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...
Review: “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”
With a wry smirk and more gunplay (albeit less gore) than a Robert Rodriguez movie, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" comes as a surprise -...
Review: “The Honeymooners”
Bearing practically no relation to the 1950's sitcom on which its based, short of the title and behavioural characteristics of its two leads, "Honeymooners"...
Review: “Gone in 60 Seconds”
Jerry Springer isn't what you would call award winning television. It's trashy, the scripts are bad and the people on it rather one-dimensional. God...
Review: “Swordfish”
"Swordfish" is a great film - no, I don't mean that the way you're thinking. Rather I mean that its a perfect example of...
Review: “Evolution”
"Private Parts", "Road Trip", "Dave", "Twins" - as a producer Ivan Reitman is still a pretty strong filmmaker and while all those aforementioned films...
Review: “Y Tu Mama Tambien”
'Tambien' isn't the start of a new wave of cinema that many critics have been labelling it, in fact its the revival of one...
Review: “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”
Generally and rightfully considered the best of the Trek movies, 'Khan' remains one of the best pure action-packed revenge-motivated films of modern day cinema.Sure...
Review: “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”
One of the best films so far this year and a big step up from two previous solid efforts, 'Azkaban' takes the Potter film...
Review: “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me”
"Twin Peaks" the series at its peak (the first season) was a different David Lynch than usual, one more toned down for television and...
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: “Lords of Dogtown”
What is essentially a Hollywood narrative-driven remake of the award-winning "Dogtown and Z-Boys" documentary, 'Lords' is a grittier and more urban than expected coming...
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: “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: “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: “Total Recall”
My favourite film from one of my favourite directors, "Total Recall" is an absolutely superb sci-fi film and a true modern cornerstone of 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...
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: “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 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: “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: “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: “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: “Pearl Harbor”
Its the biggest film of the year but does that make it the best? No. As Summer movies go its fine - Bruckheimer doing...
Review: “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron”

Review: “Mission: Impossible II”
