Bruno (DVD) Rating: B-
As one who couldn't quite agree with the assimilationist capitulation of Brokeback Mountain, I got some perverse kicks out of Bruno, who is, without a doubt, the most grotesque gay caricature in the history of cinema. Many parts of the film are unwatchable, but its sendup of that particular gay brand of vapidity is right on the mark.

Spread (DVD) Rating: C
It's nice that Hollywood can still be bothered to make films for the mature audience. However, having Ashton Kutcher try to act adult, and a script that keeps on wanting to pass off as worldly-wise, is not the way to do it.

Humpday Rating: C+
Sorry, I don't get it. Why is this funny?

Ken Park (DVD) Rating: B
Almost as shocking as the contents of this film, and what sets this apart from the rest of the American suburban freakshows, is the chilling documentary-like detachment on display – if Larry Clark relishes putting you through all that vileness, you wouldn't know it. But you also have to wonder: is that enough?

Fantastic Mr Fox Rating: A-
Just as you give up seeing something as tender, rueful and idiosyncractic as Rushmore from Wes Anderson, comes material that melds his preoccupations and sensibilities so perfectly, you're almost willing to put up with the inevitable tomfoolery in his next films just to see another one like this come by again.
