End of Days (1999)
Director: Peter Hyams
Certification: 18
Reviewed: 02/19/05
Arnold Schwarzenegger, comes up against Satan, yes really! Arnie has to stop Satan and his minions, if anybody, he's the man to do it. Satan (Gabriel Byrne) needs to get his end away with one particular female before the millennium so there will be no day, only night. Turn on, tune in, and switch off your brain, for this enjoyable action nonsense.

Equilibrium (2002)
Director: Kurt Wimmer
Certification: 15

After a Third World War a totalitarian form of government takes over to manage the world's ills by suppressing mans emotions with a drug called Prozium. Cleric, John Preston (Christian Bale), a top-level enforcer of this government's strict code has the mandate to destroy anyone who opposes the rules. After missing a dose of Prozium Preston starts to question the rules himself...
Equilibrium tries to be Fahrenheit 451 (1951), THX 1138 (1971) and The Matrix (1999) (to name but a few) all rolled into one, which is not a bad thing in itself if done well. It tinkers around with a serious message about freedom and empathy, manhandles them clumsily and then throws them away in gunfire and action nonsense. Like the inhabitants of this society of the future I felt a bit blank about the whole affair.

Eraserhead (1977)
Director: David Lynch
Certification: 18

This bad dream of a movie sucks you into Henry Spencer's (Jack Nance) disturbing world, a place you probably won't want to stay too long. This guy has a bad hair day every day, lives in a dowdy apartment with a singing radiator and has a hideously deformed baby that won't stop making a noise. This is truly one of the most bizarre films I've ever seen, but then it does come from the director David Lynch. Like it or loathe it, this will be something you won't forget in a hurry. Great stuff.
