Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Sit down to watch expecting lightweight comdey in which at least a portion of the laughs are telegraphed but are still fairly amusing anyway and you won't be disappointed. Don't expect subtlety or performances that go deeper than a puddle. Sit back, relax and enjoy the slapstick, jokes about bodily functions, and the secret juvenile pleasure these will bring you.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Another film constrined by the probability that the censors would ensure it never got shown if it did what it needs to do to work - show the unremitting gore and the horror - psychological as much as physical - which the real killers on which this story is based inflicted on the victims. Not helped by some fairly bad performances. Not too bad for a Saturday night popcorn-and-gore fest, but ultimately disappointing.

The Salton Sea (2002) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Surprisingly good performance from Val Kilmer and the other leads lifts an average movie into the "pretty good" category.
