Movies starring Brendan Fraser

Presumed Guilty (1991)

93 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

As a fan of made for TV movies especially those which are based on true stories "Presumed Guilty" is not the first movie I have watched about someone wrongly sentenced for a crime they didn't commit. As such there is shall we...

California Man (1992)

88 mins     Comedy, Fantasy      

In 1992 there was "Forever Young" a movie which saw Mel Gibson star as Capt. Daniel McCormick who having been cryogenically frozen for several decades is accidentally unfrozen and finds himself confused by the changing world ...

School Ties (1992)

16 mins     Drama      

I remember watching "School Ties" when it first came out and it blew me away partly because in look it was similar to "Dead Poet's Society" but also because it had exciting performances from a group of young stars. Ever since...

Airheads (1994)

92 mins     Comedy      

Along long time ago before some of you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye there was a young man called Adam Sandler who was funny, he was different to other comedians and had some amusing ideas. But sadly the evil beast ...

Mrs. Winterbourne (1996)

105 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

Mrs. Winterbourne (1996) confusion comedy starring Ricki Lake who is mistaken for a woman who died in a train crash and then falls for the deceased woman's brother-in-law...

The Twilight of the Golds (1996)

92 mins     Drama      

Now I am no scientist but I am sure back in 1996 when "The Twilight of the Golds" was released it was impossible to do this sort of gene profiling to the extent that it would be possible to pick up on genetic characterisation...

George of the Jungle (1997)

92 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

So from what I understand there was a cartoon in America during the 60s and 70s called "George of the Jungle" and so this is a 90s version of that, made by Disney who back in the 90s were in a remake vibe as they trawled old ...

The Mummy (1999)

125 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

It seems to me that "The Mummy" wanted to be one thing, an adventure movie in a similar style to the "Indiana Jones" movies but for a new generation. As such "The Mummy" does have many elements of those 80s "Indiana Jones" mo...

Dudley Do-Right (1999)

77 mins     Comedy, Family, Romance      

At some point I must have watched at least part of a Dudley Do-Right cartoon because when I watched "Dudley Do-Right", the live action version from 1999, I recognized the various characters and various elements from the carto...

Bedazzled (2000)

93 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

Although it may share the same name with the 1967 movie "Bedazzled", this movie from 2000 is not just a remake rather than one which uses some ideas, the same devilish theme and then makes a new movie from it all. As such Har...

The Mummy Returns (2001)

130 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

"The Mummy Returns" is very much in the same manner as "The Mummy" which means it is built around a lot of action scenes embellished to the hilt with special effects. It even tries to continue the storyline as we meet up with...

The Quiet American (2002)

101 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

Often as a movie reviewer I find myself in a sort of curious situation where I can watch a movie which didn't entertain me but yet I can appreciate why others would thoroughly enjoy it. That is the case when it comes to the 2...

Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)

91 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

I remember as a kid playing in the sea and enjoying bouncing around as the waves came crashing in, but after a while the constant pounding of wave after wave stopped being fun and was exhausting. That is how it is when you wa...

Crash (2004)

112 mins     Drama      

I like movies which take us on a journey through various storylines which somehow interlink, sometimes directly sometimes indirectly; they tend to challenge you to think about things differently as was the case in "11:14". Bu...

The Last Time (2006)

96 mins     Comedy, Drama, Thriller      

The evidence: I had never heard of "The Last Time" despite it having a good cast, it seems I am not alone as 7 years after its release it has a surprisingly low number of reviews both user and critic written posted on imdb an...

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

93 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

"Journey to the Center of the Earth" makes 2 mistakes, one is casting Brendan Fraser in the lead role as he had already done the adventure thing with "The Mummy" movies and for me is too associated with his character in that....

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)

112 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

"The Mummy" was an entertaining movie, "The Mummy Returns" which came 2 years later wasn't bad but then 7 years after the first sequel came "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and the words "oh dear" spring to mind. Ignor...

Inkheart (2008)

106 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

"Inkheart" is a movie with a semi decent idea for a fantasy movie and one which I am sure the intention was to awaken young minds to the adventures which lie between the covers of books. But whilst it has all the pieces of th...

Furry Vengeance (2010)

92 mins     Comedy, Family      

I don't usually do this but some people need to grow up and realise that just because a movie features a star they like that the movie will be aimed at them. Take "Furry Vengeance" as it stars Brendan Fraser, an actor who ove...

Extraordinary Measures (2010)

106 mins     Drama      

"Extraordinary Measures" is a conflicted movie as with Harrison Ford on board it is clearly a big screen movie but it is actually a small screen, made for TV movie. What I mean with a storyline with its roots in a true story ...
