Memento (DVD)


A
Gripping, puzzling but ultimately satisfying thriller which relies on viewer perception to alter and twist the plotline as it gradually and tantalisingly unravels.

Die Hard 4 (Cinema)


C
Once disbelief is suspended, the movie succeeds in it's purpose, which is to entertain and amuse.

Crash (DVD)


B
As single segments the scenes in this film are successful but when pieced together the message they are trying to convey is confused.

Brothers in Arms (DS)


C+
A remarkable technical achievement, pushing a solid 3D engine that is unrivalled on the platfrom at a stable framerate.  Plays well on the most part but is hampered by it's linearity and structured design that removes any freedom and makes progression a case of moving from marker to marker.

The Rub Rabbits (DS)



D+
Amps up the number of minigames compared to it's predecessor but the quality takes a significant hit as a result. This leaving a final product that has a quirky style and plot with little substance and some fun sections balanced by twice as many poor ones.
