Exterminate All Rational Thought! In a career dedicated to seeing the unseeable and filming the unfilmable, perhaps only David Cronenberg could really do justice to William S. Burroughs' controversial novel, Naked Lunch. Weaving together elements of Burroughs' own remarkable biography with the content of the book, Cronenberg's film steps inside the body and mind of an author to depict the dangerous act of imagination itself from the inside out. Former junkie William Lee (Peter Weller, RoboCop) makes ends meet as an exterminator. But when he and his wife Joan (Judy Davis, Barton Fink) discover the hallucinatory properties of the powder he uses to kill bugs, they become hooked, and their world is changed forever. Insects speak, typewriters mutate and talk, interdimensional beings reveal themselves, identities fracture and blur; nothing and no one is quite what it seems. When Bill, under the influence of drugs, or the bugs that have begun talking to him, shoots his wife, he flees to Interzone, at once a place and a state of mind, where things only get stranger. Winner of Best Picture, Best Direction, and Best Screenplay at the 1992 Genie Awards and winner of the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Director, the film also features a superb supporting cast including Roy Scheider (Jaws) and an astonishing score by Howard Shore (The Fly), featuring Ornette Coleman. Naked Lunch is provocative, transgressive, and surreal - a feast for the senses, where nothing is true and everything is permitted.

There's a sense of awe to the special effects work of animation specialists Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Thunderbirds Are Go)--the slow, lovingly detailed introduction of a massive spaceship creeping out of dock and struggling against its bulk while trapped on the ground, and the almost balletic spectacle of the ship elegantly floating against an impressive star field or dramatically flying against the rugged landscape. These moments are the highlights of this sober science fiction thriller about the discovery of a planet on the far side of the sun in Earth's orbit. A mission is hastily put together, with British astrophysicist Ian Hendry teamed with hotshot American astronaut Roy Thinnes for the three-week trip, but when they suddenly crash-land the strange creatures that surround them are revealed to be human. Against all rational explanations they're back on Earth, but Thinnes suddenly discovers that everything is a mirror image of his existence: Through the Looking Glass by way of The Twilight Zone. Though it begins as a paranoid spy thriller set in the near future (the opening details an ingenious espionage caper featuring a very special eyepiece), it quickly turns into a serious and oddly unsettling space-race drama with a heady twist. Robert Parrish's direction is unusually aloof, but the film is always intriguing and well acted with gorgeous special effects that may rank second only to Stanley Kubrick's 2001 as the most elegant vision of outer space flight on film. --Sean Axmaker

There was no more talked-about domestic footballer in the 2002 World Cup than Manchester United and Ireland's combative captain Roy Keane--and he didn't even get a kick, after being sensationally sent home by international boss Mick McCarthy--but controversy and headlines are the staple diet for the go-it-alone midfielder, and the documentary As I See It confirms that the man himself couldn't care less. The film covers fairly well-trodden ground: his arrival at Forest, the ill-feeling that accompanied his move to Old Trafford, the trophies, the red cards, the drink problem, the injuries--his own and those he allegedly inflicted on others--right through to the Ireland bust-up. While it's certainly his side of the story, it's a warts-and-all portrait. Yes, Keane's autobiography covers the key issues in greater depth, but this film delivers action to balance the anecdotes, with footage covering everything from his earliest professional performances right through to his development into the new Bryan Robson at the heart of Sir Alex Ferguson's reborn United--including the 1999 Champions League campaign that saw Keane drive his side into the final only to miss out due to suspension. There's footage, too, of his ill-starred international career, the on-pitch flare-ups, and testimonies from team-mates past and present, who go on record with their admiration for his drive and ability (the subtext is that they'd rather be on his side than against him). Their comments only serve to highlight the paradox at the heart of the film. Keane is portrayed on the one hand as a family man, cherishing the quiet life, and on the other, as a monstrous figure with a craving for success at any cost, manifested in a gnawing need to force his will on a game, an opponent, a team-mate. It all makes for fascinating viewing. --Alex Hankin
