There's a wealth of good films out this month just in time for the
clocks going back and the weather turning a bit rubbish.

1st October
First up this month is the action spectacular 300. Based on Frank
Miller's graphic novel of the Battle of Thermopylae this is a
fantastic, no-brainer piece of entertainment. Shot with the same green
screen technique used in Sin City the film is a riot of blood and gore
with some stunning set pieces. Bauer fans will be delighted this week
with the DVD release of 24 Season 6. Set twenty months after the end
of the last season Jack is still being held by some Chinese agents but
as you'd imagine not for much longer.Also due this week:Crazy,
animated comedy film from the TV series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Following the exploits of Master Shake, Meatwad and Frylock as they
try to assemble some immortal exercise equipment the film continues
the shows brand of bizarre, absurdist humour.

8th October
The first of this months superhero releases comes out this week with
the arrival of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. Squaring off
this time against Galactus and his evil henchman the Silver Surfer the
team are back with loads of action and some stunning SFX. This is a
much better film than the original and great fun for the whole family.
Flyboys is a thrilling depiction of the lives of the Lafayette
Escadrille, a French air-combat unit made up from American volunteers
during WW1. There's some excellent dog fighting in the film and the
SFX on the biplanes is remarkable. An ideal Sunday afternoon film.

15th October
Tell No One is finally released on DVD this week. A Hitchcockian
French thriller this is one of October's must see movies. The film
follows the efforts of a widow to clear his name from his wife's
murder investigation. Make sure you catch this one. Everyone's
favourite webslinger is back this month in Spider-Man 3. Facing a
triumvirate of foes - Green Goblin, Sandman and Venom - this time
around means our hero is busier than ever so expect plenty of action,
thrills and spills. Vacancy is released this week, a creepy
psychological thriller sees Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale trapped in
a motel room that's previously been used as a snuff movie set. Can
they escape before they appear in the latest film ?
Also out this week: Goodbye Bafana (story of Mandela's prison guard),
Bridge To Terabithia (lush fantasy for kids), Family Guy Season 6
(more mayhem from the Griffins), Taking Liberties (UK political
documentary)

22nd October
Hostel 2 Eli Roth's sequel sees 3 female college students stumble into
the worst Slovakian accommodation ever. Expect more of the same grisly
horror that made the first movie such a hit. The perfect film for
Halloween.  Lucky You is a poker playing drama with Eric Bana and Drew
Barrymore trying hard to work through their personal problems.
Directed by Curtis Hanson (LA Confidential, In Her Shoes) this is a
confident, touching & sometimes

22nd October Cont.
funny movie. There are two films from Werner Herzog due this week. The
first is Wild Blue Yonder (a strange Sci-Fi enviromental parable) and

Asimov adaptation from 1988).TV addicts should be happy this week with

29th October
As Halloween approaches why not rent Captivity ? Starring Elisha
Cuthbert from 24 as a supermodel held at the mercy of a demented
kidnapper this is a terrifying thriller guaranteed to get you cowering
behind the sofa. Lonely Hearts is a excellent noir-ish thriller based
on a true story from the 1940's. Starring John Travolta
