Gold
6.7/10
Kenny Wells, a modern-day prospector, hustler, and dreamer, is desperate for a lucky break. Left with few options, Wells teams up with an equally luckless geologist to execute a grandiose, last-ditch effort: to find gold deep in the uncharted jungle of Indonesia.
Stalag Luft
6.5/10
Few wartime prisoners have attempted escape quite as many times as bumbling RAF Officer James Forrester. Though Officer Forrester has twenty-three escape attempts to his name, each successive attempt he makes to break free somehow seems to go worse than the last. But this time there's a difference, because Officer Forrester isn't just plotting his own escape, but the escape of all 327 of his fellow prisoners as well - and all at once. In fact even the Germans want to escape!

7/10
Dr. Alvaro Cruz, a neuroscientist, disillusioned by the death of his mother and his inability to help her, finds redemption and reward by helping Una Vida, a jazz singer he discovers performing on the streets of New Orleans.

Chris Barrie's Motoring Wheel Nuts
6.3/10
Who has the shiniest bumpers in Frogmorton? Why do some people require a vehicle that looks like it was designed for rounding up wild animals in Colorado in order to drive 300 yards to the solarium? Is it possible to perform satisfactory sex in the back seat of a Volkswagen Beetle without the aid of a workshop manual? If you yearn for the answers to these and other burning motoring questions, as well as the chance to drool over some of the world's most stunning classic automobiles and exotic modern supercars, then why not let Sir Marmaduke Lovetuesday - heir to a great British tradition of drunkenness, greed and incompetence - take you on a guided tour of the Surley Manor Automotive Gala... a tale of sin, sex and soiled spark plugs!
Can Hitler Happen Here?
