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: “Y Tu Mama Tambien”

Review: “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”

Review: “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”

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”

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: “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”

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: “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: “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: “Enough”
