The greatest endurance race in the world is the ultimate mix of high-speed action drama and skill and the 1983 running of the Le Mans 24 Hours Race was no exception. For the dominant works Porsche pairing of Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell this would prove the longest day with the 956 dropping to 44th after an early spin. It was only the beginning of a mesmerising fight back that would see the legendary drivers claw their way into a podium position and in spite of late mechanical woes challenge their teammates for victory. Despite a field strengthened by entries from Lancia Peugeot Aston Martin and Sauber BMW the battle of the Circuit de la Sarthe would once again be all about Porsche which filled the top eight spots at the end of more than 3 000 miles of high speed racing. There was drama all the way with the works 956 of Vern Schuppan Hurley Haywood and Al Holbert being nursed over the finish line with its recovering sister car just a handful of miles behind. In this incredible review of the record-breaking 1983 Le Mans 24 Hour Race you experience not only the racing drama and colour and atmosphere which surrounds this amazing event but also discover first-hand what it is like to travel along the Mulsanne straight at speeds of more than 230mph courtesy of cameras mounted inside the leading Porsche cars.

Having developed his skill as a master of contemporary crime drama, writer-director Michael Mann displayed every aspect of that mastery in Heat, an intelligent, character-driven thriller from 1995, which also marked the first onscreen pairing of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. The two great actors had played father and son in the separate time periods of The Godfather, Part II, but this was the first film in which the pair appeared together, and although their only scene together is brief, it's the riveting fulcrum of this high-tech cops-and-robbers scenario. De Niro plays a master thief with highly skilled partners (Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore) whose latest heist draws the attention of Pacino, playing a seasoned Los Angeles detective whose investigation reveals that cop and criminal lead similar lives. Both are so devoted to their professions that their personal lives are a disaster. Pacino's with a wife (Diane Venora) who cheats to avoid the reality of their desolate marriage; De Niro pays the price for a life with no outside connections; and Kilmer's wife (Ashley Judd) has all but given up hope that her husband will quit his criminal career. These are men obsessed, and as De Niro and Pacino know, they'll both do whatever's necessary to bring the other down. Mann's brilliant screenplay explores these personal obsessions and sacrifices with absorbing insight, and the tension mounts with some of the most riveting action sequences ever filmed--most notably a daylight siege that turns downtown Los Angeles into a virtual war zone of automatic gunfire. At nearly three hours, Heat qualifies as a kind of intimate epic, certain to leave some viewers impatiently waiting for more action, but it's all part of Mann's compelling strategy. Heat is a true rarity: a crime thriller with equal measures of intense excitement and dramatic depth, giving De Niro and Pacino a prime showcase for their finely matched talents. --Jeff Shannon

Grab your BFG and get ready to kick some Martian-demon butt in Doom, another entry in the increasingly crowded videogame-to-movie genre. The Rock plays Sarge, the commander of a squad of Marines sent to investigate a disturbance at a scientific research facility on Mars. Among the squad is John Grimm (Karl Urban, who played Eomer in The Lord of the Rings), who turns out to have had a previous relationship with Samantha (Rosamund Pike, Die Another Day), the scientist who's accompanying the Marines in order to retrieve some vital data from the facility. Based on id Software's legendary first-person shooter, Doom tries its best to look like a game, with dark, angled corridors, ferocious creatures appearing out of nowhere, and a variety of lethal weapons that will, like the aforementioned BFG, warm the cockles of a gamer's heart. There's also one memorable sequence that actually turns the movie into a first-person shooter; the good news is that in the context of the whole film, it's not quite as goofy as it might have been. And that's not a bad frame of reference for the film in general. Considering the game-to-movie field includes such duds as Wing Commander, if you go into Doom with low expectations, you'll probably find it a surprisingly respectable horror/sci-fi thriller in the Resident Evil vein (including its somewhat obligatory subplot of corporate wrongdoing). Also in its favor is that it's unabashedly R-rated, for the extreme gore that is a trademark of the game. After all, the purpose of the movie is to pack scares and thrills into a setting that gamers will quickly recognize. In that sense, it qualifies as a success. --David Horiuchi

Film-maker ‘Jack Innov’ wants to make serious movies but after years spent making low budget horror film rip-off’s, he realises his only chance is to bank roll his dreams on the back of a sweeping romantic self-penned porn epic titled ‘Assanova’. Alas Jack’s quest to film his tour de force is beset with difficulties right from the start. Managing the minuscule budget is a piece of cake compared to the antics of the eccentric and eclectic cast and crew, (including, a junkie continuity girl, a naked German cinematographer and a pair of lesbian actresses who feel uncomfortable using explicit language). In the midst of this madness Jack is forced to come to terms with his own sexual inexperience, (as knowledge of only one sexual position can be a key impediment in the porn world).The whole bungling enterprise is bank-rolled by two gormless gangsters, Ron and Reg, one obsessed with the immense bosoms of the female cast while the other is more concerned with the Greek leading man’s over-endowed bonhomie and manhood. But Jack is a man on a mission and no mishaps or obstacles will sway him from the creation of his modern minor masterpiece. The show must go on.
