Donnie Darko
September 30, 2003
A hit at Sundance last year, Donnie Darko arrives here with a highly deserved buzz of anticipation but bafflingly limited cinema release. On paper the setup sounds cheesy – Messed up teen sees giant bunny rabbit who predicts end of the world –...
Near Dark
September 28, 2003
The year 1987 was kind to horror film lovers, producing a double-shot of vampire thrillers: The Lost Boys and Near Dark. The former’s MTV-friendly soundtrack, coupled with then heartthrobs Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland, resulted in the latter’s...
Star Trek: Nemesis
September 25, 2003
It’s time to boldly go once more where only the bald critic Daz will tread, so strap on those phasers and head on out to the Neutral Zone as we look at the tenth Star Trek; Star Trek: Nemesis. It’s long since been common knowledge that Star...
The A-Team: Volume 1
September 23, 2003
For those of you that grew up in the eighties with shows like Knight Rider, Street Hawk and Airwolf you’ll know that there was only one T.V. show really worth watching. It was about four fugitives from justice, in a black van and it starred Mr....

Long Time Dead
September 15, 2003
What an utterly incompetent piece of absolute garbage, can someone please tell me how movies like this get made? On my Episode 1 rating (You know how bad Episode 1 is? Well I now rate movies as to how long they take me to get restless, bored and angry...
South West 9
September 12, 2003
South West 9 was made by the same company as Human Traffic, which although itself not really much of a movie is emerging as one of the better British flicks of recent times, which shows you just how bad most British films are. But Human Traffic, I feel,...
Back to the Future Trilogy Box Set
September 7, 2003
In 1985 the Spielberg produced Back to the Future became one of the greatest and most successful films of the decade, some may say that it is the defining movie of the Eighties, but it so nearly didn’t happen. Director Robert Zemeckis, as he explains...
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
September 4, 2003
After watching Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings Daz is convinced he is a hobbit, he may have the shabby clothes and really bad foot odour but his six foot plus frame suggests otherwise. Every once in a while a film comes along that redefines everything...
