Delirious (Region 2) by Richard Schuchardt on 26/07/02 One to forget! John Candy sadly passed away just under ten years ago. However he left behind an impressive catalogue of movies that he starred in. [Full Review]
Ali (Region 4) by Pete Roberts on 23/07/02 Forget what you think you know... This was a film that had to be made and really had to be made quite well to receive any form of credit. Thankfully Michael Mann has proven he is a very talented Director and Will Smith has shown he is more than just a cool guy who shoots aliens once every few years. His portrayal of Ali is nothing short of brilliant and should�ve been ranked with Russell Crowe in the Oscar stakes, well above eventual winner Denzel Washington. With a great supporting cast including the sensational Jon Voight as muppet lookalike Howard Cosell the film makes good on its hype and really gives the audience the story we deserved. Brilliant video and audio and a good extras package with a couple of quality pieces makes this film and DVD a great addition to anyone�s collection. [Full Review]

American Outlaws (Region 4) by Pete Roberts on 08/07/02 Bad Is Good Again Despite some enormous plot holes and terrible writing at times American Outlaws somehow manages to entertain. Suspension of disbelief is the key but the performances of some competent cast members help to lift this one just above average. A good video and audio mix and a couple of quality extras make this one a decent rental title to take a look at before the retail release at a later date. Hard to pick if you�ll enjoy this one but take a look and find out for yourselves. [Full Review]

Indecent Proposal (Region 2) by Richard Schuchardt on 27/06/02 Can money really buy love?
100 Women (Region 4) by Pete Roberts on 26/06/02 A frantic, sexy, funny tale Get through all the crappy sexual humour and the lame attempts at being downright disgusting and you�ve got yourself an easy-to-watch, lighthearted romantic comedy. Sam seemed to be more of a kook than kooky at first but he soon became quite likable in his quest for love. There is genuine interest raised about what really happened to Hope which keeps you at least half concentrating on the screen throughout the movie. Chuck in Annie, some more beautiful women, some gratuitous nudity and a pretty coy ending and you�ve got yourself a none-too-surprising flick that�ll still give you a bit of fun along the way. A full frame video transfer, the bizarre inclusion of a DTS track and a practically bare-bones extras department prove that this flick and DVD are pretty much a mixed bag. [Full Review]
