SHALLOW HAL (12)

COMEDY about a man who only dates perfect women. Then he is hypnotised by a self-help guru and can see their inner beauty. This film tells us beauty is only skin deep - along with telling the same joke over and over again.

DVD/video rental 7/10

THE LAST CASTLE (15)

ENJOYABLE action thriller starring Robert Redford as a disgraced general sent to a military prison. James Gandolfini plays the evil warden hell-bent on making his life a misery. Cliched at times but, with superb action on display, this film ends up king of the castle.

DVD/video retail/rental 8/10
