BAMBI

Watchable. Disney lovely as ever but films about growing up and about animals make me terribly homesick.

FREQENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TIME TRAVEL

Recommended. A low-budget science fiction comedy full of brave new ideas.

GUNESI GORDUM

Walked out. A family in a remote village in eastern Turkey strives to survive where every boy grows up to become either a soldier or a guerilla. Then they move to Istanbul and things aren't any more cheerful or action faster.

OUTLANDER

Walked out. A standard alien hunk fights with a standard monster, loses his standard spaceship and ends up in a standard Iron Age village full of standard macho warriors and standard beautiful maidens.

SHIFTY

Recommended. A fascinating account of meaningful 24 hours in the life of a middle class drug dealer and people around him. Well acted and shot, realistic and insightful. I loved the line about it being a good time to do drugs with the government being so busy with the war on terror that no one cares about drugs any more.
