Wes Anderson has brought Dahl's tale of Mr Fox up to date, and moved the story to America

Fantastic Mr Fox misses Roald Dahl menace (Rated 3/ 5 )

District 9 (15)
'Forget Transformers, Terminator and the other expensive tosh disfiguring our cinema screens this summer. District 9 is a South African sci-fi B-movie that punches well above its weight even as it falls back on inspiration from major-league precedents.

Review: Inglourious Basterds - Tarantino bounces back to gloriously violent form (Rated 4/ 5 )

Thursday, 20 August 2009

"I think this might be my masterpiece," Lt Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) declares after carving a swastika on a Nazi's forehead toward the end of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. The film might not be Tarantino's masterpiece but it is his most entertaining and exhilarating effort since Pulp Fiction.

The Wire: the Complete Series 
Virtually every TV critic in the country has described it as the greatest TV show ever made, and combined with the fact that it was shown here on the relatively obscure FX channel, it's hardly surprising that The Wire has really taken off on DVD. Over five series, the show takes you through the inner workings of Baltimore, and its wide scope ranges from the detectives in the homicide department to the drug dealers on the corners. If you haven't yet succumbed to the hype then do so - you are in for a treat.
