Bad Boys 2
Bad Boys 2 surpasses the original with more action, death-defying stunt work and a pretty good script for its genre. "Bad Boys 2" is exactly what a summer sequel should be – bigger, better and badder than the original. That being said, audiences should be prepared for extremely graphic violence coupled with slow-motion up-close shots of bullets ripping into people. I would have opted for a less violent more comedy approach – and I subtracted a star for the film's extreme excessiveness – for which the lead characters pay no consequence.

Rocky
It's sometimes hard to remember what a great film the original Rocky is because its reputation has been hurt by too many unnecessary sequels. Nevertheless, it's still impossible to resist the charms of this gritty, moving and sometimes very funny underdog story every time you revisit it. From Stallone's script to the perfect casting to the wonderful performances, Rocky is one of those rare movies where all the key elements fall into place. It still manages to inspire, and it's easy to see why this marvelous Cinderella story won the Academy Award for 1976's Best Picture.

Mask of Zorro
If a good, old-fashioned movie is what you seek, The Legend of Zorro is what you get. Good, it mostly is. Old-fashioned, it definitely is. This family-friendly opus features a handsome, humorous hero, a ravishing, feisty heroine, an adorable moppet and a magnificent horse. As for the villains, most of them are ugly as sin. On these simplistic terms, the movie succeeds stylishly. Regardless of how much derring-do they're up to, handsome Antonio Banderas and ravishing Catherine Zeta-Jones never have a hair out of place. Not that you want them to. The Zorro legends have never relied on grim reality.

Battlestar Galactica
Featuring critically acclaimed veteran actors such as Edward James Olmos as Commander William Adama and Mary McDonnell as President Laura Roslin, the new series began in October 2004.

Moore named one of the Cylon characters Gina as a reference to the show's nickname Starting: 21:00 (1 hour) Mon 18th June.
