Club Dread (Dir. Jay Chandrasekhar 2004): When a serial killer interrupts the fun at the swanky Coconut Pete's Coconut Beach Resort a hedonistic island paradise for swingers - it's up to the club's staff to stop the violence.

But when the opportunity to solve a real crime rolls their way the formerly inept Super Troopers pounce into action to become highway heroes. Freddy Got Fingered (Dir. Tom Green 2001): Outrageous MTV star Tom Green blows away the boundaries of good taste again - violating so many sacred cows (not to mention horses elephants and deers) it makes 'Freddy Got Fingered' a must-see comedy. Anything goes when wannabe animator Gord Brody leaves the safety of his parents' basement to make it big in Hollywood and meet the paraplegic nymphomaniac of his dreams. With lots of hilarious scenes - and so many reasons to be offended - it's no wonder people can't stop talking about 'Freddy Got Fingered'.
A consumate con-man, Jake Vig (Edward Burns) has just pulled his biggest trick yet. But then he finds out he's conned an eccentric crime boss Winston King (Dustin Hoffman) and there'll be more than hell to pay.
Chinese director Zhang Yimou ends his bid to outfly Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with Curse Of The Golden Flower, the third in his Wuxia (the Chinese style of flying and fighting) films. Much like Hero and House Of Flying Daggers, it is drenched in colours so dazzling, and boasts action scenes so exhilarating, that you can almost forgive any shortcomings in the story. Almost. Despite its grandeur, this film is in many ways the least rewarding of the three. Set in Chinas tenth century Tang dynasty, the story sees Chow Yun Fats emperor trying to poison his wife, a trussed-up and progressively unstable Gong Li, who is having an affair with her step-son Wan, and trying to manoeuvre her other son Jai against his tyrannical father. Lets just say that it gets more complicated from there on in, and involves lots of running through endless corridors, but really, its best to just sit back and let that intense visual style work its magic. Swapping action for dramatic intrigue might have been Yimous mistake, but theres no mistaking his knack for breath-taking cinematography. Even if purely on a visual scale, Golden Flower still manages to captivate, and the final battle scene is at least worth the slightly overlong wait. Die hard fans of these films might feel a bit stiffed, but everyone else wont be short of eye candy. --Luke Mawson

Here's the pitch for Small Soldiers: "It's like Toy Story but these toys that come to life really kick butt!" That's essentially it for this breezy popcorn flick. In a very smart first 10 minutes, new toy-company owner Denis Leary tells his crew he wants toys "that play back". Hence the small soldiers land in Anytown, USA and the loner kid Alan (Gregory Smith) opens them up before they are supposed to be on the shelves. Those military-grade chips sure make them smart and give the toys plenty of pithy retorts to boot. There's plenty of violence and action, most of it fun enough. The vocal talents, including Tommy Lee Jones, Frank Langella and cast members of The Dirty Dozen are inspired characters, the humans less so. With Gremlins director Joe Dante at the helm, it plays like a sequel to that 80s fantasy. Amazing visual effects, of course. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

The Adventures of Pluto Nash was shelved for nearly two years, and when it was finally released, hardly anyone noticed. In the interim, Eddie Murphy made the marginally better Showtime and started fishing for a career revival that wasn't a sequel to his previous hits. In the satirical, lunar-colony hash of Pluto Nash, Murphy's a variant of Casablanca's Rick Blaine in the year 2087, happily running the moon's hottest nightclub, refusing a buyout offer from a greedy gambler, and suffering the consequences with his sidekick robot (Randy Quaid in yet another thankless role) and newest employee (Rosario Dawson, before doing similar time in Men in Black II). A visual hybrid of Total Recall and A.I., this nearly laughless comedy would be a total write-off if it weren't for Murphy's stalwart attempt to jump-start the flagging humour. He's got the chops of a superstar, but only when his collaborators are on the same page. --Jeff Shannon

Cult director Jim Jarmusch links their stories together by the comic antics of the night clerk and bellboy, played by Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Spike Lee's brother Cinque.
