A Numbers Game (*)
it's got Steven Bauer and some lovely tarty 80s clothes on display, so you want to like it - sadly, and evident in the clunky script and over-eager editing, the film is completely overwhelmed by its indie pretensions

Taxidermia (**)
while Taxidermia, an exploration in bucolic Hungarian insanity, lacks absolutely nothing in artistic originality and ugly raw shock value, it just isn't that much fun

Choke (*)
a smug indie sex comedy whose dishonest humour is so self-conscious you almost sense a studio audience just at the edge of the set consisting of the cast's weekend drinking buddies

Survival Of The Dead (*)
within the subgenres of horror, and in good part thanks to more Romero rubbish like this (and Danny Boyle's execrable efforts), I now rate zombies uncooler than even vampires, certainly well below  aliens, ghosts, oversized reptiles, sharks, cannibals, and clockwork toys

Invisible Target (**)
if you enjoy scenes involving state-of-the-art choreographed glass-smashing, explosions, and bodies (often burning) flying around by every conceivable means, then this is your movie: technically, it's light years ahead of the Hollywood equivalents - unfortunately, it's just as full of the same braindead moralistic legitimising
