The Office: Season 1
January 20, 2006
Whenever a U.S. network tries to remake a popular British sitcom it almost always fails. Roseanne’s take on Absolutely Fabulous never saw the light of day, John Larroquette’s version of Fawlty Towers was dreadful and the more recent attempt to remake...

It has been 25 years since John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd’s most famous characters, the Blues Brothers roared their way onto the big screen and re-introduced the world to the joys of classic rhythm and blues. After receiving criticism for only releasing...
Clueless: “Whatever!” Edition
January 14, 2006
It’s amazing to think that Clueless (1995) is ten years old. This teenage remake of the Jane Austen novel Emma went on to influence what a generation of kids wore and said and launched the careers of several young actors. It presented a hyper-real world...
Stripes: Extended Cut
January 14, 2006
A general rule of film should be “that anything with Bill Murray in is worth a look.” That’s what Stripes brings; a comedy classic, from the early eighties, given the special edition treatment, starring Bill Murray, that is worth a look. A million...

The Quest
December 30, 2005
Boobs, beer and bad language. Sounds like the perfect male dominated night out, and The Quest pretty much is, but with a storyline hidden somewhere in the depths of vomit and unsavoury behaviour. This documentary film shows us the shallower side of American...
Vital Signs
December 21, 2005
Made in 1990, Vital Signs still carries residual of the ‘80s with its cheesy soundtrack. The film follows the trials and tribulations of several third year medical students as they compete for limited internships and to do so they have to earn enough...
