A Case of Deadly Force (1986)

95 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"A Case of Deadly Force" is an entertaining little movie but for the wrong reasons as the entertainment should be in the dramatization of a true story especially one which resulted in a landmark legal decision. But this side ...

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)

93 mins     Comedy, Drama      

I've watched "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" numerous times since its release back in the late 80s and have always liked it. The daft thing is that it took another movie, "Due Date" which came out in 2010 for me to realise exa...

Disclosure (1994)

128 mins     Drama, Thriller      

With a poster campaign which featured the evocative image of Demi Moore straddling Michael Douglas "Disclosure" certainly garnered a lot of attention, maybe more than it actually deserved. Billed as a slightly erotic thriller...

Simply Irresistible (1999)

94 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

I have a problem with "Simply Irresistible" as on paper it sounds like a reasonable fantasy rom-com aimed at adults but what is delivered is a daft rom-com which is at a teenage level. It just doesn't work and whilst the stor...

Along Came a Spider (2001)

104 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller      

It would be easy to bemoan the fact that "Along Came a Spider" is a thriller which contains many plot holes and one too many twists, but the thing is that it works. What I mean by that is that if "Along Came a Spider" hooks y...

Changing Lanes (2002)

98 mins     Drama, Thriller      

You are in a supermarket and someone barges in to you with a shopping trolley, they glare at you as if it's your fault before walking off, do you ignore it and move on or do you hit out and give them a piece of your mind. In ...

The Elizabeth Smart Story (2003)

86 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie      

The name Elizabeth Smart meant nothing to me before I watched "The Elizabeth Smart Story" and to be honest it didn't mean much more to me after. Before you get angry let me explain, as a movie "The Elizabeth Smart Story" does...

Kinsey (2004)

118 mins     Biography, Drama      

This movie review of "Kinsey" comes from someone who had never heard of Alfred Kinsey or the books he wrote or the controversy he caused. Instead this movie review comes from a movie fan that enjoys the biopic genre because o...

The Matador (2005)

96 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

Split into parts "The Matador" is basically a hitman movie tied together with an unlikely buddy movie, mixing dark humour with emotion. And this mix of stories, humour and emotion works to create a darkly amusing but also sur...

Hide and Seek (2005)

101 mins     Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

The trouble with watching and reviewing lots of movies is not burnout but the simple fact you become far too clued in to movies. As such "Hide and Seek" ended up becoming one of those tick box movies for me, putting a check n...

Secretariat (2010)

123 mins     Drama, Family      

Here is the thing, whilst Secretariat was one of the greatest race horses in the world, and depending on who you talk to the greatest, the movie "Secretariat" is not really about the horse or how he won the Triple Crown. Nope...

Selma (2014)

125 mins     Drama      

The acclaimed film Selma tells the gripping and moving true story of the pivotal moment in Dr Martin Luther King Jr?s epic civil rights struggle - the 1965 protest march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to secure voting righ...
