Movie Trailers | 20 February 2008
Director Roland Emmerich takes some poetic license with history as he brings his vision of pre-historic adventure to cinemas this spring. Cavemen with American accents, giant sabretooth tigers and huge battle sequences featuring hundreds of rampaging mammoths may not be an accurate portrayal of the past, but it might be an entertaining one.

Reel Weekend | 15 February 2008
Be Kind Rewind is the latest film from French maverick Michel Gondry, who previously brought us Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and last year's The Science of Sleep. Jerry (Jack Black) and Mike (Mos Def) are given the job of looking after a crumbling VHS-only video store when owner Mr Fletcher (Danny Glover) goes away for a few days. Unfortunately, Black gets magnetised while committing an act of environmental terrorism, and somehow wipes every tape in the store. So the bungling duo take it upon themselves to remake the movies using just themselves and an old camera...
