Review: “Children of Dune”
The first "Dune" mini-series may have lacked the sheer scope of David Lynch's wacky feature film version but as a piece of television it...
Radha Mitchell for “Melinda & Melinda”
Radha Mitchell is appropriately glamorous as we meet in a large, New York hotel room in which she is spreading the news about her...
Chloe Sevigny for “Melinda & Melinda”
Before she became an actress, Chloë Sevigny was Jay McInerney's "It" girl. After sighting the young Sevigny on the streets of New York, where...
Review: “Showtime”

One of the better shoot 'em up games in computing history comes to the big screen in a way that is not only near...
Review: “Ice Age”
FOX's first big foray into the CG animated world has resulted in what is a good film for kids, but certainly doesn't have the...
Naomi Watts for “The Ring 2 & Ellie Parker”
Before she became an international celebrity, before she was clutched by a giant ape or scared of a Ring or two, British-born Aussie Naomi...
Review: “Willard”
A stylishly hammy, over the top and somewhat twisted empowerment fable - "Willard" works as a mid-range "X-Files" episode which is a shame as...
Review: “The Hunted”
Some flicks you just have to wonder - what was the point to all that? "The Hunted" is one of those movies. This "Rambo"/"Fugitive"...
Review: “Erin Brockovich”
One of the first things they teach students in film school is to have a sympathetic main character, and unfortunately 95% of these filmmaker...
Review: “Spartan”
My favourite film of the year's first quarter, "Spartan" proves David Mamet's best in ages and an invigorating shot in the arm for the...
Review: “Secret Window”
Yet another failed Stephen King adaptation, "Secret Window" is like "Misery" dumbed down and without any of its deliciously dark humour. The novella admittedly...
Review: “Against the Ropes”
I'm all for someone breaking out of the genre they've become known for. When it comes to Meg Ryan though, a staple of romantic...
Review: “Robots”
If there's one group of people who'll be happy with "Robots", it's Pixar. With the exception of Dreamworks' "Shrek" franchise, Pixar is the sole...

Yet another attempt by Bruce Willis to recreate his "Die Hard" glory days, "Hostage" tries to be one of those broad appealing action thrillers...
Review: “Mission to Mars”
Brian DePalma has directed twenty six movies in his career, some are cinematic classics, some entertaining romps, and some barely watchable stinkers. "Scarface", "Carrie",...
Review: “The Time Machine”
The lacklustre new interpretation of HG Wells' sci-fi classic is a grave disappointment. George Pal's 1960 film version was hokey and not as...
Amanda Bynes for “Robots”
Amanda Bynes is part of that new crop of teenage star that continues to take Hollywood by storm balancing successful careers on both the...
Review: “Bringing Down the House”
A few years ago, Warner Bros. released "Three to Tango" - a Matthew Perry comedy in which he's mistaken for being gay and so...
Robin Williams for “Robots”

Review: “Evil Under the Sun”

Review: “Cruel Intentions”
The whole teen film revival of the last year or so has proven to result in more bad films than good. Last year the...
Review: “The Pacifier”
Budding action heroes always feel the need to branch out into other genre fare ranging from comedy to critical drama. For some such as...
Review: “The Jacket”
A rather strange mix of blunt psychological thriller with low-key science fiction, "The Jacket" is certainly the biggest mindf**k of a film this year...
Review: “Be Cool”
Bearing little or no relation to Barry Sonnenfeld's over-rated but still slickly pulled off 1995 black comedy "Get Shorty", this 'sort of' sequel has...
The Rock for “Be Cool”
The Rock has thrown in his wrestling mat for good, but acting seems to be his calling, proven with his scene-stealing turn as a...
Harvey Keitel for “Be Cool”
Harvey Keitel has always been reluctant in talking to the press, yet here he is, in good humour, honest and happy to talk about...
John Travolta for “Be Cool”
