Wayne's World heroes Wayne and Garth may have won at the box office, but Bill and Ted remain the original and best dudes. This time around the two airheads (played with enormous energy by Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) are still trying to get their band together when they are murdered by their robotic doppelgängers sent from the future by the evil Joss Ackland. They must then face the Grim Reaper if they are to become the saviours of mankind. This sequel lacks the inspired stupidity of the first, but it is still a hoot, especially in the knowing nods to Ingmar Bergman's classic The Seventh Seal as the gormless duo play battleships with the Reaper. Reeves and Winter are once again cheerfully inept, and British director Peter Hewitt stages the spectacular set pieces with some panache. Mostly excellent.

See the entire LOVEFiLM Bergman Collection here Checkmate. Death has finally taken the great Swedish master, Ingmar Bergman, as he always knew it must. No filmmaker wrestled longer and more painfully with the knowledge of his own mortality. His father was a severe Lutheran minister, and a figure who cast a long shadow over Bergman's films, including his premature swansong, Fanny and Alexander (1982), and perhaps his purest masterpiece, Winter Light (1962), a portrait of a pastor who has lost...
