Movies starring Alan Alda

The Glass House (1972)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Sometimes I wish I could jump back in time, forgetting all which I know and experience a movie for the first time when it came out. That is most certainly how I feel when it comes to "The Glass House" the prison movie from 19...

California Suite (1978)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

So often I question whether I live in the same world as everyone else especially when I find myself pretty much disagreeing with everyone else when it comes to a movie. Take "California Suite", which is based on the Neil Simo...

Flirting with Disaster (1996)

92 mins     Comedy      

That makes "Flirting with Disaster" sound like quite a run of the mill road trip comedy with some typical character types; the nervy, neurotic man in a mid life crisis, the sex mad wife who is desperate to sort things out so ...

Murder at 1600 (1997)

107 mins     Action , Crime, Drama, Thriller      

For a movie which is such a stereotypical, run of the mill cop thriller, there is something entertaining about "Murder at 1600" starring Wesley Snipes and Diane Lane. Nearly everything about it is completely predictable from ...

Mad City (1997)

115 mins     Crime, Drama      

Okay "Mad City" is such a typical 90s movie the sort where Hollywood has taken an interesting premise but turned it into a wholely accpetable form of entertainment for the cinema going public who will pay to see certain star ...

The Object of My Affection (1998)

111 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

It's not often that a movie leaves me flummoxed but "The Object of My Affection" has certainly done that. It is not that I didn't enjoy it, the combination of Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd make a good "odd couple" and the st...

What Women Want (2000)

127 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

Released back in 2000, Nancy Meyer's "What Women Want" is a great rom-com, one which thanks to its pairing of Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt, as well as a clever storyline appeals to both men and women. Whilst it has to be said th...

The Aviator (2004)

170 mins     Biography, Drama      

Mention the name Howard Hughes and I would bet most people will say he was an eccentric millionaire who ended up a recluse. And to some degree that is true and is certainly how his life ended, but Martin Scorsese's "The Aviat...

Flash of Genius (2008)

119 mins     Biography, Drama      

Bob Kearns should be a hero as not only did he improve on an important safety device but in a tale of David versus Goliath took on the big boys in court. Not only should Bob be a hero but his story should be an entertaining o...

Tower Heist (2011)

104 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

You may wonder why I called this review "Puddle Thirteen" but that is because it reminded me of "Ocean Thirteen" right down to the plot line where Lester feeling depressed at losing his money tries to take his own life. But "...

Wanderlust (2012)

98 mins     Comedy      

Either I am getting old or what some people think is funny is a long way off from what I think is funny because I just didn't get "Wanderlust". Actually to correct that I got what "Wanderlust" was about I didn't get the jokes...
