Alien 3 (1992)

114 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller

Jack Reed: A Search for Justice (1994)

90 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

Mid 90s made for TV crime movie involving a cop and one which is the 2nd of 5 movies in a series. I say all that because "Jack Reed: A Search for Justice" is very typical of this sort of crime movie from the mid 90s and whils...

Zooman (1995)

95 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"Zooman" is both a fascinating movie but also hard work thanks to the storyline and also style. It is fascinating because of Ruben's actions and those of his neighbours who are more willing to go up against him than stand up ...

Jack Reed: One of Our Own (1995)

91 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie      

I reckon what ever the city it is where Sgt. Jack Reed goes about his business the main criminals are in politics as it seems every case he is involved in has ties back to one politician or another. That does make "Jack Reed:...

86 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie

Random Hearts (1999)

133 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance

Gothika (2003)

98 mins     Horror, Thriller      

Whilst some say 2 out of 3 ain't bad in the case of "Gothika" it is because whilst it looks good and has a cast delivering reasonable performances it lacks a storyline which keeps you engaged just one which is too convoluted....

Secret Window (2004)

124 mins     Crime, Drama

Racing for Time (2008)

86 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

If you have seen the movie "Gridiron Gang" I can easily sum up Lifetime movie "Racing for Time" as saying it is the same but with teen girls in a correctional facility given hope through running. It has all the same elements,...

Fame (2009)

107 mins     Comedy, Drama, Musical

Bad Ass (2012)

90 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime
