Review: “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”
A warm and enjoyable comedy drama, 'Ya-Ya' is an engaging albeit forgettable 'chick flick' which has had quite a large amount of anticipation building...
Review: “Cinderella Man”
Already being described as "Seabiscuit without the horse", 'Cinderella' shares many commonalities with last year's racing flick in terms of it being a Depression-era...
Review: “Maybe Baby”
Ben Elton has done some great stuff in his time, co-writing some of the best comedy TV series ever made ("Black Adder", "The Young...
Review: “Total Recall”

Review: “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”
What could've been a standard coming of age for girls flick proves to be a slightly better than average affair thanks to some strong...
Review: “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock”
Whilst for the most part the "Star Trek" curse that every odd-numbered film sucks is true, "The Search for Spock" manages to remain the...
Review: “Undercover Brother”
The blaxploitation genre is one that's been ripe for the spoofing, and this new Eddie Griffin comedy does it in a style that whilst...
Scarlett Johansson for “The Island”
With her now trademark blonde hair, Scarlett Johansson, may be a mere 20, but this major star-on-the-rise, doing some advance press for her first...
Review: “Wrong Turn”
Impressive for its streamlined approach, this 76-minute teen horror flick wastes no time on characterisation and little time on setup - within the first...
Review: “The Italian Job”
After a strong start to the Summer with "X2", "Nemo" and the problematic "Reloaded" comes this remake of an English thievery comedy into a...
Review: “Finding Nemo”
What can I say about this movie? One word - Brilliant. Pixar have had a long track record of having yet to make anything...
Review: “The Sum of All Fears”
For all its script/story shortcomings and a rather weak lead though, 'Sum' is certainly a solid effort. Whilst its treading over familiar ground,...
Review: “The Day After Tomorrow”
The first hour of 'Day' will arguably prove to be the most entertaining movie of the Summer, which makes it a shame that the...
Review: “Soul Plane”
A decently fun albeit limp comedy, 'Soul' can't hold a candle to the likes of the "Airplane" (aka. "Flying High") franchise but, especially in...
Review: “The Longest Yard”
Neither a high or low light of Adam Sandler's career or remakes in general, "The Longest Yard" nevertheless is an enjoyable little crowd pleaser...
Review: “Mindhunters”
An interesting if not entirely successful revisiting of the serial killer thriller, "Mindhunters" takes on the genre by using one of the oldest and...
Review: “Madagascar”
Whilst Pixar may hit it out of the park every time, other studios attempts at CG-animated movies have proven a far rockier affair. Dreamworks...
Review: “Pearl Harbor”

Review: “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron”
Last year I was one of the lucky ones to see "Shrek" quite early and be one of the first reviewers to talk about...
Review: “Mission: Impossible II”
I was one of the seemingly few who quite enjoyed the first "Mission: Impossible" film back in 1996. The plot was complex and twisted,...
Review: “Insomnia”
After a much acclaimed debut with the low-moderate budget indie "Memento" with Guy Pearce, Director Chris Nolan has decided to remake an well received...
Review: “Enough”
"Sleeping with the Enemy" was a cheesy B-Grade thriller sure, but the then still pre-superstar Julia Roberts was surprisingly convincing and Patrick Bergin's over...
Review: “Shanghai Noon”
I'm the first to admit that I've never been a big Jackie Chan fan though what I have seen of him, the one element...
Review: “Bruce Almighty”
After all too long Jim Carrey returns to his roots with a very mainstream studio comedy which sad to say is surprisingly ordinary. 'Bruce'...
Review: “Shrek 2”
The first "Shrek" was a bit of a masterpiece, an inventive send-up of fairy tales which was geared as much to an adult audience...
Review: “The In-Laws”
Funnier than expected, this remake of the 1979 comedy classic doesn't exactly work in a rehash way but does have its own quirky charms...
Review: “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith”
As one of the seemingly few Net reviewers with no real love of "Star Wars" old or new (I was born in '78, so...
Review: “Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace”
As I came out of the theatre, I overheard a father asked his young son what he thought of the film - the son...
Review: “Godzilla 1998”
Many critics have trouble enjoying a 'popcorn' movie (ie. a film made purely for entertainment), which is why I hate being referred to as...
Review: “Dinosaur”
One of (if not the) most expensive film ever made - though the money could've been better spent. In terms of visuals "Dinosaur" is...
