The Day of the Jackal (1973)

143 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

I have watched "The Day of the Jackal" 3 times, first time I found it incredibly hard going, slow, overly detailed and whilst I had never read Frederick Forsyth's original novel felt that it might be too literal in its adapta...

Force 10 from Navarone (1978)

118 mins     Action , Drama, War      

"Force 10 from Navarone" is not a bad movie; well it wouldn't be a bad movie if it wasn't the sequel to "The Guns of Navarone" one of the most popular war movies ever made. But because it is the sequel, a sequel which came 17...

Wild Geese II (1985)

125 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

I reckon the one thing you might remember if you have ever watched "Wild Geese II" is that its star, Scott Glenn, was in amazing shape when he made this. I am not on about having the muscular physique of say Stallone but he w...

Return from the River Kwai (1989)

101 mins     Drama, War      

This is not a sequel, I repeat this is not a sequel. That may be a bit of an overkill but if you saw "Return from the River Kwai" appear on the TV schedule and knew nothing about it you might think that it must be a sequel to...

104 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

In 1991 we had the big budget "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" with Kevin Costner but we also had "Robin Hood" starring Patrick Bergin a more modestly budgeted movie in comparison. It is little surprise that Bergin's version e...
