120 mins     Crime, Drama      

Having just won an Oscar for Vietnam epic "Platoon" Oliver Stone entered the world of warfare once more, although a war which is more apparent to your average guy on the street with "Wall Street". A now iconic movie which too...

Point Break (1991)

120 mins     Action , Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Although I absolutely love "Point Break", I can honestly say it is not for the acting or the storyline, maybe I've subconsciously wanted to be a righteous surf dude. Anyway, the basic appeal of "Point Break" comes in two form...

Hear No Evil (1993)

97 mins     Thriller      

How to make the audience aware that a character cannot hear can be done in a variety of ways and for a split second "Hear No Evil" does it right as it shows the character of Jillian in a noisy park but when we see it from her...

On Deadly Ground (1994)

101 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

"On Deadly Ground" not only stars Steven Seagal but it is also his debut as director a deal he made with Warner Bros. which saw him in return agreeing to appear in "Under Siege 2". That is sort of ironic because for all sense...

Se7en (1995)

127 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

I once asked someone what was so great about the movie "Se7en" and they struggled to come up with an answer. And I have found this is often what happens when "Se7en" is brought up in discussion with your average movie goer wh...

The Rock (1996)

The first of 3 consecutive action movies for Nicolas Cage "The Rock" sees Nicolas Cage as biochemist Standely Goodspeed who ends up part of a crack force sent on to Alcatraz island to stop General Hummel (Ed Harris) from firi...

Nothing to Lose (1997)

98 mins     Comedy      

There must be a name for it, I know I had it with some of Adam Sandler's movies and I know others have it with different movies to. What am I on about? I am on about movies when you first watched them they were hilarious but ...

Three to Tango (1999)

95 mins     Comedy, Romance      

To put it bluntly "Three to Tango" is sadly just another average, mainly daft romantic comedy but although I say sadly it is good fun, it is entertaining and although you may not get a mushy sensation from it, you will probab...

Office Space (1999)

89 mins     Comedy      

You know how in cartoons you have someone talking on the phone and they hold the phone away from their ear and all you hear is mwar, mwar, mawaaar, mwaaaar, mwa. Well watching "Office Space" is like that as there is a lot of ...

Get Carter (2000)

102 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

Get all your money and pay some engineer/ scientist types to create that mind wipe device from "Men in Black" then you could wipe from your memory watching "Get Carter" the 2000 remake of the Michael Caine classic. Now you ne...

The Animal (2001)

84 mins     Comedy      

"The Animal" has two things going for it; the first of those is Rob Schneider being likeable, delivering the juvenile sort of comedy which will amuse young audiences but without really offending anyone. The second thing is Co...

Stealing Harvard (2002)

85 mins     Comedy, Crime      

"Stealing Harvard" is not terrible, I have definitely seen worse movies but it is 85 minutes of nothing-ness, 85 minutes which you will want back once it is over. What is the problem with the movie, well lame, repeated jokes ...

Identity (2003)

90 mins     Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

Intelligent horror, it's a term you don't often hear for the simple fact that most horror movies tend to reside on the side of being dumb. "Identity" is different because here we have a clever storyline which combines stories...

Are We Done Yet? (2007)

92 mins     Comedy, Drama, Family      

Plain and simple "Are We Done Yet?" is a children's movie, it is all about simple often stupid humour which children will enjoy with Ice Cube playing the harassed step-dad plagued by a quackers contractor. Now from adults poi...
