1.		Blood Diamond [2006] from Warner Home Video Price: £4.98 Customer Review: This film, based on the dreadful events of 1990's Sierra Leone (limbs hacked off, families massacred etc) is in the 4 to 5 star range. It could be upsetting for some people to watch, because it DOES show brutality, sadism, indifferent UN officials suffering from compassion-fatigue. In a word, it is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Babel [2006] from Paramount Home Entertainment (UK) Price: £4.98 Customer Review: I thought great another brad pit movie.. I started watching it and was waiting for it to get a bit better. Starts with poor family buying a machine gun with money and a goat. It then goes to the young sons out looking after the goat herd. Then it has a scene which I can only describe as being... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Michael Clayton [2007] from Pathe Distribution Price: £4.98 Customer Review: Really enjoyed this film and I am really am not easy to please (so I am told).

4.		The Last King Of Scotland [2006] from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Price: £4.98 Customer Review: I don't tend to follow award nominations, as they can be very pretentious. However, at this price, I thought to give it a try. I have to say I was not disappointed! I remember something of this regime on television as I was growing up, but did not know much about it. This film had a compelling... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Notes On A Scandal [2007] from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Price: £4.98 Customer Review: I resisted seeing - or indeed even reading about - `Notes on a Scandal', as I had wrongly assumed it was the kind of tasteful, Oscar-baiting `Quality British Drama' that I loathe. With Cate Blanchette in tow, I thought I could smell theatre-honed, BAFTA-approved method acting a mile off. In fact,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Bobby [2006] from Momentum Pictures Home Ent Price: £4.98 Customer Review: After watching Bobby for knocking on an hour you could be forgiven for thinking you are watching a soap opera -a classy extremely well cast soap opera mind- but a soap opera none the less. So far we have been introduced into the lives of several characters in and around the Ambassador Hotel Los... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Illusionist [2006] from Momentum Picture Home Ent Price: £4.98 Customer Review: The Illusionist is the most sumptuous recreation of the Austro-Hungarian empire I have ever seen on film (actually, its the only recreation of the Austro-Hungarian empire I can recall seeing on film) and as such takes place in the twilight age of European empires and hereditary dynasties, where... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Painted Veil [2007] from Momentum Pictures Price: £4.98 Customer Review: For some reason this film bypassed me on its first release, but eventually I caught up with it at the cinema and on dvd. If you like intelligent, beautifully acted literary adaptations, if you like beautiful scenery, and if you like real emotional content in your films, I heartily recommend The... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Good German [2007] from Warner Home Video Price: £4.98 Customer Review: As a tribute movie it is very well made, in that it attempts to be of the same film noir style that now is long gone. It is very well shot in B/W with great play at light and shadows, the acting feels like it is on stage and it is a crime detecitve story. Blanchet however is no Bergman, she is... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Lives Of Others [2007] from Lions Gate Home Entertainment Price: £4.98 Customer Review: an authentic portrayal of the stasi spy system in Eastern Germany which prevailed before the collapse of the Berlin wall and which conscripted millions of its citizens to spy on each other and everyone else. an intimate poignant representation via the its central characters, the film needs to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
