The Earth is invaded by Martians with irresistible weapons and a cruel sense of humour...
The Bosnia and Herzegovina civil war serves as the backdrop for No Man's Land - and the film is easily one of the best of 2001. Writer/director Danis Tanovic has created a movie that combines sharp satire with a powerful, even-handed look at a war that has no clear victors, only victims.
The film opens with a Bosnian army relief patrol attempting to get through a dense fog at nighttime, unaware of where they are or who might be out there waiting for them. Since they can barely see two feet in front of them, they decide to stop for the night...
The misadventures of Mickey and Mallory: outcasts, lovers, and serial killers. They travel across Route 666 conducting psychadelic mass-slaughters not for money, not for revenge, just for kicks.

I want to be Hugh Grant. No, let me rephrase that - I am Hugh Grant...that is, if Hugh Grant was American, twice as befuddled and half as charming. Oh, and really, really tall. What I mean to say is...oh, blast.
In the realm of the chick flick, there is no better model for how to win women without actually being overtly masculine than Hugh Grant...
Hot off his recent Academy Award nomination, Johnny Depp’s follow up to last year’s Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is none other than Finding Neverland. Originally slated for a release last Christmas, the then titled J.M. Barrie’s Neverland was shelved to avoid going head to head with the latest adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s greatest work, Peter Pan...
In 1995 a mob of ticketless Pearl Jam fans ripped down the fencing around the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, zig-zagging around police on horseback and down into the crowd. This wasn't your traditional rag-tag bunch of sweaty dudes running in diagonals hoping they'd make it past security - thousands of people streamed into the venue.
