love for one another to survive both the inferno and the snarling threat outdoors. Directed by Colin Minihan (Grave Encounters, What Keeps You Alive) and starring real-life partners Justin Long and Kate Bosworth, Coyotes is an intense and tightly

Starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and Alfred Molina.
Cut in the US to obtain a PG-13 rating. Further cut by the BBFC for PG rated 2004 cinema release. The 2.1 version restores the MPAA cut but all DVD releases include the BBFC cut. All Blu-ray releases of the 2.1 version are fully

after two years of fighting crime as Spider-Man, his life has begun to fall apart. The girl he loves is engaged to someone else, his grades are slipping, he cannot keep any of his jobs, and on top of it, the newspaper Daily Bugle is attacking him
viciously, claiming that Spider-Man is a criminal. He reaches the breaking point and gives up the crime fighter's life, once and for all. But after a failed fusion experiment, eccentric and obsessive scientist Dr. Otto Octavius is transformed into super
villain Doctor Octopus, Doc Ock for short, having four long tentacles as extra hands. Peter guesses it might just be time for Spider-Man to return, but would he act upon it?

Thanks to Byron: Uncut 2.1 The UK Blu-ray of Spider-man 2 is uncut with the headbutt in tact that the BBFC cut in 2004. Sony has used the US disc to master the UK disc. This can be seen by the PG-13 rating
before the film starts and the US copyright warnings. With HD there is no NTSC or PAL issues so (in this case thankfully) lazy film studios can just use their US masters as HD is 24 frames per second the world over. Spider-man 2
on Blu-ray also comes with Spider-man 2.1 and can only be brought as a box set trilogy with films 1 and 3.

UK: The IMAX Version was passed 12A for moderate fantasy violence after the same BBFC advised category cuts were implemented for:
From the BBFC website: IMAX
When classifying a film for cinema release the Board carefully considers the impact of the special effects and sound track on the likely audience. In the case of SPIDER-MAN 2 the Board believes that the huge
screens and powerful sound systems in IMAX cinemas, designed to deliver an intense cinematographic experience, mean that some young children may find the film more 'scary' than they would if they saw it at a 'traditional' cinema.
The '12A'
rating does not mean that young fans cannot see the film as children under 12 years of age can see a '12A' rated film if they are accompanied by an adult. The '12A' rating for IMAX cinemas is designed to help parents with young or sensitive children to
make sure that their trip to the cinema is not a distressing experience.
UK: The Theatrical Version was passed PG for moderate fantasy violence after BBFC advised category cuts were implemented for:
- 2004 Columbia/Tri-Star R2 DVD
- 2004 cinema release
From the BBFC website: Headbutt:
During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice regarding the classification of this film. Following this advice, sight of a headbutt was removed prior to the work being submitted for
classification. The submitted work was passed without cuts.

Writing in their 2002 annual report, the BBFC commented: The award-winning US film Monster's Ball contained at least one sex scene which might have justified an '18' certificate had it occurred in a film
offering sexual thrills as the primary pleasure. Carefully placed in a serious and moving drama, and clearly intended to provide insight into the characters involved, their emotional states and their complex relationship, the scene was judged to be
acceptable in the context of the film as a whole at certificate '15'.

Promotional Material Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 101 Films presents the gloriously camp 80s horror Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama
(1988). A proudly low-budget gem from Charles Bands Full Moon Features, this is quintessential 'so bad its good' cinema--cheesy, raunchy, and gleefully over-the-top, blending horror and comedy in equal measure. Bringing together three of the decades
ultimate scream queens--Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead), Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre), and Michelle Bauer (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers)--Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama has earned enduring cult status as a trashy,
late-night favourite. In a bowling alley from hell...theres only one way to score! There are no freshmen in the college of love, and theyre about to graduate to madcap mayhem when a sorority prank goes crazy. Out to
steal a trophy from a local bowling alley, the kids accidentally unleash the imp -- a sadistic little spirit with a diabolical sense of humour. He creates demons and loves sexy women. Hes the original party animal, inviting you to come along and die
laughing -- just like everybody else. The Sorority Babes wont live through initiation, but dont blame that cute little killer. Hes evil by nature and funny as hell. And even if you can take a joke, it kills you. SPECIAL FEATURES
