No Retreat No Surrender
When a Mob Gang forces his Karate Instructor Dad to move, he finds that the same Gang wishes to take over the local Karate School. Thanks to being trained by the spirit of Bruce Lee, he is able to take on the man who injured his Dad. Jean Claude Van Damme is the Mob Gang heavy in this Karate Kid rip-off which has a lot of over acting.
Alice In Wonderland
Tim Burton's take which sees Helena Bonham Carter give a fantastic performance as The Red Queen. Otherwise it's your typical Tim Burton Film which was made for Disney.
El Duce Tapes
Documentary chronicling the Singer of Shock Rock Band, The Mentors. Using footage filmed and interviews with people around him, it's a fascinating look at what Alcoholism and what the Underground Metal scene was like in the 90's. However I felt it could have used being trimmed as I felt that it was getting a bit repetitive. If watching with someone else, make sure that they are ok with very offensive lyrics.
Fighter
True Story of Boxer Micky Ward's story of becoming a Boxing World Champion. It features his dysfunctional relationship with his Brother and his Many Sisters as well has his domineering Mother who was more focused on his screw up Brother. Well worth a watch.
City Slickers
Billy Crystal is going through a mid-life crisis so he and his friends go on a Holiday hurding Cattle which is led by a very gruff Jack Palance. Crystal is hilarious with his sarcastic lines. Very funny film.
