Exit Wounds
July 29, 2003
The biggest money making genre in film history has always been the action movie, with Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Van Damme leading the way. Here we’re going to look at the greatest action star to ever throw away his badge and be told he’s...
Dead End
July 21, 2003
A family travelling down a country road become lost and start to die in mysterious circumstances. The rather bonkers brainchild of two French screenwriters who wanted to direct their first film but were told their idea was too ‘un-French’...
Panic Room
July 7, 2003
Locked in a hi-tech, reinforced steel room cowering from the intruders in her house, Meg Altman must protect her daughter and get the violent intruders out any way she can. Sounds like she’s had a run-in with suspicious Daz, but instead it’s...
Ocean’s Eleven
July 3, 2003
When it comes to crime capers there’s only one man for the job, and it doesn’t even invalidate his parole. Daz examines Ocean’s Eleven and plots a trip to Las Vegas, guess we won’t be seeing him for a few years. Over the years...
Runaway Jury
June 21, 2003
The umpteenth John Grisham courtroom drama also happens to be one of the best, with Cusack, Hoffman and Hackman chewing the scenery like hungry dogs. You’d be forgiven for passing by Runaway Jury in the shops, thinking it was just another Grisham...

From Hell
June 12, 2003
We question the wisdom of giving Daz a film about Jack the Ripper, someone he has followed and idolised for years. We decided what the hell, let’s treat it as an experiment and see what he does. For some reason I’ve always had an interest...
Blade II
June 7, 2003
In 1998 Blade became something of a surprise hit. Originally with Ice Cube down to play Blade, it was going to be a mediocre sized release with little in the way of expectations. Then Wesley Snipes became interested and the scale of the project rose. Blade...
The Godfather Trilogy
May 12, 2003
There are times I feel that I’ve just simply seen too many films. Particularly bad films, the kind of film that just saps your enthusiasm for it all. I’d convinced myself that I liked bad movies, that I actually derived enjoyment from watching...
Ticker
May 7, 2003
Steven Seagal makes his triumphant return to the DVD arena and this time he swaps his trademark ponytail, black outfit and Zen preachings for a ponytail, black outfit and some, erm, Zen preachings. Yes, once again he’s playing a cop as well. This...
