begins, the smothering Alice (Frozen River's Melissa Leo) manages Micky's career, while the unpredictable Dicky attempts to train him. Despite his talent in the ring, though, Micky can't catch a break until he meets Charlene (Amy Adams), a spitfire of a bartender who encourages him to stand up for himself. When Dicky ends up in prison, and Micky takes on a more experienced manager, his fortunes start to improve, but it isn't in his nature to abandon the people who raised him, so he attempts to unite the various factions in his life before his shot at the world championship slips away. Though Russell paints Micky's mother, brother, and sisters with a broad brush, Wahlberg anchors the scenario with his patient, level-headed performance. Rescue Me's Jack McGee also deserves notice as his diplomatic dad, George. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Shot at T in the Park in the summer of 2010, You Instead is a hilarious free-wheeling rock 'n' roll love story set against the raucous magnificence and unforgettable sounds of Scotland's leading music Festival.The film stars Luke Treadaway (Clash of The Titans) as strutting indie star Adam. Arriving at T in the Park for his gig, Adam is handcuffed to punky girl-band leader Morello (Natalia Tena - Harry Potter). Initial frustration gives way to grudging acceptance and then the stirring of genuine feelings over the next 24 hours of the festival. The impressive cast also boasts Ruta Gedmintas (Lip Service), Sophie Wu (Kick-Ass), Gavin Mitchell (Still Game) and Alastair Mackenzie (Perfect Sense).
