Have you seen The Butterfly effect? Not a new release but a very good film (despite Aston krutcher having the lead role)

Yep touch of class that movie...Kutcher wasn't that bad in the lead role was he? despite him being an asshole in general of course...

"Baseketball" A parody on professional sports and silly humour from the South park team.

Well I laughed, anyway.

Johnny Depp plays yer man who wrote Peter Pan... JM Barrie?? Goes into his life, he meets a widow, played by Kate Winslet, and starts hanging out with her and her kids and then decides to write Peter Pan and bring Peter Pan to the stage, etc...

This wasn't out here when I checked last weekend - the movie buff behind the counter said there were debates over age classification which were causing a delay...

Shaun of the Dead is great - picked it up last week in HMV as part of their 3 dvds for €30 offer
