Review: “Land of the Dead”
As someone who doesn't normally like zombie movies, last year proved a surprise with "Dawn of the Dead" and "Shaun of the Dead" -...
Review: “Bewitched”
Last year saw Nicole Kidman come out with "The Stepford Wives", a production which started out with the interesting idea of remaking the classic...
Review: “Me, Myself & Irene”
The trouble with edgy humour is that you have to walk that very thin line of having gags which push new boundaries and are...
Review: “White Chicks”
The comedy theme of men posing as women and women posing as men has gotten so old that any variation that can be found,...
Review: “Herbie: Fully Loaded”
A kids film pure and simple, "Herbie" doesn't have that 60's charm to fall back on that the original films can still get away...
Review: “Minority Report”
As much as I admire its aims and look, "A.I.: Artifical Intelligence" sadly ended up being a rather poorly executed failure. The less...
Review: “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”
What can one say about the Zemeckis/Spielberg collaboration but quite simply - brilliant. The combination detective noir story, slightly adult humour, crazy toon characters...
Review: “Lilo and Stitch”
Despite some rather beautiful (if old fashioned) designs and illustrations, Disney's major Summer animated feature proves sadly only a slight improvement over last year's...
Review: “Hulk”
Neither abject failure (ie. "Daredevil") or rousing success (ie. "Spider-Man", "X2"), "The Hulk" will probably go down as the black sheep of the recent...
Review: “Jaws”
What can one say about the perfect Summer movie that hasn't already been said? Even thirty years on, "Jaws" remains the definitive thriller about...
Review: “The X-Files: Fight the Future”
As the haunting whistle tune opens the film's credits against a viscous black liquid background, one sees straight away that "The X-Files: Fight the...
Review: “The Terminal”
No filmmaker is perfect. Kubrick, Coppola, Scorsese, etc. all have their bombs. Indeed, many of the great directors from the 80's and early 90's...
Review: “Shaft”
The black private dick is back in a fast, dark, fun and gritty urban thriller. "Shaft" is certainly a Summer movie no doubt -...
Review: “Fantasia 2000”
Back when it came out in 1940, "Fantasia" was a masterpiece. In a time when animated adventures were purely of the "Snow White"/"Bambi"/Donald...
Review: “Batman Begins”
I'm in a situation I haven't been in in ages. If there is one thing that's bad about watching and reviewing every major release...
Review: “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”
Anticipation for a summer blockbuster film can be a killer as more often than not they're a let down - indeed those keenly looking...
Review: “Scooby-Doo”
"The Flintstones", "Josie and The Pussycats", "Casper" - some of these films made it big at the box-office but as films they were really...
Review: “The Bourne Identity”
One thing I'm continually surprised by in my line of work is how poorly read the post-baby boomer generation is in regards to fiction...
Review: “Hollywood Homicide”
You really have to feel sorry for Harrison Ford. Whilst all the old action heroes like Van Damme, Seagal, Stallone, etc. have at least...
Review: “Dumb and Dumberer”
While it may not take the title of worst comedy of the year, the prequel to the idiotic but admittedly laugh out loud funny...
Review: “Rugrats Go Wild”
Going into this movie I was daunted as I'm a total virgin to both "Rugrats" and "Thornberrys" franchises so none of the characters were...
Review: “Clash of the Titans (1981)”
As a kid there are many films we fall in love with so much that coming back to them years later you're either left...
Review: “Predator”
Though his films have been fizzers of late, back in the late 80's/early 90's John McTiernan was 'THE MAN' when it came to Hollywood...
Review: “Garfield”
Flat, short and about as pleasant as a furball, "Garfield" is one sick putty-tat. In many ways it's surprising that the famed and admittedly...
Review: “The Chronicles of Riddick”
David Twohy has been one of the more interesting cult filmmakers of recent years. The surprisingly fun alien invasion flick "The Arrival" managed to...
Review: “The Stepford Wives”
A legend before it screened anywhere, "The Stepford Wives" is already infamous for being one of the most famous behind-the-scenes disasters of filmmaking in...
Review: “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial – 20th Anniversary Edition”
There's a period in one's life, between the ages of about 7-13 or so, when the good movies one sees will leave an indelible...
Review: “Howl’s Moving Castle”
A parable on war, an English fairy tale style setting, and a weird subtext mixture as only the Japanese can do it - "Howl's...
Review: “High Tension”
Whilst derivative in the extreme to the likes of the American low budget slasher films of the late 70's like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre",...
Review: “Speed”
If "Die Hard" became a mould for a whole generation of the action film genre, then "Speed" was the one which taught filmmakers a...
