Big Momma's House (2000)

98 mins     Comedy, Crime      

I sometimes feel for Martin Lawrence because it seems at times that those who have handled his career have tried to turn him into Eddie Murphy rather than letting him be his own man. He's done cop movies like Murphy, he's don...

Hart's War (2002)

125 mins     Drama, War      

Reading the blurb on the DVD cover for "Hart's War" and it sounds like a modern PoW movie, an attempt to make something similar to "The Great Escape" for a new generation with Bruce Willis taking a commanding role. And indeed...

Hustle & Flow (2005)

116 mins     Crime, Drama      

2005 must have been an interesting year for Terence Howard as he appeared in various movies with two of them being what you could call underdog stories with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" and "Hustle & Flow". Out of the two it is "...

122 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

There have been plenty of revenge movies over the years, but the majority of them tend to focus on the act of revenge, the brutality of a vigilante seeking justice. "The Brave One" is different because whilst it still has tha...

August Rush (2007)

When you watch a lot of movies you can get into a rut, one movie after another delivering little more than shallow entertainment which leaves no impression. It makes you grateful when you come across something different, some...

Pride (2007)

104 mins     Drama, Sport      

As I watched "Pride" my thoughts constantly drifting to "Coach Carter" as they are very similar movies, both based on true stories, both about inspiring kids through sport and both having a very similar style. Now if I was be...

Awake (2007)

84 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller

Movie 43 (2013) series of sketches featuring a-listers in extreme situations...

Prisoners (2013)

153 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

Okay so "Prisoners" is two and a half hours long and I can break things down to a few sentences as on one hand we have Keller Dover who is willing to some seriously extreme things to try and find out where his daughter is, br...

Dead Man Down (2013)

118 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

Do you know what I like about "Dead Man Down"? It's unpretentious; it knows what it is and delivers on it without the need for going over the top with the dialogue, action or acting. Yes you could say that the climax is a bit...
