Jumanji is a visually elaborate fantasy about an enchanted board game that opens a magical portal to a jungle universe. Two young children, Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter (Bradley Pierce), discover the game in an abandoned home and suddenly are greeted by Alan (Robin Williams), an adult who has spent his life trapped inside the game since playing it at age 12. Alan's only hope for freedom involves finishing the game, but this proves rather dangerous, as Judy, Peter, and Alan find themselves running for their lives from huge rhinoceroses, evil monkeys, vicious lions, and other terrifying jungle beasts. Director Joe Johnston, whose special-effects background previously came to good use in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, used groundbreaking computer imagery to simulate the thrills.

In a departure from his usual misanthropic characters, W. C. Fields plays a mild-mannered, small town shopkeeper who is constantly hounded by his family, customers, and assorted strangers in It's a Gift (1934). The result is one of his funniest films and allows him to portray Harold Bissonette as the classic underdog, one whose calm perseverance under duress is finally rewarded at the end: Harold's dream of owning an orange ranch becomes a reality.

The Walking Dead tells the story of the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse; it follows a small group of survivors, traveling across the desolate United States in search of a new home away from the shuffling hordes of the undead (or "walkers"). The plot is focused primarily on the human element of a post-apocalyptic world and the way the struggling human race survives. The group is led by Rick Grimes, who was a sheriff's deputy in a small Georgia town before the zombie outbreak. As their situation grows more hazardous, the group's desperation to survive pushes them to the brink of insanity. At every turn they are faced with the unbearable horrors that come from having the dead walk again, the changing dynamic of their group, as well as facing hostility from the scattered remains of a struggling human populace who are focused on their own survival, now that the structures of global society have collapsed.

Lukas Moodysson is a Swedish director famed for his brutal, documentary-style approach to filmmaking - capturing some controversial aspects of life with desperate realism. Some of his films are easily comparable to the works of Ken Loach or Larry Clarke and similarly his movies may not be to everyone’s taste and will possibly appeal to few - but they are still commonly regarded as poignant statements about the horrors of real - often teenage - life. Here we get a collection of four of his main features, capturing, in turn, the troubles associated with ‘coming out’, the ups and downs of life in a seventies free-living commune, an abandoned child’s struggle in Russia and finally a boy’s struggle for survival while his dad films a degrading porn movie in the living room. None of them sound very appealing, but often - as in the case with depressing movies like Bjork’s debut, Dancer in the Dark - the pain of watching is worth it in the end.
