Walk All Over Me - a young woman (Leelee Sobieski) runs into trouble with criminals when posing as her dominatrix housemate (Tricia Helfer) to make some quick money. Perfectly adequate little indie movie that will be of particular interest to those who are interested in the pro-domination field. Sobieski in particular is pretty good at playing the novice and looks great - 4/5

Lars And The Real Girl - a shy loner (Ryan Gosling) living in a small town in Ontario brings home a girlfriend in the form of a Real Doll - the Niki model, to be precise - who he believes to be a real human being. His family and community go to great lengths to accomodate his delusion. It's all actually rather sweet-natured and, ultmately, somewhat moving. There's a good chance you'll want to have tissues on hand... no, not for that, it's a 12 certificate! No naughtiness here - 4/5

The Bridge - documentary about jumpers from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, the world's most popular suicide spot. Over the course of a year, director Eric Steel's cameras filmed the bridge, capturing the moments when 24 people chose to jump to their deaths. Friends and relatives talk on camera about some of them. A haunting and poignant film that wisely eschews any kind of sensationalism, instead finding beauty in the tragedy - 4/5

Manufactured Landscapes - documentary following photographer Edward Burtynsky has he travels (mostly around China) capturing landscapes created from by industry and urbanisation. While the photography is often stunning, we're not given long to linger on each particular shot, which is a problem because they are so detailed they require lengthy perusal to be truly appreciated. As a documentary about a photographer, it fails in that it lacks depth and you never truly get a feel for the man and his motivations, unlike in, say, the exceptional film on Sally Mann, What Remains. Burtynsky's work is best approached in a gallery, book or even on his website - 3/5

The Shield: What Power Is... - 4/5

Spooks: Episode 7.4 - 4/5
