The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
A Fincher-free follow-up that sees what Pitt’s Benjamin got up to in the womb. Not much, as it happens. Because he was a tiny, wrinkly foetus. It still costs 700 squillion dollars to make.

Kill Bill
In which Uma Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo gets star struck around David Carradine’s Bill for no reason at all. It’s the romantic comedy sensation of the year! With some martial arts so blokes aren’t bored! Quentin Tarantino buys a grave to spin in.

Sleepless In Seattle
Tom Hanks. Asleep. Two Hours. Wait in breathless anticipation for the shocking twist at 75 mins, where he twitches and snorts! Nora Ephron’s best work since… Nora Ephron’s best work, actually.

The Sixth Sense
Even Dead Bruce Willis* couldn’t have helped with this one. Hayley Joel Osment books the gig and uses make-up to try and look younger. Why? He really needs the work. Rated PG-13 for scenes of horror and some finger-stroking.
*Spoiler alert!
