| The Keeper - Unrated |
In Redwood County, stripper Gina (Asia Argento) is attacked in a motel and the police are called in. Her boyfriend was killed in the attack and, after recovering and making her statement, Gina wants nothing more than to move on. However, Lieutenant Krebs (Dennis Hopper) has other ideas and kidnaps her, locking her in a cell in the cellar of his isolated house. What follows is a battle of wits between Krebs and Gina while Sergeant Burns (Lochlyn Munro) tries to track down the missing Gina. This film desperately wants to be a tense psychological thriller, and it isn't. It's a bit slow in places and some of the and some of the plot points made me go umm. That said, Dennis Hopper does put in a terrific performance as a cop who's straight to the point of insanity. Argento, also, puts in a powerful performance as the victim looking for an escape and between them the two actors do manage some genuinely tense moments - especially in the second half of the film. It's just a pity they didn't have a better script to work with. |

| LovecraCked! The Movie - Unrated |
There have been many attempts to turn HP Lovecraft?s stories into films and many films that claim to have been inspired by him (63 according to the IMDb) and many of these have been less than successful. In that light, Elias deserves a great deal of credit for managing to bring together a well crafted and generally entertaining collection of films ? even the misses aren?t that bad ? that successfully celebrate both the writer and the spirit of independent cinema. I?m not sure how well this film will go down with the purists, but for the rest of us it?s a fine collection of films and one that really does include something for everyone. More |

| Rollerball - R |
Rollerball is an interesting and thought-provoking film with a truly unforgettable climax, and one that deserves to be seen. It is also a genuine science fiction film in that it attempts to extrapolate a future from present trends as opposed to the flashy CGI driven drivel that gives the genre such a bad name. More |

| Fah talai jone (Tears of the Black Tiger) - Unrated |
Tears of a Black Tiger manages to simultaneously pay homage to and parody both western and romantic films. It?s also one of the funniest and freshest I?ve seen in a long time. So much so that, as soon as I saw the film, I ordered the DVD - what more can I add? more |

| Willard - PG-13 |
No-one does deranged intensity like Crispin Glover and this tale of a lonely introvert that befriends a population of rats allows him to stretch his abilities to the full. With every blink, every jump, every wide-eyed stare, we're drawn deeper and deeper into the character of Willard Stiles and his relationship with his rats - especially Socrates and Ben. And I was amazed at how much of a personality they managed to invest in Ben. He may be a rat, but he clearly feels that Willard's alpha male role in the pack should be his. Every time Willard and Ben face off, the intelligent malevolence that Ben manages is truly shocking. Not so much a horror film as a very dark fairy tale, this is one film that is both unforgettable and highly recommended. |

| Mon Oncle d'Amerique - PG |
My American Uncle is a real cinematic oddity combining documentary and drama to fashion something wholly original. Heavily narrated, especially at the start of the film, My American Uncle takes a while to get going. But its unique combination of a very human script, solid performances and some fascinating insights into human behaviour make this a very rewarding film indeed. more |
