Hugo (2011)
Hugo is unashamedly old–fashioned, and a rare treasure. A children’s film this may be, but it is The Godfather of children’s films; a perfectly crafted masterpiece steeped in rarefied class and unmatched beauty. In a word, magic.- DVD

In Bruges (2008)
A sharp, savage comedy with acidic wit and a dark heart. It\'s bold, brutal and brilliant.
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)
Bold, vivid and brilliant. A ferocious thriller that drags you in, with an exceptional performance from Hoffman.
Drive (2011)
It seems to be a fairytale crossed with a nightmare; the simple sweetness of the central relationship mingled with the chilling horror of a bloody curb–stomp, and it is ultra–stylish, ultra–cool and utterly mesmerising.
Help, The (2011)
The acting is excellent, but the film itself is limited, condescending and sappy.
Tree of Life, The (2011)
Vast and thought provoking. A very beautiful experience.- DVD
$24.95 $18.70
Blue Valentine (2010)
The story is powerful and the direction is wonderful, but it is Gosling and Williams who steal the show with a pair of incredible performances.
French Connection, The (1971)
Intense, brilliantly made thriller with incredible set–pieces and an outstanding performance from Gene Hackman.- DVD
$19.95 $14.95
Taxi Driver (1976)
Powerful beyond words. De Niro gives an exceptional performance, keeping the viewer mesmerized throughout a stunning portrait of post–war angst. Haunting, unforgettable viewing.
Goodfellas (1990)
Powerful, insightful and gripping gangster flick. Absolutely incredible.
